New York spends 90 percent more than the national average per pupil to educate public school students, though newly re-elected Gov. Andrew Cuomo acknowledges “right now we have no idea where the money is going.â€
Average spending per pupil in New York topped $22,000 in 2016, according to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Monday.
The figure dwarfs other eastern states that also top the list, including the District of Columbia, Connecticut, New Jersey and Vermont, none of which broke $20,000 per pupil, the Democrat & Chronicle reports.
