You say they have a budget of $1B for a population of 200k? How many of those are kids in school? 50k? Not sure, something around that I'd guess. The problem the city has is the problem lots of failing school systems have. They see terrible performance from kids and assume more money can fix it, as if throwing fresh 2X4's at a house fire is going to stave off destruction of the house.
Anybody who has two nickles to rub together leaves, or never goes there to begin with.
