Public school funding per child increased 33% from 1995-2015.

EDIT: This does appear to be inflation adjusted. Here’s a federal source which is definitely inflation adjusted showing funding increasing in real terms by 27% from 1995-2013. [2]

If it had been tracking inflation, it would have increased 55% in that time [0]

That's a 14% decrease adjusted for inflation.
