Revenues and Spending of Michigan's Urban, Suburban, Town and Rural School Districts

By Michael Van Beek, published on June 1, 2011

In the passionate debates over providing equal educational opportunity for all children, it’s frequently argued that large financial inequities create challenges for many public schools, particularly those in lower-income urban areas. This study compares the revenues and operating expenditures of Michigan’s urban, suburban, town and rural school districts. The study’s findings provide a new and unique perspective on Michigan’s school districts.
