  State funding of $888 per student in the program -- roughly $18,000 per classroom -- falls far short of the teacher, work space, equipment and operating costs in most districts, according to Bob Blattner of School Services of California, which provides fiscal services to districts statewide.
  
  The gap between costs and reimbursement, once narrow, has exploded the past four years.Teacher benefits and salaries -- excluding raises based on experience -- have increased approximately 25 percent statewide while funding for class-size reduction has risen by about 9.6 percent, Blattner said.
