K thru 12 Education
K-12 School Spending and Attendance


PER-PUPIL SPENDING
 Total per-pupil expenditures from all sources are projected to be $11,935 in 2007-08 and $11,626 in 2008-09, including funds provided for prior year settle-up obligations (see Figure K12-01).

Figure K12-02 displays the revenue sources for schools.


HOW SCHOOLS SPEND THEIR MONEY
 Figure K12-03 displays expenditures reported by schools from their general funds, the various categories of expenditure and the share of total funding for each category.


ATTENDANCE
 As a result of a steady decline in birth rates throughout the 1990s, attendance growth in public schools is declining (see Figure K12-04). For the 2007-08, K-12 average daily attendance (ADA) is estimated to be 5,923,000, a decrease of 29,000 from the 2006-07 fiscal year. For 2008-09, the Administration estimates K-12 ADA will decrease by an additional 31,000 to 5,892,000.
