Public Education Finances: 2014


U.S. Census Bureau

INTRODUCTION
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts the Census of Governments
and the Annual Surveys of State and Local Government
Finances as authorized by law under Title 13, U.S. Code,
Sections 161 and 182. The Census of Governments has been
conducted every 5 years since 1957, while the annual survey
has been conducted annually since 1977 in years when
the Census of Governments is not conducted. The 2014
Annual Survey of School System Finances, similar to previous
annual surveys and censuses of governments, covers the
entire range of government finance activitiesrevenue,
expenditure, debt, and assets (cash and security holdings).
This report contains financial statistics relating to public
elementary-secondary prekindergarten through grade
12 education. It includes national and state financial
aggregates and displays data for the 100 largest school
systems by enrollment in the United States.

ORGANIZATION OF THIS REPORT


This introductory text describes the scope, general
concepts, survey methodology, and limitations of the data.
It also identifies other Census Bureau products that contain
public education data.
The tabular section contains 20 tables. Summaries, as well
as state-level detail, are presented in Tables 1 through 10.
Table 1 contains data for all major financial categories for
public school systems. Revenue summaries and supporting
detail are shown in Tables 2 through 5, expenditure in
Tables 6 through 9, and indebtedness in Table 10.
State rankings based on revenue and expenditure per pupil
appear in Table 11. State rankings based on the relation
of revenue and expenditure to state personal income (as
reported in the Bureau of Economic Analysis 2013 Survey
of Current Business) are shown in Table 12. National
summaries and enrollment size-group data for elementarysecondary education systems appear in Tables 13 and 14.
Finance data for the 100 largest school systems by
enrollment in the United States are displayed in Tables 15
through 18. Data are presented in thousands of dollars in
Tables 15 and 16 for revenue and expenditure items. Table
17 displays percentage distributions of federal, state, and
local revenue for these same school systems. Per pupil
expenditure data appear in Table 18. Supplementary data
on state-level populations, enrollments, and personal
income are shown in Table 19. Per pupil current spending
amounts and percentage change for fiscal years 20092014
are shown in Table 20.

Public Education Finances: 2014


U.S. Census Bureau

SCOPE
This 2014 report presents data on the financial activity of
public elementary and secondary school systems. Related
data on public school system employment are available in
the Census Bureaus Annual Survey of Public Employment and
PayrollSchool Systems. Information for higher and other
education systems can be found in separate annual and
Census of Governments reports that focus on the finances
of states, counties, cities and towns, and government
finances in general. The universe consists of 15,078 public
school systems (as counted for the 20132014 survey
cycle in a September 2015 listing of school systems in the
Governments Integrated Directory).

GENERAL CONCEPTS
Refer to Appendix A, Definitions of Selected Terms, for
descriptions of the items appearing in this report and on
the data collection instrument.
Public School Systems
The term public school systems, as used for this
report, includes two types of government entities with
responsibility for providing education services: (1) school
districts that are administratively and fiscally independent
of any other government and are counted as separate
governments; and (2) public school systems that lack
sufficient autonomy to be counted as separate governments
and are classified as a dependent agency of some other
governmenta county, municipal, township, or state
government.
Most public school systems included in this report operate
to provide regular, special, and/or vocational programs
for children in prekindergarten through grade 12. Some
systems, known as nonoperating districts, only exist
to collect tax revenue, which they then transfer to other
school systems that actually provide the education
services. This report also includes educational service
agencies. These agencies typically provide regional special
education services, vocational education programs, or
financial services for member districts. They are classified
as joint educational service agencies of the participating
districts and are not counted as separate governments.
Charter Schools
In recent years, many states have passed legislation
authorizing the formation of charter schools. While
each states charter school provisions are unique, there
are some common characteristics. In general, a charter
constitutes a contract between a governmental body (the

