[Mpls] Clarification on school spending....

[Bill Cullen]

In Sunday's Oped articles about the financial crisis in the Mpls school
district, they stated confusing numbers.

The articles claimed that Mpls school district spent $10,348 per student.
But, they also said the district was a $630M district with 40,000 students.
The later numbers translate into a cost of $15,750 per student.  Can someone
clarify? What are the right numbers?  Why the confusion?
