Compensatory Education funding for the poorer district runs $3.8 million while the wealthier district is receiving $633K. The intent of this funding is to serve the needs of the children with the most needs. This does enable the poorer district to provide additional services to those children. However, when you look at the revenue per WADA of each, you discover that the wealthy district is at $7206 vs. the poor district’s $5044. The difference allows the rich district to come out on top and hire more personnel or provide additional programs and services.
