70%, or 1.23 billion, of the 1.75 billion in total revenue generated across all districts in 2023-2024 was done so at the local level and the remaining 30% of revenue was mostly taken in via state, with a little bit of federal as well.
The only districts who spent more per student than they brought in were Bensalem Township, Bristol Borough, and Neshaminy. Whereas New Hope- Solebury, the richest district by far, is able to fund 85% of their total expenditures via local revenue but still needs over 8 million in aid from the state to fully finance their expenditures. Bristol Brough, the district that ran the biggest deficit in 2023 and 2024, is only able to finance 41% of their total expenditures via local revenue and then the balance comes from state and federal aid.
Lmao you sound like a crusty teacher who got fired for throwing tantrums at 14-year-olds, and now you’re in the comments acting like you’re still on payroll, grading everyone’s lives with that expired coffee breath
