To the Editor:
In readingTom Tallon’s letter (“School Funding Tricks,” 6/21), I was amazed that he apparently sees no inequity in the funding formula for the Southern Regional School District. He writes: “The cost per pupil is the cost per pupil, period. A student from Ship Bottom costs the district the same as a student from Stafford.” On that, I would agree with him.
However, he goes on to write: “It is only when a statistical sleight of hand is applied that the illusion of inequities appears.” Really?
