The number I quoted was the average expenditure per pupil by the Chester Upland School District. The numbers came directly from the state Department of Education.
Yes, Chester Upland schools are CHRONICALLY underfunded at the local level, but the gap in funding is made-up by the state. So much so that the spending per pupil in Chester-Upland is on par with other school districts in Delaware County.
I have family from Chester and it’s tragic what has happened to the city since so much of the industrial base and jobs left.
