LANSING, Mich. (AP) — No state has squeezed school spending more in recent decades than Michigan, education researchers said Wednesday in a study that attributes the tightening to tax cuts and notes a corresponding drop in student achievement.

When adjusted for inflation, the state’s total education revenue in 2015 was 82 percent of what it was in 1995 — shortly after voters passed a law that lowered property taxes, boosted the state sales tax and narrowed funding inequities across K-12 districts. The overhaul largely shifted the power to fund schools from local communities to the state government.

“No other state is close to a decline of this magnitude,” according to the report written by Michigan State University professor David Arsen and two doctoral students at the university’s College of Education.

Michigan’s per-pupil spending declined by 15 percent over the same 20-year period when modified for inflation, which ranked 48th among 50 states.

How bad is Betsy DeVos?

Even (R)eliable Trump apologist CuckAsianCaucasian BB has disowned her.

Can someone point to a study correlating student achievement to per-pupil spending. I seem to recall pretty hefty spending on a per-pupil basis in D.C. with a lot of high school students reading at a third grade level.
