Foreword

he data presented in this combined report―Rankings & Estimates―provide facts about the extent to which local, state, and national governments commit resources to public education. As one might expect in a nation as diverse as the United States—with respect to economics, geography, and politics—the level of commitment

to education varies on a state-by-state basis. Regardless of these variations, improvements in public education can be measured by summary statistics. Thus, NEA Research offers this report to its state and local affiliates as well as to researchers, policymakers, and the public as a tool to examine public education programs and services. Part I of this combined report—Rankings 2010—provides state-level data on an array of topics relevant to the com-plex enterprise of public education. Since the 1960s, Rankings has presented facts and figures useful in determining how states differ from one another—or from national averages—on selected statistics. In addition to identifying emerging trends in key economic, political, and social areas, the state-by-state figures on government financing, state demographics, and public schools permit a statistical assessment of the scope of public education. Of course, no set of tables tells the entire story of a state’s education offerings. Consideration of factors such as a state’s tax system, pro-visions for other public services, and population characteristics also are needed. Therefore, it is unwise to draw con-clusions based solely on individual statistics in this report. Readers are urged to supplement the ranked data with specific information about state and local service activities related to public education. Part II of this combined report—Estimates 2011—is in its 67th year of production. This report provides projections of public school enrollment, employment and compensation of personnel, and finances, as reported by individual state departments of education. Not surprisingly, interest in the improvement and renewal of public education continues to capture the attention of the nation. The state-level data featured in Estimates permit broad assessments of trends in staff salaries, sources of school funding, and levels of educational expenditures. The data should be used with the un-derstanding that the reported statewide totals and averages may not reflect the varying conditions that exist among school districts and schools within the state. Public education in the United States is a joint enterprise between local, state, and federal governments. Yet, progress in improving public education stems primarily from the efforts of state education agencies, local districts, and indi-vidual schools. These public organizations deserve credit for recognizing that spending for education needs to be ac-knowledged as an investment in our nation’s most valuable resource—children. Similarly, this publication represents a collective effort that goes well beyond the staff of the National Education Association. Individual state departments of education and the NEA’s state affiliates participate in collecting and assembling the data shown here. As a result, the NEA appreciates and acknowledges the cooperation it receives from all those whose efforts make this publication possible.

Executive Summary

EA Research collects, maintains, and analyzes data on issues and trends affecting the nation’s public education systems and their employees. This report, Rankings of the States 2010 and Estimates of School Statistics 2011, contains data based on information from state departments of education and other, largely

governmental, sources. Complete citations for sources in this report are provided in the References section. Significant highlights of these two reports are as follows:

Part I. Rankings of the States 2010 HighlightsPopulation: State population data provide indicators of the relative demand for public education services and other public programs. From 2007 to 2008, the total U.S. resident population increased by eight-tenths percent (0.8%). States that experienced the greatest percentage gains in population were the Utah (3.4%), Louisiana (2.7%), Arizona (2.5%), Wyoming (1.9%), and North Carolina (1.8%). Michigan (-0.7%), Rhode Island (-0.7%), and Maine (-0.1%) experienced population declines (Table A-3). (All further references A-H refer to tables in the Rankings section.) The total U.S. resident population increased by 10.2 percent during the decade from 1998 to 2008. Nevada (40.3%) and Arizona (33.1%) experienced the greatest percentage gains in population over that 10-year period. Other states that had large 10-year gains include Utah (26.3%). North Dakota (-1.1%), Louisiana (-0.7%), and West Virginia (-0.1%) experienced a population decline (A-4). The most densely populated state in 2008 was New Jersey, with 1,171 persons per square mile of land area, same as in 2007. The District of Columbia had a population density of 9,639 persons per square mile. The average population density for the United States and D.C. in 2008 was 86 persons per square mile. The least densely populated states in 2008: Alaska (1), Wyoming (6), Montana (7), and North Dakota (9) (A-11).

Enrollment: In fall 2009, U.S. public school enrollment was 49,141,467, up 0.2 percent over fall 2008. The largest percentage enrollment changes from fall 2008 to fall 2009 were in Nevada (2.8%), Utah (2.2%), Idaho (2.2%), and Texas (2.0%). Twenty-one states experienced declines in student enrollment in fall 2009. The greatest declines were in Vermont (-1.6%) (B-2, B-3). Classroom Teachers: Changes in the number of staff employed in education institutions as well as their levels of compensation reflect trends in enrollment; changes in the economy; and specific state, local, and national program priorities. There were 3,215,371 teachers in 2009–10 (C-5). The average number of students per teacher increased from 15.2 in 2008–09 to 15.3 in 2009–10. This ratio of students to teachers must not be confused with “Average Class Size,” which is the number of students assigned to a classroom for instructional purposes. Class size and student-teacher ratio are very different concepts and cannot be used interchangeably. According to recent studies, the difference between student-teacher ratio and average class size in K–3 is 9 or 10 students (Sharp 2002). Therefore, an elementary school with a school wide student-teacher ratio of 16:1 in kindergarten through third grade would typically have an average class size of 25 or 26 students in those same grades. The highest number of students enrolled per teacher in public elementary and secondary schools in fall 2009: Utah (22.4), California (21.4), Washington (19.3), Arizona (18.9), and Oregon (18.7). States with the lowest student–teacher ratios

