It's around $ 9500 here, and $ 14,000 for special ed. I've read that in some jurisdiction here it's costing $ 18,000 for special ed.

Detroit Public Schools officials have fired three more school employees in an ongoing investigation of missing and embezzled money in the city's schools. A dozen audits released by the district late Wednesday showed it fired office personnel at Kosciusko, Grant and Courville elementary schools amid questions about missing school funds. A bookkeeper at Barbour Magnet Middle School was released for job abandonment, a school official said. All cases will be turned over to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office for further investigation, said Virgil Lobring, the school district's chief of staff. "We still have 216 school audits to complete. We'll release them as we get them done," he said. The audits eventually will include every Detroit public school, the first time the schools have been audited in more than 10 years. Audits of Detroit's 29 high schools, released last month, found hundreds of thousands of dollars missing, incorrectly recorded or misspent. One bookkeeper pleaded guilty to embezzlement and two others are facing criminal charges. Two principals were fired.
