Per pupil expenditure amounts, while informative, provide an incomplete framework in which to understand statewide, district, or school expenditure levels. A wide range of per pupil expenditure values exist as the result of a multitude of district and school differences statewide. Some of these differences include enrollment, geography, salary schedules, teacher tenure, programming, additionally funded programs, local coding practices, and additional revenue sources. Examples of revenue variances may include local, state, or federal grants and payments (e.g., Early Literacy Implementation, Title funding, Perkins funding, and National School Lunch Program); local tax levies (e.g., Cash Reserve Levy, Physical Plant & Equipment Levy, and Management Fund Levy); transportation fees or equity payments; enterprise operations (e.g., construction program); funding for specially funded programs (e.g., special education and English Language Learners); operational sharing; tax payments (e.g., property tax payments); enrollment make-up (e.g., tuition-in or tuition-out students); student activity program; and donations from private sources.