x Rankings & Estimates 2010–2011

were Vermont (9.8), Maine (11.1), Virginia (11.7), and New York (11.8). Thirty-four states and the District of Columbia had average student–teacher ratios below the U.S. average (15.3) (C-6). Males comprised 24.0 percent of U.S. public school teachers in 2010. Many of them taught in Kansas (33.1%), Alaska (31.5%), Oregon (30.8%), Indiana (30.5%), or Vermont (30.2%). States with the lowest percentage of male faculty: Arkansas (16.0%), Virginia (17.8%), Mississippi (17.9%), South Carolina (18.4%), Louisiana (18.4%), and Georgia (19.8%). The median was 24.1 percent (C-8). Classroom Teacher Salaries: The U.S. average public school teacher salary for 2009–10 was $55,202. State average public school teacher salaries ranged from those in New York ($71,633), Massachusetts ($69,273), and California ($68,203) at the high end to South Dakota ($38,837), North Dakota ($42,964), and Missouri ($45,317) at the low end (C-11). Over the decade from 1999–2000 to 2009–10, in constant dollars, average salaries for public school teachers increased 3.5 percent. Wyoming (28.3%), Oklahoma (19.5%), Massachusetts (16.6%), Louisiana (15.8%), and Maryland (13.9%) had the largest real increases in salaries during that 10-year period. Eleven states saw real declines in average teacher salaries over those years, adjusting for inflation. Those with average salaries declining 5 percent or more: Michigan (-7.3%), North Carolina (-6.8%), and Indiana (-6.3%) (C-14). The U.S. average one-year increase in public school teacher salaries from 2008–09 to 2009–10 was 1.7%. During this period, the CPI increased 1.5%. The largest one-year increases—5 percent or more— were in South Dakota (10.7%) and Oklahoma (8.8%). Average salaries in current dollars declined in North Carolina (-3.3%), Florida (-0.5%), and Utah (-0.1%) (C-15). Expenditures per Student: The U.S. average per student expenditure for public elementary and secondary schools in 2009–10 fall enrollment was

$10,586. States with the highest per student expenditures: New Jersey ($16,967), New York ($16,922), Vermont ($16,308), Rhode Island ($15,384), and Wyoming ($15,345). Arizona ($6,170), Utah ($6,859), Mississippi ($7,752), Nevada ($7,813), and Idaho ($7,875) had the lowest per student expenditures (H-11). General Financial Resources: Total personal income data indicate the overall economic activity within a specific geographic area. It is the aggregate income from all sources received by persons residing in a state, and it has a significant effect on the total reve-nue or financial resources available to government jurisdictions through taxation. Personal income largely drives state tax systems; sales and income tax collec-tions respond rapidly to its changes. Between 2007 and 2008, U.S. total personal income increased 6.4 percent to yield $252,592 per student enrolled (D-2, D-7), whereas revenue per K–12 student increased by 4.3 percent that year. For 2009–10, revenue per K–12 student increased 2.8 percent (F-1, F-2). Government Revenues: State and local government revenue shares show little annual variation; given this well-established reality, it is easy to see why eco-nomic growth is the key to substantive improvement in education finance. State and local tax revenues per $1,000 of personal income for 2007–08 were $107 versus $110 the prior year. This number has been fairly level over the past decade (E-4). School Revenues: School funding continues to be state oriented, although the federal share increased somewhat in recent years. Between school years 2008–09 and 2009–10, the local share of K–12 public education funding decreased from 43.6 to 43.5 percent (F-7, F-8) and the state share decreased from 46.3 to 45.3 (F-9, F-10). The federal share increased to 11.1 percent (F-11, F-12). Throughout the past 10 years, state and local governments have each provided between 43 and 50 percent of the total revenues.

Executive Summary xi

Government Expenditures: Expenditures for ele-mentary and secondary schools and for higher educa-tion can serve as indicators of state and local government “effort” to fund these services. Between 1998 and 2008, expenditures for elementary and sec-ondary (K–12) education increased 22.5 percent,

whereas higher education spending increased 36.3 percent, in real dollars. The ratio of elementary and secondary expenditures to higher education expendi-tures was 2.6 to 1 in 2008, similar to the 2007 ratio of 2.6 to 1.

Part II. Estimates of School Statistics 2011 HighlightsEnrollment: Public school enrollment was expected to increase by 21,000 students from 2009–10 to 2010–11, from 49,141,467 to 49,162,463. Increases in the elementary grades were estimated to be 16,791, and secondary classes were expected to enroll about 4,205 more students. Of course, changes in enrollment vary across the country, with considerable differences pre-dicted from state to state and district to district. Classroom Teachers: To meet the increasing pro-grammatic and changing enrollment demands of local school districts, state education departments expected the number of public school classroom teachers to increase by more than 23,000, from 2009–10 to 2010–11 in spite of recent staff reductions. There were an estimated 3,215,371 teachers for 2009–10 compared to 3,238,795 in 2010–11. Implications for local school district finances vary. Nevertheless, clearly the shift-ing enrollments may present serious challenges to ex-isting school finance relationships at the state and local levels as districts prepare to meet needs gener-ated by increased enrollment and additional school personnel. Classroom Teacher Salaries: Based on trends, the NEA estimated that the average classroom teacher salary for 2010–11 would increase by 1.6 percent over 2009–10, from $55,202 to $56,069. The national aver-age salary, although useful as a benchmark statistic,

hides vast differences among states, with statewide averages likewise clouding significant local variations. Expenditures per Student: Expenditures per student in fall enrollment were expected to increase by 2.3 percent to $10,826 in 2010–11, up from $10,586 in 2009–10. This compares with a 2.3 percent increase in total current expenditures. General Resources: State governments still provide the largest share of public school financial support—estimated at 45.8 percent for 2010–11—up 0.4 percent from the revised figure of 45.3 percent in 2009–10. Once again, differences among states are considerable, reflecting differences in state and local revenue sys-tems, demographic characteristics, and program pri-orities, to name but a few factors. For 2010–11, the federal government’s contribution to public elementary and secondary school revenues is expected to be 10.5 percent, versus the revised figure of 11.1 percent in 2009–10. The federal, state, and local revenue contributions for public education for 2010–11 are estimated at $62.6 billion, $273.1 billion, and $260.6 billion, respectively, totaling $596.3 bil-lion. See Estimates pages 66 and 67 for additional summary information.

