simple!  You don't even have to use the same inputs for the different boxes.

As Mr. Hoffmann alluded, public schools provide social services like food, 
daycare, before/after school programs, security guards, etc.

We could assume the local private schools spend nothing on social services. 
Given an MSD budget, is it possible to differentiate between social service and 
education costs? 

When we ask why public education costs what it does, I'd like a better answer 
than: "It's complex. Vote yes on Tuesday."

And it's a good reminder that one should always have a drink nearby when 
reading Vision2020.
