Read from the town’s budget and official records.

Corning’s K–12 school district, shared with Big Lake, Craig, Fortescue. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $35,333 per pupil, $17,510 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
