#Rounds to zero.
\1\Includes a relatively small amount from nongovernmental private sources (gifts and tu transportation fees from patrons). These sources accounted for 2.3 percent of total revenues in 2001-02.
\2\Revised from previously published figures.

NOTE: Beginning in 1980-81, revenues for state education agencies are excluded. Beginning in 1988-89, data reflect new survey collection procedures and may not be entirely comparable with figures for earlier years. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
