— Not available. Data are missing for American Samoa and Guam because they did not report student membership.
¹ Include instruction, instruction-related, support services, and other elementary/secondary current expenditures, but exclude expenditures on capital outlay, other programs, and interest on long-term debt.
² Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming indicated that prekindergarten programs were not included in the NPEFS data, so counts of these students were subtracted from the student membership data reported on the State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary Education for use on the NPEFS. The membership for Wisconsin was derived from the CCD School District Finance Survey.
³ Include current expenditures for classroom instruction (including teachers and teaching assistants), libraries, in-service teacher training, curriculum development, student assessment, and instruction technology.
⁴ Include attendance and social work, guidance, health, psychological services, speech pathology, audiology, and other student support services.
⁵ Include general administration, school administration, and other support services.
⁶ Include operations and maintenance, student transportation, food services, and enterprise operations.
⁷ U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
⁸ Value affected by redistribution of reported expenditure values to correct for missing data items, and/or to distribute state direct support expenditures.
⁹ Both the District of Columbia and Hawaii have only one school district each; therefore, neither is comparable to other states.
NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