Glossary

Average Daily Attendance (ADA): The aggregate at-tendance of a school during a reporting period divided by the number of days school is in session during this period. Only days on which the pupils are under the guidance and direction of teachers should be considered as days in session. The average daily attendance for groups of schools having varying lengths of terms is the sum of the average daily attendances obtained for the individual schools. Average Daily Membership (ADM): The aggregate membership of a school during a reporting period di-vided by the number of days school is in session during this period. Only days on which pupils are under the guidance and direction of teachers should be considered as days in session. The average daily membership for groups of schools having varying lengths of terms is the sum of the average daily memberships obtained for the individual schools. Average Salary: The arithmetic mean of the salaries of the group described. This figure is the average gross salary before deductions for Social Security, retirement, health insurance, and so on. Basic Administrative Unit: See School District. Capital Outlay: An expenditure that results in the ac-quisition of fixed assets or additions to fixed assets, which are presumed to have benefits for more than one year. It is an expenditure for land or existing buildings, improvements of grounds, construction of buildings, additions to buildings, remodeling of buildings, or ini-tial, additional, and replacement equipment. Classroom Teacher: A staff member assigned the pro-fessional activities of instructing pupils in self-contained classes or courses, or in classroom situations. The num-ber of classroom teachers is usually expressed in full-time equivalents.

Coefficient of Variation (CV): The standard deviation expressed as a percentage of the mean. Used to compare standard deviations of varying groups of data. Current Expenditures: The expenditures for operating local public schools, excluding capital outlay and inter-est on school debt. These expenditures include such items as salaries for school personnel, fixed charges, student transportation, school books and materials, and energy costs. Current Expenditures for Elementary and Secondary Day Schools: Included are the following:

a. Expenditures for administration by the state board of education and the state department of education excluding expenditures for vocational rehabilitation and salaries for personnel who provide supplementary services, such as state library, state museum, teacher retirement, teacher placement, and so on.

b. Expenditures for administration by county or

other intermediate administrative units.

c. Total current expenditures by local school dis-tricts, such as expenditures for administration, instruction, attendance, health, transportation, net food service, maintenance and operation, and other net expenditures to cover deficits for extracurricular activities for pupils. (Net food service also includes the value of commodities donated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, such as those provided through the school lunch and milk programs.)

d. Direct state expenditures for current operations,

such as state (employer) contributions to re-tirement systems, pension funds, or Social Se-curity on behalf of public school employees;

Page 14: NEA Rankings And Estimates...vii Foreword he data presented in this combined report―Rankings & Estimates―provide facts about the extent to which local, state, and national governments

xiv Rankings & Estimates 2010–2011

state expenditures for textbooks distributed to local school districts; and all other expenditures made by the state on behalf of free public ele-mentary and secondary schools. Includes cur-rent expenditures made for vocational/technical elementary and secondary education.

Current Expenditures for Other Programs: Current expenses for summer schools, adult education, post-high-school vocational education, personnel retraining, and community services; services to private school pu-pils, community centers, recreational activities, and pub-lic libraries, and so on, when operated by local school districts and not part of regular public elementary and secondary day-school programs. Debt: The major portion of all state and local govern-ment debt constitutes long-term indebtedness. A sub-stantial portion of such long-term debt is nonguaranteed debt (i.e., obligations payable solely from pledged earn-ings of specific activities or facilities, from special as-sessments, or from specific nonproperty taxes). Education: The provision or support of schools and other education facilities and services. Effort: A measure that relates the capacity to support public schools (defined as the personal income of the residents of the state) to the revenues obtained, or ex-penditures made, on behalf of public schools. The latest available personal income data determine the school year for which school revenues and expenditures are chosen for comparison. Personal income for the year shown would be available to pay school taxes or defray school expenditures in that school year. Elementary School: A school classified as elementary by state and local practice and composed of any span of grades not above grade 8. A preschool or kindergarten school is included under this heading only if it is an in-tegral part of an elementary school or a regularly estab-lished school system. Enrollment: A cumulative count of the number of pu-pils registered during the entire school year. New en-trants are added, but those leaving are not subtracted. Expenditures: All amounts of money paid out by a government—net of recoveries and other correcting

transactions—other than for retirement of debt, invest-ment in securities, extension of credit, or as agency transactions. Expenditures include only external transac-tions of a government and exclude noncash transactions, such as the provision of perquisites or other payments in kind. Aggregates for groups of governments exclude intergovernmental transactions among the governments involved. Fall Enrollment: The count of the pupils registered in the fall of the school year, usually in October. Fire Protection: Comprises fire-fighting and fire-protection activities of local governments. Full-Time Equivalent Employment: A computed sta-tistic representing the number of full-time employees that could have been employed if the reported number of hours worked by part-time employees had been worked by full-time employees. This statistic is calculated sepa-rately for each function of a government by dividing the “part-time hours paid” by the standard number of hours for full-time employees in the particular government and then adding the resulting quotient to the number of full-time employees. Functions: Public purposes served by governmental activities (education, highways, public welfare, etc.). Expenditures for each function include amounts for all types of expenditures serving the purpose concerned. General Expenditures: All expenditures of a govern-ment other than utility expenditures, liquor store expen-ditures, and insurance trust expenditures. General Revenue: All revenue of a government except the kinds of revenue classified as utility revenue, liquor store revenue, and insurance trust revenue. All tax col-lections, even if designated for insurance trust or local utility purposes, are classified under general revenue. General Sales Taxes: Sales or gross receipts taxes that are applicable, with only specified exceptions, to all types of goods and services or all gross income, whether at a single rate or at classified rates. Health: Health services, other than hospital care, includ-ing health research, clinics, nursing, immunization, and other categorical, environmental, and general public

