§ 41800 High School District Funding

Key Takeaways

  • •High schools get $120 for each student who shows up every day on average.
  • •Every high school gets at least $2,400, even if they have very few students.
  • •Adults in school and people in jail don’t count for this money.

Example

A small high school has only 15 students who come every day.

Even though 15 students times $120 would be $1,800, the school still gets $2,400 because that’s the minimum amount.