governmental body would be considered the chartering


or sponsoring entity) and an operator entity that is
responsible for delivering the education services.
In Census Bureau government finance statistics, only
charter schools whose charters are held by operators
that are governmental bodies are considered to be in
scope. For example, if a city or county obtains a charter to
operate a school from a sponsoring local school district,
the finances of the resulting charter school are included
in Census Bureau education finance statistics (and thus
are included in this report). The finances for these charter
schools are often included within the finances of the
sponsoring school district.
Charter schools whose charters are held by operators that
are not governmental are considered to be out of scope
for the purposes of Census Bureau government finance
statistics. In these cases, school district payments to
charter schools are included (within the expenditures of
the paying school district), but the finances of the charter
schools themselves are excluded from the statistics (and
thus are excluded from this report).
Current Dollars
The statistics in this report are presented in current dollars.
They have not been adjusted for price and wage changes
occurring through the years.
Fiscal Years
With the exception of school systems in Alabama, the District
of Columbia, Nebraska, Texas, and Washington, the 2014
fiscal year for school systems in all states began on July 1,
2013, and ended on June 30, 2014. The fiscal year for school
systems in Alabama and the District of Columbia ran from
October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014. The fiscal
year for school systems in Nebraska, Texas, and Washington
ran from September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014.
Survey data are not adjusted to conform school systems to a
uniform fiscal year.
Elementary-Secondary Education
This report covers financial activity for the operation and
support of public school systems providing elementary
and/or secondary programs. These activities include the
instruction of prekindergarten through grade 12 children,
as well as support activities, such as guidance counseling,
administration, transportation, plant operation and
maintenance, and food services.
Public school systems also offer nonelementary-secondary
programs. Adult education and community services are two
types of programs operated in many public school systems
that are not related to the education of prekindergarten
through grade 12 children. Expenditures for these types
of programs are excluded from the per pupil amounts
for current spending in Tables 8, 11, 14, 18, and 20.
Expenditures made by public school systems for these
vi

U.S. Census Bureau

nonelementary-secondary programs continue to be included


in the expenditure data presented in the other tables.
Educational Revenue From Federal, State, and
Local Sources
In this report, the tables containing revenue data refer to
revenue from federal, state, and local government sources.
Revenue from federal sources includes monies passed
through state governments, as well as federal outlays
directly received. Revenue from state sources consists
only of amounts originating from state governments.
Revenue from local sources is comprised of revenue
raised locallyincluding taxes, charges, and miscellaneous
revenues. These terms and corresponding methodology are
different from the Census of Governments taxonomy for
intergovernmental revenue.
For the Census of Governments and the corresponding
annual surveys, intergovernmental revenue comprises
monies from other governments, including grants, shared
taxes, and contingent loans and advances for support of
particular functions. It also comprises monies for general
financial support, such as any significant and identifiable
amounts received as reimbursement for performance of
governmental services for other governments and any
other form of revenue representing the sharing by other
governments in the financing of activities administered by
the receiving government. All intergovernmental revenue
is reported in the general government sector, even if it
is used to support activities in other sectors (such as
utilities). Intergovernmental revenue excludes amounts
received from the sale of property, commodities, and
utility services to other governments (which are reported
in different revenue categories). It also excludes amounts
received from other governments as the employer share
or for support of public-employee retirement or other
insurance trust funds of the recipient government, which
are treated as insurance trust revenue.
Intergovernmental revenue is classified by function and by
the level of government where it originated (i.e., federal,
state, or local). The transfer of federal aid that is passedthrough the state government to local governments is
reported as state intergovernmental revenue at the local
level, rather than direct federal intergovernmental revenue.
Revenue from city and county governments is included in
both the individual and state totals tables that reference
revenue from local sources. Revenue from other school
systems, however, is only included in the individual unit
tables. These amounts are excluded in the state totals data
to avoid double counting.
Tax Revenue of Dependent School Systems
Dependent school systems receive most of their local
revenue from appropriations by their parent government.
Although most of these monies come from property tax
collections, the exact amounts derived from taxes or other
revenue sources available to parent governments for their
Public Education Finances: 2014