health activities. School health services provided by health agencies (rather than school agency) are included. High School Graduate: A person who receives formal recognition from school authorities for having com-pleted the prescribed high school course of study; ex-cludes equivalency certificates. Hospitals: Establishment and operation of hospital fa-cilities, provision of hospital care, and support of other public or private hospitals. Household: A unit that includes all persons occupying a house, apartment, or room regarded as a dwelling unit, excluding group quarters such as dormitories. Individual Income Tax: Taxes on individuals measured by net income and taxes imposed on special types of income (e.g., interest, dividends, and income from in-tangibles). Instructional Staff: Full-time equivalent number of positions, not the number of different individuals occu-pying the positions during the school year. In local schools, instructional staff includes all public elementary and secondary (junior and senior high) day school posi-tions that are in the nature of teaching or in the im-provement of the teaching–learning situation. Includes consultants or supervisors of instruction, principals, teachers, guidance personnel, librarians, psychological personnel, and other instructional staff. Excludes admin-istrative staff, attendance personnel, health services per-sonnel, clerical personnel, and junior college staff. In institutions of higher education, includes those engaged in teaching and related academic research in junior col-leges, colleges, and universities, including those in hos-pitals, agricultural experiment stations, and farms. Interest on Debt: Annual expenditures to pay interest only on long-term debt. K–12: Kindergarten through 12th grade. Used for con-venience of abbreviation in the Rankings tables; com-prises “Elementary School” and “Secondary School” as defined in this glossary. Thus, as is the case for “Ele-mentary School,” K–12 here may include preschool and/or kindergarten but only if it is an integral part of an elementary school or a regularly established school sys-tem.

Live Births: Number of births in the United States. Mean: The arithmetic average of the data. Median: The middle number in a group when data are arranged in numeric sequence. Membership: A count of the number of pupils “belong-ing” to a school, whether present or absent, on a day when school is in session. Noninstructional Staff: In local schools includes ad-ministrative and clerical personnel, plant operation and maintenance employees, bus drivers, and lunchroom, health, and recreational personnel engaged by school systems. In institutions of higher education includes ca-feteria, clerical, and custodial workers in colleges and universities, hospitals, agricultural experiment stations, and farms. Nonoperating School District: A school district that does not provide direct instruction for pupils but con-tracts with or pays tuition to other districts. Nonrevenue Receipts: The amount received by local education agencies from the sale of bonds and real prop-erty and equipment, loans, and proceeds from insurance adjustments. Operating School District: A school district that di-rectly provides instruction for pupils by hiring its own staff. Personal Income: State personal income is the current income received by residents of the state from all sources, including transfers from government and busi-ness but excluding transfers among persons. It is a be-fore-tax measure. The total includes both monetary and nonmonetary income of individuals and income received in kind. It also includes the investment income of non-profit institutions serving individuals as well as the in-vestment income of private trust funds and private noninsured welfare funds. Police Protection: Preservation of law and order and traffic safety. Includes highway police patrols, crime prevention activities, police communications, detention and custody of persons awaiting trial, traffic safety, ve-hicular inspection, and so on.

Property Taxes: Taxes conditioned on ownership of property and measured by its value. Includes both gen-eral property taxes (i.e., relating to property as a whole, real and personal, tangible or intangible, whether taxed at a single rate or at classified rates) and special property taxes (i.e., on selected types of property, such as motor vehicles or certain or all tangibles, subject to rates that are not directly related to rates applying to general prop-erty taxation). Public Welfare: Support of and assistance to eligible persons contingent upon their need. Excludes pensions to former employees and other benefits not contingent on need. Expenditures under this heading include cash assistance payments directly to needy persons under categorical and other welfare programs; vendor pay-ments made directly to private purveyors for medical care, burials, and other services provided under welfare programs; welfare institutions; and any intergovernmen-tal or other direct expenditures for welfare purposes. Any services provided directly by the government through its hospital and health agencies are classed un-der those headings. Range: The difference between the highest and lowest values in a group of data. Resident Population: In addition to those who are resi-dents of an area, includes armed forces personnel who are stationed in the area. Revenue: Revenue receipts for public school purposes derive from three main sources:

Local. Local, intermediate, and other sources include all funds for direct expenditures by local and intermediate districts for school services, for the opera-tion of intermediate departments of education, for em-ployer contributions to retirement systems and/or Social Security on behalf of public school employees, for the purchase of materials for distribution of local school districts, and so on. Includes net receipts from revolving funds or clearing accounts only when such funds are available for general expenditure by the local board of education. Includes gifts and tuition and fees received from patrons.

State. Revenue receipts from state sources in-clude all funds for the operation of the state department of education, for state (employer) contributions to re-tirement systems and/or Social Security on behalf of

school employees, for grants in aid to intermediate and local school districts for school purposes (including funds available from state bond issues for such grants and the costs of textbooks, buses, supplies, etc., pur-chased by the state for distribution to local school dis-tricts), for the payment of interest on state bonds issued to provide grants to local school districts, and all other state revenue for public school purposes. Money col-lected by the state as an agent of a lesser unit and turned over in like amounts to that unit is not included.

