Other comment on education & links

Per pupil spending in inflation adjusted dollars has increased from $4,479 in 1971 to $8,996 in 2001 -- U.S. Department of Education

Not enough money? The 2006 Texas Special Session increased
public education spending by almost $1.5 billion.

Even when the state faced a $9.9 billion budget deficit in 2003, Texas increased funding for public education by $1.2 billion. During Rick Perry's tenure as Lieutenant Governor and Governor, funding for public education has grown by $7.1 billion - an increase of 26.5%. Growth in public school enrollment accounted for $3.25 billion (46%) of the funding, while the remaining $3.85 billion (54%) funded higher teacher salaries, improved classroom instruction, facilities and other school needs. For the 2002-2003, Texas schools received $10,400 per pupil. Total expenditures per pupil have increased by $1,900 or 24.7%, since the 1998-1999 school year.

Texas public schools spent $43.2 billion in the 2005-2006 school year. Per-student costs have almost doubled over the past 10 years, going from $5,282 per student in 1995-96 to $9,629 in 2005-06. Yet for all this money, test scores and student achievement have not seen great gains.  For every teacher working in a public school system, there is a non-teacher. (Only 312,922 of the 634,979 employees in public schools are teachers.)  The average Texas teacher made $46,178 in the 2007-08 school year. - source TPPF
