That's 54 percent of the eligible schools, which include all high schools, junior highs or middle schools in the state that serve students in grades 9 through 12. With an annual cost of $2,111,655 and 182 schools participating, the state's cost per school next year will be $11,603/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
