| Year | Beginning Balance | Income | Expenses | Ending Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | $865 | $5,894 | $4,831 | $1,063 |
PTA income primarily reflects parent wealth, not school quality. Some schools have very active PTAs while others raise very little.
Discipline (Suspensions)
| Year | Removals | Principal Susp. | Supt. Susp. | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-25 | Redacted | 23 | Redacted | Redacted |

| 2022-23 | Redacted | 29 | Redacted | 31 |
"Redacted" indicates small counts (1-5) suppressed for privacy. Suspension data reflects systemic patterns as much as individual school decisions. Always consider ENI context.
