KUTV: More Utah Taxpayer Money Going To Kids' Educations

Public spending on Utah's students increased by nearly 10 percent last year, officials said.

According to the Utah Taxpayers Association, spending increased from $6,529 per student in 2006 to $7,009 per student in 2007 -- a 7.3 percent increase. Officials credit the Utah Legislature with the increase, since they have allocated more public funds to the state's education system.

Operations expenditures also increased during the same period from $5,126 to $5,348 -- a 4.3 percent increase.

The report, which includes students between kindergarten and 12th grade, predicted that per-student spending would reach $7,500 by the 2008 fiscal year.

Here's the Taxpayers Association report.

These guys have a lot of nerve letting people know how much and where school districts are spending.

Instead of producing this report, why don't they volunteer at their local school instead?
