1 Total expenditures do not include payments to other school districts and payments to private schools and charter schools.
2 Total current expenditures include instruction, instruction-related, support services, and other elementary/secondary current expenditures, but exclude expenditures on capital outlay, other programs and payments to state and local governments, interest on long-term debt, payments to other school districts, and payments to private and charter schools.
3 Capital outlay expenditures are those for school construction, property, and equipment.
4 Other programs include community services, adult education, and community colleges.
5 The District of Columbia and Hawaii consist of only one school district each.
6 All associated schools are charter schools.
NOTE: How to read this table: Using Alabama, total expenditures as an example, if all school districts were listed by size of total expenditures per pupil, the district at the midpoint (median) would have total expenditures per pupil of $7,625. National figures do not include independent charter school districts. National and state figures include charter schools that are affiliated with regular school districts. Only regular school districts matching the Common Core of Data (CCD) "Local Education Agency Universe Survey" and with student membership greater than zero were used in creating the national and state figures; 92.1 percent of school districts met this criterion. Independent charter school districts with revenues greater than zero and expenditures greater than zero were included in the charter school analysis; 96.8 percent of charter school districts met this criterion.
