— Not available. In fiscal year 2009, the District of Columbia omitted some local revenues and expenditures from the District of Columbia city government that would normally be included within the finances of District of Columbia public schools.
† Not applicable.
¹ Funds spent operating local public schools and local education agencies, including such expenses as salaries for school personnel, student transportation, school books and materials, and energy costs, but excluding capital outlay, interest on school debt, payments to private schools, and payments to public charter schools.
² Data have been adjusted to fiscal year 2010 dollars to account for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is published by the U.S. Labor Department, Bureau of Labor Statistics. This price index measures the average change in inflation of a fixed market basket of goods and services purchased by consumers. For additional information about inflation-adjusted data, please refer to Appendix A.
³ Both the District of Columbia and Hawaii have only one school district each.
NOTE: How to read this table: Using Alabama as an example, if all regular school districts were listed by size of total revenues per pupil, the district at the midpoint (median) in 2009 would have total revenues per pupil of $9,421 (in 2010 dollars). Regular school districts may operate charter schools in addition to noncharter schools. 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; 81.1 percent of all school districts met these criteria.
