Mostly a local issue. It would suggest that Interlakes voters are more free with the purse than Belmont. The numbers do show that a bit. Belmont spent $18,442 per student to rank 41 out of 85, while Interlakes spent $26,510 per student to rank 43 out of 85 (at the high school level).
You did out rank us the year before coming in at 17 out of 85, compared to 28 out of 85.
It may be possible that it cost more for teachers and staff at Interlakes.
But that data should be available somewhere publicly.
I'm unaware of any dramatic new services that Meredith has added since I was born in the 60s.
