Here in the East Bay (San Fran Area), the charter school my kids attend gets ~$1300 less per student. So every student that moves from a non-charter to a charter frees up ~$1300 to be used another way by the district (or at least reduces the financial burden of the district if it is already almost destitute). So I wonder... if all those ~1200 charter students were attending the non-charter schools in the district, what happens to that ~$1.5 Million gap? I don't imagine that the school district just has an extra $1.5M sitting around to cover the difference. So does it spread that cut around so now all public schools get less per student? It seems to me that the charter school is saving money not sucking it out. Even if they are only as good as the non-charter schools, they would be doing the same job for less money.
