Directly from the CMS website: CMS per pupil spending - $8,523

This is the average PPS - many schools spend MUCH more per pupil and the higher income schools - spend less.

I'm getting it from the CMS website. $2,500 is, as I said, COUNTY funding. The $8,523 includes ALL funding...state, federal, county, etc.

Gotcha! Sorry - I didn't catch the 'COUNTY' part.

Besides the lower cost of living (which is not necessarily the case because you have to have a car) and the nature, there isn't much here.

LOL. First of all, thats not what I said. Second, NYC has an city income tax. If you think its cheaper to live there, feel free to return. I'm guessing its not, and you won't.
