The local tax money Bulloch County spends annually per student in its 15 public schools varies from $1,087 at Brooklet Elementary School to $3,660 at Portal Middle High School, according to a chart seen by the Board of Education last week. These are not just differences between elementary, middle and high schools as such. Statesboro High School, by far the largest with a full-time equivalent, or FTE, count of 1,607 students, is one of the lower-funded schools per student, at $1,209 of local taxes per FTE. Southeast Bulloch High, receiving $1,368 from local taxes for each of its counted 702 students, is closer to the middle.
