Description

According to one comparison by the state auditor of public accounts, Norfolk spends 43 percent of its budget on education, the lowest of the seven largest cities in the region. But according to the state Superintendent's Annual Report for Virginia, the per-pupil expenditure for Norfolk students in fiscal year 2010 was $11,324. That total, which included city, state and federal funding, was the highest among those cities. Since both comparisons are mathematically correct, the question becomes an exercise in clashing points of view on which measure best portrays a commitment to education.
