School Finance: Statistical Comparisons

FY94 Per Pupil Expenditures

Regular Day Programs

In most districts, pupils are concentrated in the regular day program where they receive a general course of instruction. Average expenditures are reported for each district operating this program. Also published are per pupil costs for the kindergarten, elementary, junior or middle school and senior high school programs. Because of the different organizational structures, the grade levels for each school district are printed next to the per pupil expenditure to make comparisons easier.

The 1993-1994 statewide average per pupil expenditure for Regular Day Programs is $4,369