Federal. Revenue receipts from federal sources include money distributed from the federal treasury ei-ther directly to local school districts or through the state and county, including grants for vocational education, for aid to federally affected areas, for school lunch and milk programs, for educating American Indians in local public schools, and money derived from federal forest reserves and federal oil royalties. Revenue from Own Sources: All revenue of a govern-ment (taxes and other) except intergovernmental. School District: An education agency at the local level that exists primarily to operate public schools or to con-tract for public school services. Synonyms are “local basic administrative unit” and “local education agency.” School-Age Population: Population age 5 through 17, inclusive (excluding armed forces abroad). Secondary School: A school comprising any span of grades beginning with the next grade following an ele-mentary or middle school (usually 7, 8, or 9) and ending with or below grade 12. Both junior high schools and senior high schools are included. Standard Deviation, SDEV: A statistical technique measuring the extent to which data vary from their mean. Used to indicate the relative dispersion of indi-vidual items. Student-Teacher Ratio: The number of students in the fall enrollment divided by the number of classroom teachers. This ratio of students to teachers must not be confused with “average class size,” which is the number of students assigned to a classroom for instructional purposes. Class size and student-teacher ratio are very different concepts and cannot be used interchangeably. According to recent studies, the difference between stu-

Page 17: NEA Rankings And Estimates...vii Foreword he data presented in this combined report―Rankings & Estimates―provide facts about the extent to which local, state, and national governments

Glossary xvii

dent-teacher ratio and average class size in K–3 is 9 or 10 students (Sharp 2002). Therefore, an elementary school with a school-wide student-teacher ratio of 16:1 in kindergarten through third grade would typically have an average class size of 25 or 26 students in those same grades. Taxes: Compulsory contributions exacted by a govern-ment for public purposes, except employee and em-ployer assessments for retirement and social insurance purposes, which are classed as insurance trust revenue. All tax revenue is classified under general revenue and comprises amounts received (including interest and pen-alties but excluding refunds) from taxes imposed by the recipient government. Amounts received by a govern ment from a tax it imposes are counted as tax revenue of that government, even though initially collected by an-other government; however, any amounts the collecting

government retains are treated as its tax revenue. Tax amounts subsequently distributed to other governments are classified as intergovernmental transactions. Total Expenditures: Includes all current expenditures, capital outlay, and interest on the school debt. Total Revenue Receipts: Includes all revenue receipts available for expenditure for current expenses, capital outlay, and debt service for public schools, including all appropriations from general funds of federal, state, county, and local governments; receipts from taxes lev-ied for school purposes; income from permanent school funds and endowments; income from leases of school lands; interest on bank deposits; tuition; gifts; and so on. Amounts that increase the school indebtedness or that represent exchange of school property for money are excluded.

Technical Notes

his publication, Rankings of the States 2010, con-tains rank-ordered statistics for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. All state data are

ranked beginning with the largest figure. When the val-ues of two or more states are the same, they are assigned the same rank, with the appropriate number resumed with the next state in rank. In this case, they appear in rank order before rounding. Note, also, that some totals in certain tables may not sum exactly because of round-ing. Dollar values are expressed in “current dollars” unless otherwise noted. The notation “(Revised)” indi-cates tables that have been updated from the previous edition of Rankings of the States. The education data in Rankings are the most recent ac-tual or estimated data available from state departments of education. Complete citations for data sources are presented in the References section (page 100). Where no data are available from a state education department, NEA Research has provided an estimate, identified by an asterisk in Series B, C, F, and H tables. The State Notes (page 97) contain additional information provided by state education departments to help explain data re-ported for their states. The availability of data from federal government and other sources dictates the presence or absence of certain tables in this report. Because average daily membership (ADM) is no longer widely used as a state and national statistic, it has been replaced by fall enrollment (ENR) in the computation of

expenditure per student featured in Series H. Moreover, the per student count in ENR, rather than in average daily attendance (ADA), has become the recommended indicator for measuring public school expenditures and revenues as well as personal income per student in this report. However, for the reader’s convenience, tables with variables in ADA have been maintained, and new tables have been added for the ENR count in Series D, F, and H. Note, also, that in Series C, F, and H, the term “K–12 Schools” has replaced the term “Elementary and Secon-dary Schools.” No change in the meaning is implied (see the glossary entries for these terms). The abbreviation is used because of limited space in the title fields in the database from which the Rankings tables are generated for this volume. Figures A through H illustrate historical trends in se-lected Rankings data, and a detachable worksheet is pro-vided at the back of this book to help state affiliates and general users develop a school funding profile. Com-parisons with neighboring states can be developed for any Rankings table by using the last page of the detach-able section. The NEA skipped a publication year. Therefore, no Rankings of the States 2007 and Estimates of School Statistics 2008 exists.

Series A—Population

ables in Series A provide information about the population of states and can serve as indicators of the relative demand for public education ser-

vices or other public programs. The level and change in total state population are fea-tured in Tables A-1 through A-4. These tables help to identify patterns of growth or decline for each state and the resulting implications for the staffing and financing of public education institutions. Population density ap-pears in Table A-11. School-age population data in Tables A-5 through A-7 focus directly on the consumers of public elementary and secondary education. Combining these figures with public school enrollment tables in Series B can indicate demand for and participation in public school services.

Tables A-8 through A-10 define the adult population within states. Changes in the size of adult and elderly age groups affect demand for public school programs and the degree to which funding for education faces competition from other public sector programs. These tables also can indicate the propensity of citizens within a state to support public education. Figure A displays historical trends for two key groups: school-age and retirement-age populations. The school-age trend indicates a potential demand for education; the adult and retirement-age populations indicate a potential demand for health care services. As both education and health care are heavily dependent on public financing, competition between the two groups for available tax dollars may increase (Tables A-6, A-9).

ables in Series B feature data on student partici-pation in public elementary and secondary schools. The tables include current statistics on

students enrolled and the change in enrollment over the previous year. These tables indicate change in relative demand for public school services and staff. Public school enrollment (ENR) and average daily at-tendance (ADA) appear in Tables B-2 through B-5. Table B-7 shows the percentage change in the number of high school graduates over a 10-year period, which is

useful in predicting demand for higher education ser-vices in future years. Please see page 97 for additional information provided by the state education departments to help explain data reported for their states in Series B tables. Percentage change in total K–12 public school enroll-ment is displayed in Figure B. Accommodating in-creases has required and will continue to require physical and financial resources just to maintain a level measure of educational services (Table B-3).

