But if there were any real correlation between per student funding and the costs thereof, it shouldn't make a large difference. If it costs $100 dollars to educate 10 students (i.e., $10/student), and 1 student opts out, the school still gets $90 ($10/student).
I realize that this is extremely oversimplified and may still result in a funding deficit, but given the enormous fluff in per student spending, my bet is that there is plenty of room to spare.
