TARGET: Funding formulas for middle school libraries

[Zoe Magnus <zmagnus@SUMMER.COM>]

A district administrator has asked me for either the "average" cost of a
book in a middle school library, or a funding formula to determine the book
budget in a middle school library based on the number of students.  As a
district resource centre, I don't have a quick answer.  I have tried the
archives using the following terms: school library funding, budget per
capita, funding formula.  Lots of articles, but no specific information.
This information is needed in the next hour.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
