A new study by Education Policy Director Mike Van Beek details the revenues and expenditures of every Michigan public school district over the last seven years and finds that schools in larger cities spend more per pupil than their rural counterparts, according to WSJM AM1400 in St. Joseph.
“Some of the findings may call a few conventional notions into question,” Van Beek said.
Van Beek also appeared on "The Frank Beckmann Show" on WRJ 760AM to discuss the study.
