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.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act requires each public state Report Card to include the per-pupil expenditures of federal, state, and local funds for each Local Education Agency (LEA) and each school. These data can be accessed by downloading the most recent Report Card Public Data Set, which is an Excel document found on the ISBE Report Card Data Library webpage. Per-pupil expenditures for each LEA and school are available on the Finance tab within this Excel file. Alternatively, users may search for a district or school via the Interactive Illinois Report Card website, which includes helpful visualizations of spending data.
