³ Include attendance and social work, guidance, health, psychological services, speech pathology, audiology, and other student support services.
⁴ Include general administration, school administration, and other support services.
⁵ Include operations and maintenance, student transportation, food services, and enterprise operations.
⁶ U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
⁷ The prekindergarten student membership was imputed, affecting the total student count and per pupil expenditures calculation.
⁸ Value affected by redistribution of reported expenditure values to correct for missing data items, and/or to distribute state direct support expenditures.