school systems frequently cannot be determined from


state education agency accounting records. Therefore,
these revenue amounts are shown as parent government
contributions instead of property taxes or other taxes
in the tabulations.
Current Operation and Current Spending
Current operation, a standard Census Bureau expenditure
category, consists of payments for salaries, employee
benefits (including local school system employer
contributions to state government retirement funds),
purchased services, and supplies.
The Census Bureau introduced the concept of current
spending in the 1987 Census of Governments. This
concept, which is used only in the public school system
finance reports, allows for the inclusion of all public
elementary-secondary outlays, regardless of the specific unit
of government that actually makes the expenditure. Current
spending is not presented in other Census Bureau tabular
presentations because its inclusion with expenditures
made at other levels of government would lead to double
counting. As such, current spending as presented here
should not be confused with current operations used in
the Census of Governments or its related annual surveys
of state and local governments. In the latter case, current
operations refers to direct expenditure for compensation
of own officers and employees and for supplies, materials,
and contractual services, except any amounts for capital
outlay (i.e., for personal services or other objects used in
contract construction or government-employee construction
of permanent structures and for acquisition of property and
equipment).
In these data, payments to other public school systems
are a component of current spending and are reported
at the individual unit level only. These expenditures are
excluded from the state totals tables to avoid double
counting. Payments to other governments (e.g., cities,
counties, and states) are included in both individual and
state totals displays. This is distinct from the Census of
Governments classification methodology and terminology
in that payments to other school systems are considered
intergovernmental expenditures and thus distinct from
current operations. For further information on Census of
Governments, specific classification, and definitions, see
the Government Finance and Employment Classification
Manual, found on the Census Bureaus Web site at:
<www2.census.gov/govs/pubs/classification/2006
_classification_manual.pdf>.
Instruction Expenditure
This item relates to the instruction function (Function
1000) defined in the National Center for Education

Public Education Finances: 2014


U.S. Census Bureau

Statistics (NCES) publication, Financial Accounting for


Local and State School Systems: 2009 Edition. Instruction
expenditure covers expenditures for regular, special, and
vocational programs offered in both the regular school
year and summer school. It excludes instructional support,
student support, and other support activities, as well
as adult education, community services, and student
enterprise activities.
Since not all states prescribe the use of the above financial
accounting handbook and its definition of instruction for
their school systems, some interstate disparities exist. For
example, some state accounting systems do not include
fixed charges for employee benefits, group insurance,
workers compensation, retirement, or unemployment
compensation in instruction. Refer to Appendix B, Notes
Relating to Education Finance Data, for descriptions of how
the Census Bureau has dealt with these differences.
Capital Outlay
This category refers to the direct expenditure by public
school systems for construction of buildings and roads;
purchases of equipment, land, and existing structures; and
for payments on capital leases. Amounts for additions,
replacements, and major alterations to fixed works
and structures are included. However, expenditure for
maintenance and minor repairs to buildings and equipment
is classified as current spending.
Indebtedness
Indebtedness data in this report pertain to debt issued in
the name of an independent school district or by the parent
government for a dependent school system. However,
debt issued by some school building authorities and
municipalities for the construction of education facilities
is excluded. Also excluded is general obligation debt not
issued distinctly for the support of schools, such as in the
District of Columbia (DC) and Hawaii, as these debts cannot
be separated from the assets of their parent government.
Cash and Security Holdings
Cash and security holdings of dependent school systems
are excluded from this report, as these holdings cannot be
separated from the assets of their parent governments.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA)
ARRA funds are included in revenue from federal sources,
current spending, and capital outlay expenditures in this
report. ARRA funds are not shown separately as exhibit
items in this report and therefore cannot be subtracted
from the revenue and expenditure totals.

DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGY

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

The Census Bureau has made arrangements with state


government departments of education to use data from
existing finance information collection systems where
the data are compatible with this surveys categories.
Every state department of education obtains information
annually on a wide variety of financial data from
elementary-secondary school systems by requiring reports
or conducting surveys. The Census Bureau is able to gain
access to this information through cooperative agreements
with each state as summarized below:

The data collected in this survey encompass all public


elementary and secondary school systems in the United
States and are centrally collected from each state.
The survey cycle begins in January when states begin
submitting data for the previous fiscal year. The data
collection process is typically completed by April of the
following year. The information included is intended to
provide a complete picture of a governments financial
activity. All revenue (by source), expenditure (by function
and object), indebtedness, and cash and security holdings
are requested. The inclusion of all financial transactions,
except for interfund transfers and some fiduciary
activities, allows for effective review and editing. It enables
respondents and Census Bureau staff to take a global view
of government finance and to perform basic cash flow
logic checks.

