Abstract
As the legal and political battle over property taxes heats up, the underlying assumption that increased spending will improve the quality of Colorado’s public schools is not being addressed.
Public schools in this country currently spend more than twice as much money per student as private schools. Yet many parents are willing to dig deeply for the privilege of sending their children to private schools where far fewer resources are expended on them.
