NYC spends less per child (Regular children) than almost any other district in the state
NYC spends about $7500 per child (non special ed) , Most NYC special Ed children are educated in the NYC public schools so they can merge those costs in and still pay less money than other districts in the state.
The amount of frum parents who seek re-imbursement is lower than outside the city as Bloomberg started to fight the cases and regardless of his statements, He has acted differnetly DiBlasio has maintained that policy so you have to fight hard against a school district that is opposed to jewish education in a secular school board (Unlike say East Ramapo)