Data compiled or reformatted by Census Bureau staff


from state education agency electronic data files (19
states).

Data reformatted by state education agency staff into


survey categories before electronically transmitting
data to the Census Bureau (31 states and DC).

A single office or database in the state departments of


education did not always have all of the information
needed for this survey. In these instances, other sources
most often different state officessupplied information
to supplement the basic data. The most common types
of data needing supplementation were school lunch
finances, indebtedness, cash and security holdings, and
capital fund transactions.
Enrollment, Population, and Personal Income Data
Unless otherwise noted in Appendix B, the enrollments
used to calculate the per pupil amounts in Tables 8, 11, 14,
18, and 20 represent fall 2013 memberships collected by
the NCES in its nonfiscal Common Core of Data (CCD) Local
Education Agency (School District) Universe Survey: School
Year 201314, Provisional File 1a. Enrollments for state
educational facilities, federal school systems, and charter
schools whose charters are held by a nongovernmental
entity have been excluded. Enrollments from the CCD
agency universe file were subject to adjustment by Census
Bureau survey staff if the enrollments were inconsistent
with the finances reported.
The population data contained in Table 19 were obtained
from the Census Bureaus Population Estimates Program.
The personal income data in Table 19, which were used to
calculate the data for Table 12, were taken from the Bureau
of Economic Analysis 2013 Survey of Current Business.

U.S. Census Bureau

The Census Bureau attempts to identify all central sources


for public elementary-secondary finance data. Most of
these sources exist at the state government level. Many
state agencies, especially state education agencies, collect
financial data from the local agencies within their domains.
The collection arrangements have a number of distinct
advantages. First, because the Census Bureau is able to use
data from state government data systems, the respondent
burden on local school system administrators is lessened.
Second, the close relationship between local school systems
and state departments of education minimizes nonresponse.
The extensive use of central collection of elementarysecondary finance data requires the maintenance of
state-specific crosswalks that define the state data items,
which comprise each of the items reported by the Census
Bureau. In an effort to eliminate keying and response
errors, several edit checks are made. These checks identify
cash and debt flow problems, significant current year/
prior year differences, illogical salary and current spending
relationships, out-of-scope per pupil expenditure, and
other peculiarities. Census Bureau staff resolve edit checks
and other problems by rechecking data sources for entry
errors, reviewing state and other reports that contain the
same type of information, and making follow-up calls and
e-mails to state and local officials.
Financial data for school systems are summed to create
state aggregates. Census Bureau staff review the state
aggregates for consistency with prior year information. The
state aggregates are also compared with the financial data
collected in the National Public Education Financial Survey
(NPEFS) by NCES. During the review of state aggregates,
Census Bureau technical staff request assistance from state
officials and NCES to resolve differences. Most of these
differences result from the inclusion of state payments
on behalf of local education agencies in state education
agency and NCES totals. The state education agencies
and NCES furnish information about these payments that
enable the Census Bureau to provide state source revenue
Public Education Finances: 2014

and current spending categories shown in Tables 1 through


8, 11 through 18, and 20.

accounting handbooks by the state education agencies also


contributes to inconsistencies in the data.

Data Quality

Beginning in FY 1992, survey respondents have reported


state revenue within the following program categories:
general formula assistance, compensatory and basic skills,
special education, staff improvement, vocational, capital
outlay/debt service, bilingual education, transportation,
and school lunch. Users should be able to make valid
comparisons of this detail when examining school systems
within a given state. However, because the content of
state aid programs greatly varies among the states,
this information may not be comparable when making
comparisons between school systems in different states.
For example, state monies for special education and
compensatory education may be in specific categorical
aid programs in one state but be part of general formula
assistance in another state.

