From the Paper:

"While to most it seems obvious that increased funding to poor schools would positively affect student scholastic achievement, others argue that the problem with public schools does not lie only with the amount of money that schools receive but the structure of the curriculum in public schools. However, an article found in the journal American Economist reveals the results of a study conducted in Pennsylvania schools, which suggests that the amount of money spent on each student was correlated with scholastic achievement (Klick)."
