Nerad's plan just throws more money at problem

Bob Hartwig:

After reading the highlights of Dan Nerad's proposal to close the student achievement gap, I see the same liberal method of looking for solutions by throwing more money at the problem.

His proposal will cost the district a projected $100 million-plus over five years. This is an average of $800 per year across the 25,000 student body. Madison is already 13 percent higher in cost per student, now $13,493 versus the state average of $11,894 per student per year, according to the Madison School District website.