Although the data in this publication are not subject to


sampling error (because the Census Bureau attempts to
collect data for every school system), the data are subject
to various nonsampling errors, such as coverage error,
nonresponse error, keying error, and classification error.
An incomplete listing of all school systems in the United
States would result in coverage error. The Census Bureau
tries to mitigate coverage error by performing checks
against various other sources of school system data: the
NPEFS state totals, NCES listing, and the Census Bureaus
Governments Integrated Directory. The Census Bureau also
requests information from the departments of education in
each state.
Nonresponse error results from incomplete responses to
items on the survey forms. In order to produce complete
data files, the Census Bureau attempts to contact
nonrespondents, uses alternative data sources, and
imputes missing data by pulling forward data from the
prior year.
Various other nonsampling errors include response error
which results from inaccurate reporting of the data,
keying error which results from mistakes when entering
the data, and from classification error which results from
placing the data in the wrong categories. All of these
errors are mitigated by editing of the individual unit data.
Both the central collector and Census Bureau perform data
quality checks.

LIMITATIONS OF DATA
Finance amounts presented in this report are statistical
in nature and do not represent an accounting statement.
Therefore, a difference between a school systems revenue
and expenditure does not indicate a budget surplus or
deficit. Large capital outlay expenditure, debt issuance or
retirement, and changes in cash and security holdings are
all factors that have important influences on the balance
between revenue and expenditure.
In spite of efforts to identify and resolve errors, some
mistakes and inconsistencies in official reporting and
processing have undoubtedly escaped detection. Other
inconsistencies have been detected and are published with
the caveats shown in Appendix B. They arise from the fact
that each state education agency collects at a different
level of detail. Although states generally collect in much
greater detail than what the Census Bureau collects, there
are instances when certain states cannot provide some
of the items requested. The use of different financial

Note on Derived Statistics


This report includes derived statistics, such as per pupil
expenditure, amounts per $1,000 of personal income, and
totals aggregated from survey categories (e.g., total current
spending and total revenue). State rankings of selected
derived statistics and major expenditure categories are
shown in Tables 11 and 12.
An analysis based on derived statistics can be misleading
and misinterpreted because of differences between
school systems in accounting methodology, governmental
organization, and economic structure. For example, current
spending or per pupil current spending as a measure of
a school systems current expenses can be misleading
because different school systems have different criteria on
what they classify as current expenses.
Most school systems in the United States have a
capitalization threshold of $5,000 for supplies (meaning
supplies with a unit cost of less than $5,000 are classified
as a current expense, while supplies costing at least
$5,000 are accounted for as capital outlay). Larger school
systems, however, often have a capitalization threshold
larger than $5,000 (thus will have more types of supplies
classified as a current expense than smaller school
districts). School systems in New Jersey, on the other
hand, have a capitalization threshold of only $2,000 (thus
will have fewer types of supplies classified as a current
expense than most school districts). Any analysis involving
current spending or per pupil current spending should note
that school system and state disparities exist based on
what is classified as a current expense.
Revenue comparisons can also be misleading since
programs funded by a local government in one state may
be funded by the state or federal government in another.
For example, transportation programs are primarily
funded by the state government in some states, but are

ix

primarily funded by local governments in others. State


differences in school system funding between various
levels of government can often be attributed to the fiscal
and structural relationships between local, state, and
federal government in the state; thus, states that provide
less transportation funding to school systems than other
states are not necessarily less fiscally committed to
school system transportation. A strict ranking or per pupil
analysis that does not take into account varying fiscal
and structural relationships between the local, state, and
federal government in each state can lead to an invalid
analysis and incorrect conclusions. Finance amounts in
this report also do not take into account demographic,
socioeconomic, or geographic differences between state
and local governments.

The generous cooperation of state education agency
personnel is gratefully acknowledged. The time and effort
extended by these individuals makes it possible to produce
this report while imposing a minimum burden on local
school officials. The Census Bureau also appreciates the
dedication of local school officials in providing accurate
fiscal data to their state education agencies.

Duplicative interschool system transactions are excluded.

