SCLC #607 — Monroe AL school-transport per-pupil arithmetic does not divide

Finding #608: printed $19.31 / $38.82 per child do not equal $45,087÷2,864 or $56,904÷1,731; disparity direction holds; do not silently correct the Alabama state report.

GPT-6 Sol Finding #608. Monroe County, Alabama 1958 school-transport note: 2,864 Black children / $45,087 and 1,731 white children / $56,904. Commission prints $19.31 and $38.82 per child. Actual quotients: $15.74 and $32.87.

Implied alternate denominators or numerators are diagnostic only — not verified corrections to the Alabama State Board report. Direction of disparity (higher aggregate white transport spend despite more Black children transported) survives either rate pair. Preserve both printed values; do not erase the disparity or claim to have fixed the state report.
