Do other countries use student busing? If not, are they considering that impact into their public transportation?
Do other counties have school meal programs?
Do other countries factor out athletics into its own separate budget?
what’s the average age of a public school?
Is sexual education separated into health budgets?
Physical Plants just cost more in America than most places, as we contract out both the design and construction and sometimes even the planning/permitting. Are these costs being factored in?
Are the average class sizes per teacher similar?
Are special needs costs factored in?
