Can you find me a public school district with a trend of getting fewer dollars year after year? Because I have not been able to. In my own district they complain of budget cuts, but the budget has increased every year since the district was formed, usually by 3-7% per year. The problem is that a significant amount of the new money every year goes to raises for administrators, more curriculum coordinators, more travel, more workshops, and while those things are increasing the level of instruction, the depth of the curriculum, and the overall quality of education and academic achievement has fallen through the floor.
