Pa- cific Grove Unified is a basic aid district: Local tax receipts are higher than the state’s revenue limit. But there are unfunded mandates and enrollment is creeping upward, officials maintain, so every dollar is important. Locally, property values have increased, largely buoyed by homes in Pebble Beach. But property values in Pacific Grove have remained static or even dropped. Pacific Grove Unified School District spent $12,647 per student in the 2009-2010 school year ($22.0 million total for 1,743.30 students), compared to median spending of $8,234 statewide. Spending regionally shows that Carmel Unified spent $17,451 per students and Monterey Peninsula Unified spent $8,008 per student in 2009-2010. Resultant API scores are comparatively higher: Scores for Pacific Grove were 877, with the median being 783.

"Polling did come up [at meet­ ings]," Menchaca said,"but it never happened." The issue of whether or not to keep AS Express was shared with the ASUSF senate, "but not the student body," he said.
