Collins' point is simple. The amount the school district gets from property tax assessments is increasing. Meanwhile, enrollment is declining. The district has fewer kids to educate. Collins says that 10 years ago, the district's total funding was about $16,000 a student. This year, that number is more than double - $35,000 per student. If current trends continue, in three years it will be $43,000, and in five years, it will reach almost $50,000.
