I already gave you the link to the test scores since 1970, etc.  Buildings and big equipment purchases do not come out of the annual budget - those are (in WA) paid for by levy measures through property taxes.  Microsoft and Apple have given schools many of the computers they use as well as software.  And, every district needs "new offices."  None I ever worked in!

Also, here is link for new fast food prices:  http://dailysignal.com/2017/02/17/in-1-chart-what-your-favorite-fast-food-items-would-cost-with-15-minimum-wage/

Obviously, "Think Progress" a progressive, left website minimizes the new prices and Daily Signal will probably maximize the new prices, so put the new prices in between and the net effect, is PRICES HAVE GONE UP!  DUH!

When I taught in the 1970's none of the states or districts I taught in had free bkfst.  In fact, there were barely in "free" lunches either!  My students then could walk circles around most students today as far as academic achievement.
