Green Lane’s K–12 school district, shared with East Greenville, Hereford Township, Marlborough Township, Pennsburg, Red Hill and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $19,234 per pupil, $11,493 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.
