States face different challenges and make different choices when it comes to their education spending, all of which are ultimately reflected at the schoolhouse level. As part of the Quality Counts 2018: Finance package, 澳门跑狗论坛 visited two very different schools: a high school in Shoshoni, Wyo., that has tech capabilities in every room, in a state that has put a big premium on classroom connectivity; and a K-8 school in a rural corner of Vermont that has an enrollment of just 75 students and doubles as the site for the town offices and library.
