So lets take your argument to the extreme and fund a 1000 person school with 1 dollar. Would adding some more dollars to the budget help? Yes, because at some point you can afford to turn on the lights, and if you keep adding money you can afford to hire a teacher. More realistically, more money can do things like fund free meals for needy kids so they don't have to go to class hungry. It can reduce class sizes, replace textbooks, put more books in the library, and add gifted/special ed programs. There are certainly useful things the money can be spent on.
At the other extreme, if we gave schools unlimited funding, you could afford to hire a teacher for every student in the school. Would that help learning outcomes? Probably. There is a huge space in the middle where admins eat up cash, sports teams eat up cash, for sure. But to say that "more money doesn't get better results" doesn't make any sense.
