The Beaver Dam, Wisconsin School District embraces direct mail with a glossy postcard:

Beaver Dam’s 2015-2016 budget information is available here (PDF). I could not quickly find the District’s current enrollment on their website, but NCES posted their 2013-2014 data: 3,642.

It appears that Beaver Dam plans to spend roughly $36,866,065.77 during the 2015-2016 school year. That’s about $10,122 per student.

Madison plans to spend more than $17,000 per student during the same period or 68% more…..

Madison’s long term, far above average spending has not addressed it’s long term, disastrous reading results.
