 CURRENT EXPENDITURES IN GEORGIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS 
All Schools 1971-72 
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 (Regular Program), 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, Outgoing Transfer accounts, and State Shared Services. 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
