Haas Hall Academy dedicated to providing its scholars with the finest, accelerated college preparatory education. Haas Hall Academy receives the state minimum foundation aid per child—but does not receive any additional monies from local millages. Open-enrollment charter schools, like Haas Hall Academy, do not receive funds for facilities or transportation. Nationally, on average, charter schools are receiving 40 percent less funding than conventional public schools.
Charter schools are public schools and
should receive the same types and amounts of funding as conventional
district schools—but we do not. In northwest Arkansas the
discrepancy in funding is substantial.
In 2007.2008, both traditional public
schools and public charter schools in
our state received $5,681.00 in per pupil foundation aid.
Traditional public schools, however, also received millage funds.
The difference in funding is as follows:
Bentonville Public School District, $8,084.00 (+42%) Rogers Public School District, $7,820.00 (+38%) Springdale Public School District, $7,708.00 (+36%) Source: The Morning News