Series C—Faculty

ersonnel in local public schools and in public institutions of higher education are the focus of tables in Series C. Changes in the number of staff

employed in education institutions as well as their levels of compensation reflect trends in enrollment, changes in the economy, and specific program priorities expressed by state residents. The number of staff employed in public schools is fea-tured in Table C-1. The statistics for full-time employ-ment in higher education presented in Tables C-2 through C-4 have been computed by the U.S. Census Bureau with a formula using hours worked by part-time employees. Two tables of student load—number of stu-dents enrolled per teacher and number of students in ADA per teacher—are presented in Tables C-6 through C-7. Average salaries for public elementary and secondary classroom teachers and instructional staff are featured in Tables C-9 through C-22. These average salary data are presented in “current” (unadjusted) dollars and also in

“constant” (inflation-adjusted) dollars. These computa-tions employ the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U), converted to a school-year basis, using the 1999–2000 school year as the base (1999–2000 = 100.0). The presentation of salary changes in constant-dollar terms enables identification of salary increases attribut-able to inflation. The resulting picture for most states is of a salary gain over the past decade far below what the public may intend or know of. Used as an advocacy tool, these salary data can do much to dispel myths of huge jumps in the purchasing power of teacher salaries. Please see page 97 for additional information provided by the state education departments to help explain data reported for their states in Series C tables. Figure C traces the percentage change in average sala-ries paid teachers from 2000 to 2010. When adjusted for inflation, the average salary has increased by 3.5 percent over the decade (Tables C-15, C-14).

Series D—General Financial Resources

he term total personal income measures the overall economic activity within a specific geo-graphic area. It is the aggregate income from all

sources received by persons residing in a state, and it has a significant effect on the total income or financial re-sources available to governmental jurisdictions through taxation. In turn, the amount of total personal income available affects the prospects for financing public edu-cation and other government services. A state’s personal income is used throughout the tables in this report to gauge the ability and effort of states to generate funds for public programs, and it is considered by some to present a better method of comparison than the use of per capita computations. Tables D-1 and D-2 compare states on their total per-sonal income and the percentage gain in each state. Per capita personal income provides more detail about the relative financial well-being of individuals within each state through the use of statewide population as a com-mon denominator and is featured in Tables D-3 through D-6.

Tables D-7 and D-8 compare the states on a measure of personal income geared more closely to the consumers of public education services—the number of students as measured in fall enrollment and average daily atten-dance, respectively. Table D-9 shows the relative sig-nificance of government activity as it contributes to total personal income by measuring personal income from government and government enterprises as a percentage of the total. Income from farming activities is compared by state in Table D-10. Figure D shows the percentage change in per capita per-sonal income for the years 1998 through 2008. To a large extent, personal income drives state tax systems. Sales and income tax collections respond rapidly to its changes. It is therefore a key indicator to watch in edu-cation finance planning (Table D-5).

Series E—Governmental Revenue

evenue of state and local governments, princi-pally revenue generated through taxation, is the subject of the tables in Series E. These tables

contain comparative information about the amounts and significance of selected tax sources by state, providing insight into the financial resources of government that are available for financing public education. General revenue, own-source revenue, and tax collec-tions are presented for state and local governments in this series. Revenue data are expressed on a per capita basis or as a proportion of state personal income. The latter expression, found in Tables E-2, E-4, E-8, E-11, E-14, and E-15, indicates that for every $1,000 of per-sonal income in a state, a certain amount of revenue (e.g., sales tax revenue) is generated. This is referred to as the tax effort of government units and also can be

computed for expenditure categories, as shown in Series G and H. Tables E-12 through E-15 feature state revenue from general sales and from individual income taxes, ex-pressed on a per capita basis and per $1,000 of state per-sonal income. Please note that low amounts appear for several states, indicating that those taxes are restricted in some fashion. Please consult references on state tax cha-racteristics for clarifying information. The historical trend of state and local tax collections per $1,000 of personal income is shown in Figure E for 1998–2008. State and local shares show little annual variation; given these constant relationships, it is easy to see why economic growth is the key to substantive improvement in education finance (Tables E-4, E-11).

Series F—School Revenue

eries F tables compare states on their sources of public school revenue. Funds received by public school districts from federal, state, and local

sources are listed for each state and are expressed in relation to the number of students in each state, to the state’s personal income, and according to the percentage distribution across the three government sources. Tables F-5 and F-6 examine each state’s relative posi-tion with regard to school revenues per $1,000 of state personal income. These measures, as with the examples in Series E, make it easier to compare the effort of gov-ernment units to provide financial support for public

school programs through measurement of that support with the common denominator of personal income. Please see page 97 for additional information provided by the state education departments to help explain data reported for their states in Series F tables. Figure F displays school revenues by source–state, lo-cal, and federal. Throughout the past 10 years, state and local governments have each provided between 43 and 50 percent of the total. The federal contribution has ranged from 7.1 to 11.1 percent over that same period of time (Tables F-8, F-10, and F-12).