Includes payments to state and local governments, and interest on school system indebtedness.
Note: This information represents financial data for public independent and dependent school systems. It includes state payments made on behalf of public school systems and excludes financial
transactions of public nonschool entities. See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. Cash and security holdings of dependent school systems are excluded as these holdings
cannot be separated from the assets of their parent governments. Expenditures for adult education, community services, and other nonelementary-secondary programs are included under Current
spending but are excluded from the per pupil data displayed in Tables 8, 11, 14, 18, and 20. Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters
are held directly by a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System
Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information on nonsampling error and definitions, see introductory text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables should cite the
U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only.

only the revenue received by public school systems and excludes monies received by nonpublic school system organizations, such as state agencies and private entities. The value of school lunch
commodities is also excluded. Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters are held directly by a government or a government agency. Charter
schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information on
nonsampling error and definitions, see introductory text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only.

Includes amounts not shown separately.


Note: See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. Payments to other school systems are excluded from this table. Expenditures for adult education, community services,
and other nonelementary-secondary programs are included under Total current spending and All other functions, but are excluded in the per pupil data displayed in Tables 8, 11, 14, 18, and 20. Annual
Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters are held directly by a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by
nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information on nonsampling error and definitions,
see introductory text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only.

Note: See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. Payments to other school systems are excluded from this table. Expenditures for adult education, community services,
and other nonelementary-secondary programs are also excluded. Enrollments used to calculate per pupil amounts represent fall 2013 memberships collected by the National Center for Education
Statistics on the Common Core of Data (CCD) agency universe fileLocal Education Agency (School District) Universe Survey: School Year 201314, Provisional Version 1a. Enrollments for state
educational facilities, federal school systems, and charter schools whose charters are held by a nongovernmental entity have been excluded. Enrollments from the CCD agency universe file were subject
to adjustment if the enrollments were inconsistent with the finances reported. Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters are held directly
by a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data

Minor amounts of short-term indebtedness incurred by independent school systems are included in the long-term indebtedness figures and are not separately identifiable. Short-term indebtedness of
dependent school systems in many cases cannot be distinguished from the total indebtedness of their parent government.

by a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data are

Includes amounts not shown separately.
Note: See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. Revenue from and payments to other school systems are excluded to avoid double counting. Expenditures for adult education, community services, and other nonelementarysecondary programs are also excluded. Some data appear under local sources for Hawaiis state-operated school system for consistency with data presented for all other school systems. Enrollments used to calculate per pupil amounts represent fall 2013
memberships collected by the National Center for Education Statistics on the Common Core of Data (CCD) agency universe fileLocal Education Agency (School District) Universe Survey: 201314, Provisional Version 1a. Enrollments for state educational
facilities, federal school systems, and charter schools whose charters are held by a nongovernmental entity have been excluded. Enrollments from the CCD agency universe file were subject to adjustment if the enrollments were inconsistent with the finances
reported. Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters are held directly by a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to
be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information on nonsampling error and definitions, see introductory text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables should cite the
U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only.

Includes amounts not shown separately.
Note: See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. Revenue from and payments to other school systems are excluded to avoid double counting. Expenditures for adult education, community services, and other nonelementarysecondary programs are also excluded. Some data appear under local sources for Hawaiis state-operated school system for consistency with data presented for all other school systems. Data used to calculate rankings is from the U.S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Economic Analysis; Internet release date (for revised state personal income estimates): March 25, 2016 (2013 data). Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters are held directly by
a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information on
nonsampling error and definitions, see introductory text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only.

Note: See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. This information represents financial data for public independent and dependent school systems. It includes state
payments made on behalf of public school systems and excludes financial transactions of public nonschool entities. Expenditures for adult education, community services, and other nonelementarysecondary programs are included under Current spending and Other current spending, but are excluded from these categories in the per pupil data displayed in Table 14. Enrollments represent fall 2013
memberships collected by the National Center for Education Statistics on the Common Core of Data (CCD) agency universe fileLocal Education Agency (School District) Universe Survey: 201314,
Provisional Version 1a. Enrollments for state educational facilities, federal school systems, and charter schools whose charters are held by a nongovernmental entity have been excluded. Enrollments from the
CCD agency universe file were subject to adjustment if the enrollments were inconsistent with the finances reported. Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools
whose charters are held directly by a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of
School System Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information on nonsampling error and definitions, see introductory text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables
should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only.

