District Finances:
Average spending per student in this district, based on financial data collected in the audited Annual Financial Report. ISBE calculates instructional spending and operational spending and divides both by the district’s student count. Instructional Spending Per Student includes only the activities directly dealing with the teaching of students or the interaction between teachers and students. Operational Spending Per Student includes nearly all costs for overall operations in this school’s district, including Instructional Spending. Learn More
Only certain expenditures like summer school, adult education, capital expenditures (facilities, property, and major equipment purchases) and long-term debt payments are excluded from the Operational Spending Per Student reported here, as explained at https://www.isbe.net/Pages/Operating-Expense-Per-Pupil.aspx. (Operational Spending Per Student is also known as Operating Expense Per Pupil). The student count used for these per-student calculations is the nine-month average daily attendance.
This district finance data set is best suited for comparisons between districts and does not reflect the most recent fiscal year.
