In 2019, an average of $23,146 was spent per student at Warner Elementary and an average of $13,430 was spent per student at North Star Elementary. This is why strategic planning is necessary with increased funding. We need to address where and how money is being used to ensure students from different backgrounds have the chance to become successful, regardless of their current socio-economic status'. Additionally, we need to dig deep and properly identify the ways in which systemic racism and systemic marginalization of certain children hold them back despite funding. As long as systemic racism is prevalent in our system, no amount of money can truly solve the issue.
