Outgoing MPS board president didn t accurately portray dispute

Miller criticizes MCP for not providing busing. MPS receives state transportation funding but does not share or distribute any of it to MCP or any of its charter schools.  Miller states, “Misleading data and fuzzy math were used by Schlifske when he claimed that ‘MPS operates on per-pupil funding of $14,568.’ This is simply not true. The actual number is much less. Opponents of public education arrive at that figure by dividing the total budget of MPS by the number of students.”  MPS is projecting an enrollment of just over 71,000 students (which includes 7,500 MPS Charter school students) next year and an overall budget of $1.3B. Dividing that total budget by the number of students yields an annual sum of more than $18,000 per-pupil, not $14,568, as Miller implies.
