Arizona Schools Spend Less in Classroom

An Arizona Auditor General’s report shows that Arizona school districts spend less of their operating funds in the classroom than the national average.

KOLD reports that in the 2009-2010 school year, districts spent 55.9% of their total operating dollars in the classroom. That’s about 5% less than the national average.

Arizona districts spent a lower percentage on administration than the national average but a higher percentage on facility operations and student support costs, such as counselors and social workers.
