Psssst! Calling all intrepid Globe and Chronicle reporters. Boy, do I have a hot lead for you!
Next time you see your pals at the Cambridge School Committee, you might ask them this:
According to figures from the Massachusetts Department of Education, Cambridge per pupil expenditure is $17,459! per annum (up from $9, 653 in 1999). The state wide average is $7,421.
Hey, but it gets better. While the number of students in Cambridge SHRUNK from 7, 702 in 1999 to 6,136 in 2005, total school expenditures rose from $86,870,720 to $107,695,697 in the same years.
And boys and girls, when you get some answers, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Cambridge Citizen
