So it's not apples to apples. When you add every other form of aid up, they're spending wildly more. Now, that might not be Shell Lake's case, but I'm saying There are districts that spend in the high 20,000 per kid when you add everything up. So back to your question. It's not apples to apples. And in school vouchers, it's a flat amount. It doesn't matter if that private school, it costs them 15,000 a kid, they're getting 13 for that high school student. (42:43–42:50)
