CURRENT EXPENDITURES IN GEORGIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS All Schools 1967-68 
 
This publication lists local expenditures for the schools operated by the various school systems. The author has indicated the total reported per pupil costs attributable to seven expenditure accounts, e.g., Administration, Instruction (Reg. Prog.), Attendance Services, Pupil Transportation, Operation of Plant, Maintenance of Plant and Fixed Charges. 
Educational expenditure data may vary among school districts for a number of reasons. Comparisons should be made only after careful investigation. Excluded from this data are expenditures for Capital Outlay, Debt Service and Outgoing Transfer accounts. Expenditure figures are important in terms of the education of children and should be so judged. Below are some reasons for variation of expenditure data among school systems: 
class size (large classes cost less per pupil than do smaller classes); 
salaries paid (high salaries increase per pupil costs; lower salaries decrease them); 
employment policy ( inexperienced personnel and personnel with little experience cost less than more experienced personnel); 
age of building (older buildings usually involve greater maintenance costs than newer buildings); 
services and programs (assistant superintendents, principals, assistant principals, clerical services, guidance services, instructional supplies and materials, music, industrial arts, a variety of courses, advanced courses all tend to increase costs); 
accuracy of data reported by the system for expenditure accounts. 
 
PLEASE NOTE -- 
The expenditures for 1967-68 shown in this booklet are those which were actually expended and reported by local school systems 
In addition to the $468.97 "Cost Per ADA Child" for Georgia shown in this booklet, the National Education Association requires Georgia also to count certain other expenditures for public school operation: 
$468.97 - shown in this booklet 20.02 - appropriation to Georgia Teacher Retirement System 8.49 - federal grant to schools for lunch and and milk programs 10.42 cost of operating the Department of Education 
$507.90* TOTAL 
*The estimated cost per child for Georgia in 1968-69 is $561. (This is the figure NEA will publish.)
