Summary

In November 2017, a Beaver Island forum thread scrutinized the Community School’s reported per-pupil expenditure, enrollment, staffing, salaries, and tax burden. The initiating post cited a Munetrix-linked FY2016 calculation of $52,834 per pupil; participants disputed or contextualized parts of the discussion.

Evidence limits

This is a record of public fiscal scrutiny, not an audited finding that the school spent a particular amount per pupil. The cited figures should be checked against district budgets, audited statements, enrollment records, and state reporting before use as quantitative facts.

Sources

  1. A participant cited Munetrix-linked FY2016 figures and calculated $52,834 per pupil from reported general-fund expenditures and enrollment. Replies supplied conflicting salary, enrollment, and comparison figures. The forum does not independently verify that the quoted figures describe the same fiscal or staffing year.
