You will examine and analyze the budgets of a school district and that of a school within that district. In your examination, take into account the amount of money received by that chosen school, the instructional level of that building, and the per pupil expenditure received. With this in mind, prepare a 2-3 page position paper presenting three areas you agree or disagree with regarding that school’s funding. Be sure to support your position using concepts we have learned and/or by comparing it to other schools in that district.
-Identification of three positions (3 points)
-Rationale of these positions (7 points)
To help, the source you must use is listed here:

I am also giving you the school to look up:
Hillcrest High School (Q505) in District 28
If you are comparing the school to others please search for schools in District 28. The budgeting information for the school can be found under “data and reports” once you enter the school name.
The textbook for the class (if you need) is titled:
Financing Education in a Climate of Change by Vern Brimley Jr.
Please feel free to contact me if you need anything else explained/or if I can help clarify anything better: please make sure it is as close to 2 full pages as possible. Thank you and I really appreciate your help.
