When it comes to public education, no state spends more than New York.

A recent analysis by Governing shows New York spends more than $20,000 per student each year, factoring in things such as teacher salaries, support services and other costs associated with public education. That spending is more than twice that of Utah - which came in last in per pupil funding - at $6,300 per student.

Governing's analysis shows Alabama spends an average of $9,028 per pupil each year. While that spending can vary widely by district depending on local dollars devoted to education, the analysis shows us a general breakdown of how that money is spent.

Here's how that $9,028 pupil breaks down:

$3,359 for instructional employee salaries

$1,234 for instructional employee benefits

$560 for school administration

$526 for pupil support

$387 for instructional staff support

$235 for general administration

$2,727 for "other" including capital outlay and transportation

The national spending average per student is $11,009.

Here's how that breaks down:

$4,378 for instructional employee salaries

$1,691 for instructional employee benefits

$607 for school administration

$619 for pupil support

$535 for instructional staff support

$183 for general administration

$2995 for "other" including capital outlay and transportation

Welcome to Monday's Wake Up Call. Let's see what's going on:

Congressman's 83-year-old father going to prison

The 83-year old father of a California Congressman is headed to jail for violating campaign finance laws.

Babulal Bera, father of Rep. Ami Bera, D-Calif., was sentenced to one year and one day in jail. Bera was convicted as part of a scheme to have donors from across the country contribute more than $200,000 to the 2010 and 2012 campaigns of his son and then be reimbursed by the father.

The donations violated the law that was then in place that limits donors from giving more than $2,400 to a campaign. Prosecutors said the son was unaware of his father's dealings.

Ami Bera is currently seeking reelection to the represent the Sacramento area.

T Rex scull found in Montana

U.S. paleontologists have unearthed a 66 million year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex skull in the rocky hills of Montana.

The skull is believed to have come from a creature about 20 feet tall and up to 40 feet long. The boulder with the bone weighs some 2,500 pounds and is currently at the University of Washington's Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.

The T. Rex is now nicknamed the "Tufts-Love Rex" for Luke Tufts and Jason Love, the two paleontologists who discovered the skull.

Army deserter fakes war wounds, receives benefits

A North Carolina man is facing federal charges for allegedly faking war wounds in order to receive tens of thousands of dollars in benefits.

Later investigation showed Ross did not serve in Korea or Vietnam and was not in the Special Forces.

40 knives removed from man's stomach

Until tomorrow.
