| * The superintendent would want me to point
out that in addition to the 3044 students enrolled in our classes, we
also provide services to 56 persons with special needs, we transport 71
students to private/parochial schools, we supervise 40 home schooling
students and we have 28 CPSE students. Per pupil costs are
typically calculated without reference to these categories, and I have
applied the traditional rule in my calculations. |
