Directions.

Per Student Spending:

I don't believe spending is the issue. Madison spends $14,858.40/student (2011-2012 budget)

Middleton's 2011-2012 budget: $87,676,611 for 6,421 students = $13,654.67/student, about 8% less than Madison.

Waunakee spends $12,953.81/student about 13% less than Madison.
