Detroit Schools got the greatest amount of Covid aid of any school system in Michigan. Not only that it got the greatest amount of Federal Covid aid of any large school system in the United States - more than $25,000 per student.
Detroit also gets as of 2018-2019 data (good luck finding more recent info) at least $15,891 per student in funding.
The result: The Detroit News: Dumas: Half of Detroiters illiterate? We need action
Detroit is the eighth highest spending school district per pupil in the entire United States, and it still has the worst outcomes.
Expect the action demanded to be to throw even more money at the problem, even as throwing tons of money at the Detroit Public Schools for decades now has not increased the school system's performance..
Because the doing the same thing time after time and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. But, it is a very profitable insanity for the teacher's union, the school administrators, and the Democrat party that gets donations and activists in return for the funding.

Then figure in that 25% of the students don't show up on any given day.
That works out to about $300/pupil per day