Note: See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. This information represents financial data for public independent and dependent school systems. It includes state payments
made on behalf of public school systems and excludes financial transactions of public nonschool entities. Expenditures for adult education, community services, and other nonelementary-secondary programs
are excluded from the current spending categories in this table. Enrollments represent fall 2013 memberships collected by the National Center for Education Statistics on the Common Core of Data (CCD)
agency universe fileLocal Education Agency (School District) Universe Survey: 201314, Provisional Version 1a. Enrollments for state educational facilities, federal school systems, and charter schools
whose charters are held by a nongovernmental entity have been excluded. Enrollments from the CCD agency universe file were subject to adjustment if the enrollments were inconsistent with the finances
reported. Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters are held directly by a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose
charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information on nonsampling
error and definitions, see introductory text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only.

Enrollments reflect fall 2013 memberships reported to the National Center for Education Statistics on the Common Core of Data (CCD) agency universe fileLocal Education Agency (School District) Universe Survey: School Year 201314, Provisional
Version 1a. Enrollments for state educational facilities, federal school systems, and charter schools whose charters are held by a nongovernmental entity have been excluded. Enrollments from the CCD agency universe file were subject to adjustment if the
enrollments were inconsistent with the finances reported.
Note: See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. Revenues from other school systems are included in this table. Refer to the introductory text for an explanation concerning tax revenue for dependent school systems. Data for
specific state revenue programs are generally comparable for school systems in the same state, but are not for school systems in other states. Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters are held
directly by a government or a government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information
on nonsampling error and definitions, see introductory text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables should cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of the original data only.

Includes amounts not shown separately.
Note: See Appendix B for a description of state-specific reporting anomalies. Payments to other school systems are included in this table. Expenditures for adult education, community services, and other nonelementary-secondary programs are included under total elementarysecondary expenditure, total current spending, and other current spending, but are excluded in the per pupil data displayed in Table 18. Annual Survey of School System Finances statistics include the finances of charter schools whose charters are held directly by a government or a
government agency. Charter schools whose charters are held by nongovernmental entities are deemed to be out of scope for the Annual Survey of School System Finances. Data are not subject to sampling error, but for information on nonsampling error and definitions, see introductory
text. Data users who create their own estimates from these tables should cite the

Version 1a. Enrollments for state educational facilities, federal school systems, and charter schools whose charters are held by a nongovernmental entity have been excluded. Enrollments from the CCD agency universe file were subject to adjustment if the
enrollments were inconsistent with the finances reported.

governments, including employee retirement payments
made by state governments to state retirement funds and
to social security. Employer contributions made by those
few school systems that have their own retirement systems
(such as the Chicago Board of Education and the Denver
Public School System) into their own retirement funds are
excluded. Current operation expenditure is a standard
classification item used in all Census Bureau government
finance reports.
Current Spending. Comprises current operation
expenditure (as defined above), payments made by
the state government on behalf of school systems, and
transfers made by school systems into their own retirement
funds. This classification is used only in Census Bureau
education reports in an effort to provide statistics for users
who wish to make interstate comparisons. It is not used in
other government finance reports to avoid double counting
expenditure between levels of government and funds.
While expenditure made by the state government on behalf
of the school systems is available on a state aggregate
basis, it is frequently not available for each school system
in given states. Therefore, these payments are included
under current spending in the tables which display state
totals and are often estimated for the local school systems
to be included in the tables which display individual school
units. Appendix B identifies this anomaly on a state-bystate basis.
Debt. Short-and long-term credit obligations of a school

Appendix B.
Notes Relating to Education Finance Data
The characteristics of elementary-secondary school
finance data are influenced by accounting requirements
mandated by each state education agency. The level
of financial detail that school systems must maintain
varies from state to state. Different state financing
methods, such as making payments on behalf of school
systems to fund teacher retirement, and the use of
different accounting handbooks also cause variation. This
variation creates differences in the content of information
presented in this report. This appendix describes, on a
state-by-state basis, these differences and adjustments
made to improve data comparability.
ALASKA
Payments to other school systems cannot be isolated in
the Alaska school finance reporting system. These amounts