Series G—Government Expenditures

tate and local government spending characteristics provide useful comparative information about the resources, needs, and priorities for public ser-

vices. Expenditures for government programs vary across states for many reasons, and state-by-state com-parisons should be made while keeping the particular factors for each state in mind—demographic, economic, and political factors are but a few. Tables in Series G describe spending by state govern-ments and by state and local governments combined. Expenditure data are expressed on a per capita basis, allowing closer comparison of the differences in levels and objects of state government spending, as well as their positions relative to the U.S. average. Use of state

personal income in selected tables provides an opportu-nity to compare the relative “effort” of government units to fund various types of programs, including public edu-cation. Per capita expenditures of state and local governments are shown in Figure G. General expenditures increased by 62.3 percent from 1998 to 2008, whereas capital out-lay and interest on debt increased 60.1 percent. Ad-justed for inflation, they increased 23.2 percent and 21.5 percent, respectively. Over this same period, the ratio of general expenditures to capital outlay and debt has in-creased from 5.1 to 1 to 5.2 to 1. Education expenditures are included in these totals (Tables G-3, G-10, G-11).

Series H—School Expenditures

xpenditures for elementary and secondary schools and for higher education can serve as indicators of state and local government “ef-

fort” to fund these services. Measures used to compare states on spending for education include current ex-penditures per student in Fall Enrollment (ENR) or Average Daily Attendance (ADA). In Section H, school expenditure data are displayed in relation to state population and state personal income and as per-centages of total state expenditures or as proportions of national averages. Expenditure data are shown for elementary and secon-dary (K–12) schools. Knowledge about public educa-tion systems and their funding characteristics is

required to make fair comparisons of state and local government financial support of education relative to that found in other states. See page 97 for additional information provided by the state education depart-ments. Combined per capita education expenditures of state and local governments are shown in Figure H. Be-tween 1998 and 2008 expenditures for elementary and secondary education increased 22.5 percent and higher education expenses increased 36.3 percent, in real dollars. The ratio of elementary and secondary expen-ditures to higher education expenditures is 2.5 to 1 (Tables H-7, H-8).

Technical Notes

Estimates of School Statistics presents public school data for the 50 states and the District of Columbia based on sur-vey responses of state education agencies. State department of education contacts are asked to provide estimated data for the current year (2010–11) and revisions to four years of historical data, as necessary. Therefore, data for school years 2006–07 through 2009–10 were subject to revision as a result of the 2010–11 survey. The estimated data fea-tured in this report are for the current school year (2010–11) and the previous school year (2009–10). These data are provided on a state-by-state basis along with summary statistics for the United States over the last decade. All figures represent projections by state education agencies—or NEA Research—as of September 2010. Twice a year, NEA Research submits current-year estimates of more than 35 educational statistics to each state’s De-partment of Education for verification or revision. The figures submitted by NEA Research are generated using re-gression analyses, which are standard statistical techniques designed to make predictions for the current year using numerical data from prior years. Only if an education department does not replace these projections with its own es-timated data does the NEA use regression-generated figures in this report. Such NEA estimates are identified with an asterisk in the summary of state data and state-by-state tables. National totals for average daily membership (ADM) as well as ADM-related statistics are no longer included in this report because six states, comprising nearly 30 percent of total school enrollment, no longer provide these data. Indi-vidual state ADM data and regional totals are included as available. Because of the shortcomings of ADM as a state and nationwide count, ADM has been replaced by fall enrollment (ENR) in the computation of the expenditure per pupil featured in Summary Tables J and K. Moreover, expenditure per pupil in fall enrollment, rather than in Average Daily Attendance (ADA), has become the recommended indicator for measuring public school spending. We there-fore use it in this report. Please note that throughout this publication, school years may be indicated in several equivalent ways. More specifi- cally, the school year from September 2010 through June 2011 may be shown as “2010–11,” or it may be indicated by shorthand as “2011,” or “11.” Also, several state education agencies have provided additional information about the education data submitted for this report (see page 97). Finally, please note that school year 2000–01 is used as the base year for computation of most constant-dollar salary, revenue, and expenditure data.

Highlights of Significant Developments in Public School Statistics

• Public school enrollment is expected to increase by 21,000 students from 2009–10 to 2010–11. Changes in the elementary grades are estimated to be 16,791, whereas secondary classes are expected to enroll about 4,205 more students. Levels of public school enrollment anticipated during the 2010–11 school year repre-sent the 26th consecutive increase since 1985–86. Of course, changes in enrollment vary across the country, with considerable differences predicted from state to state and district to district.

• To meet the increasing and changing enrollment demands of local school districts, state education depart-ments expect the number of public school classroom teachers to increase by 23,000, from 2009–10 to 2010–11. Implications for local school district finances are varied. But clearly they may present serious challenges to existing school finance relationships at the state and local levels as districts prepare to meet needs gener-ated by increased enrollment and additional school personnel.

• Based on trends, the NEA estimates that the average classroom teacher salary for 2010–11 will increase by 1.6 percent over 2009–10, from $55,202 to $56,069. The national average salary, although useful as a benchmark statistic, hides vast differences among states, with statewide averages likewise clouding signifi-cant local variations.

• Expenditures per pupil in fall enrollment should increase by 2.3 percent to $10,826 in 2010–11, up from $10,586 in 2009–10. This compares with a 2.3 percent increase in total current expenditures.

• State governments still provide the largest share of public school financial support—45.8 percent estimated for 2010–11—up 0.4 percent from the revised figure of 45.3 percent in 2009–10. Once again, differences be-tween states are considerable, reflecting differences in state and local revenue systems, demographic charac-teristics, and program priorities, to name but a few factors.

• For 2010–11, the federal government’s contribution to public elementary and secondary school revenues is expected to be 10.5 percent, versus the revised figure of 11.1 percent in 2009–10.

