Education Spending

The information in the chart below comes from the Vermont Department of Education, as reported in the Department of Employment & Training's 2002 Economic-Demographic Profiles. "Equalized Pupil" is a calculated measure as defined in state statute based on Average Daily Membership, and state-placed students, as weighted by factors such as secondary students, students in poverty and students for whom English is not the primary language. "Average Daily Membership" is the average enrollment of pupils who are legal residents of the district attending public schools, or for whom the district must reimburse the Commissioner of Education.

The information below comes from the Annual Statistical Report of Schools, submitted annually by schools to the Vermont Department of Education. The FY01 statewide average Current Expenditure per Student in Membership is $9,063. This figure is based on the federal definition of Current Expense, which incorporates special education and transportation expenditures in the definition. The student count is calculated by combining the number of Attendances and Absences for each Public School and dividing by the number of Session Days the school was officially in session. Students attending less than full-time are pro-rated into full-time equivalent (FTE) totals.
