² An expenditure function divided into seven subfunctions: student support services, instructional staff support, general administration, school administration, operations and maintenance, student transportation, and other support services.
³ Include attendance and social work, guidance, health, psychological services, speech pathology, audiology, and other student support services.
⁴ U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
