Yes, there is an “average”, but some students, some classes, some programs cost much more to operate than others. The current system provides equal opportunity for students to participate in all programs regardless of ability to pay. What happens when a student wants to take more expensive programs and runs out of money? Who picks up the cost for more expensive special education or gifted students when students following a “less expensive” track take their extra money with them to college? Right now those things all balance out within the school district budget.