1. General Administration

ach state has a state department of education (headed by a chief state school officer) that exer-cises general control over public elementary and

secondary schools. Many states, particularly those with a large number of small school districts, have intermediate administrative units operating between the state and the local levels. These intermediate units provide various types of consulting and statistical services. They also perform regulatory and inspection functions for the state. In addition, some intermediate units also operate specialized schools for vocational or special education. The local school district is the basic administrative unit for the operation of elementary and secondary schools or for contracting for school services. The governing body of the district is the school board, and the chief adminis-trative officer is the superintendent of schools.

School Districts

The administration and operation of public schools across the country are organized in diverse ways. The diversity comes from the fact that each state legislature governs individually based on local history, economics, and politics. A school district may operate a school sys-tem for all or for some of its children (operating school district), or it may pay other districts for these services (nonoperating school district). School districts range from large metropolitan systems that serve thousands of students to one-school rural districts that serve fewer than 30 students (Table 1.1). The number of school districts has declined steadily, from 127,531 in 1931–32 to an estimated 15,624 in 2010–11. Primarily, this trend reflects consolidation and reorganization of school districts to achieve greater effi-ciency in delivery of public school services. The in-crease in the number of districts since 1998 is largely attributable to new charter schools that are designated by states as separate districts. Figures for the 50 states and the District of Columbia appear in Summary Table A.

By region (Table 1.2), the Great Lakes states have the highest number of operating school districts (3,401) in the nation. States leading the nation with respect to the number of operating school districts for 2010–11 are Texas (1,237), California (1,042), and Ohio (986).

Of the 15,624 school districts estimated for 2010–11, 15,344 (98.2%) are operating school districts; 280 do not operate their own school facilities but transfer students to other districts on a tuition basis. The comparison by region for fall 2010 demonstrates the variation in the organization of school districts and the distribution of enrollment by region. For example, the Plains region features 14.5 percent of the nation’s operating districts and educates 6.5 percent of the nation’s students. By contrast, the Southeast states contain 24.4 percent of total enrollment but educate them in 10.5 percent of the nation’s districts.

2. Students

all enrollments, average daily attendance, and—to a lesser extent—average daily membership are basic measurements of student participation in

public schools. Estimates of fall enrollments by state are shown in Summary Table B for 2009–10 and 2010–11. The figures for the 50 states and the District of Colum-bia on average daily attendance, average daily member-ship, and the number of high school graduates are shown in Summary Table C for 2009–10 and in Summary Ta-ble D for 2010–11.

Fall Enrollment in Public Schools

Of all the variables featured in this report, enrollment is being monitored most closely. Media accounts and re-search literature have been alerting educators, policymak-ers, and the public that enrollment increases will continue in this century. Moreover, state education agency figures for 1985–86 signaled the end of an era of enrollment de-

cline and the beginning of an upward trend in public school enrollment for most states. Implications for the demand for public school teachers and other education personnel are obvious: Education expenditure decisions by state and local governments will need to satisfy ex-panding resource demands associated with this enrollment growth (Table 2.1). Yearly changes in enrollment are depicted in Figure 2.1. Changes in enrollment at the elementary level account for 80.0 percent of the overall difference in student participa-tion this year. The 10-year trend in elementary enrollment since 2000–01 is illustrated in Table 2.2. Public school enrollment at the secondary level for the years 2000–01 through 2010–11 is featured in Table 2.3. Enrollment in secondary schools registered a 0.0 percent increase in 2010–11 from the previous year (Table 2.3).

Average Daily Attendance

The average daily attendance (ADA) for the school year is the total number of students that actually were present in school divided by the number of days school was in session. Table 2.4 shows the trend in ADA for the years 2000–01 through 2010–11. Column 5 of Summary Tables C and D shows ADA as a percentage of ADM in states reporting both daily atten-dance and membership counts. The difference between 100 percent and the percentage shown in this column is an indication of average daily absence.

High School Graduates

An estimated 3,175,998 high school students will gradu-ate in 2010–11, an increase of 1.9 percent over the re-vised estimate for graduates in 2009–10. After an overall decline in the number of graduates during the early 1990s, the number of graduates is beginning to increase as a consequence of the baby boom echo. The numbers of public high school graduates since 2000–01 are shown in Figure 2.2.

3. Instructional Staff

he instructional staff of a district or school comprises classroom teachers, principals, super-visors, librarians, guidance and psychological

personnel, and related instructional workers. This category often is used to describe the total public school staff involved most directly with students and their education. Instructional staff figures for 2009–10 are shown in Summary Table E. Figures for 2010–11 are shown in Table F.

Total Instructional Staff

The total instructional staff in 2010–11 is estimated at 3,729,727. This is an increase of 37,100, or 1.0 percent, over the revised estimate of 3,692,627 staff members in 2009–10. Estimates of the number of classroom teach-ers, principals, supervisors, and other instructional staff are shown in Table 3.1. According to estimates for 2010–11, the 1.0 percent increase in instructional staff over the previous year represents an increase in elemen-tary teachers (1.0%) and a decrease in secondary teach-

ers (0.3%). The trend in total instructional staff over the period is shown in Table 3.2.

Classroom Teachers The 10-year trend in the number of elementary and sec-ondary school classroom teachers—indicating changes over time as local districts respond to supply and de-mand factors—is featured in Table 3.3. The number of elementary school classroom teachers is estimated to be 1,895,006 in 2010–11, a one-year change of 1.0 percent compared to the revised estimate of 1,875,716 for 2009–10. The elementary school class-room teaching staff experienced a net increase of 9.3 percent since 2000–01. The number of classroom teach-ers at the secondary level is estimated to be 1,343,789 for 2010–11. This is a change of 0.3 percent over the revised estimate of 1,339,655 for 2009–10. Since 2000–01, the number of secondary school teachers increased 10.8 percent.

76 Estimates of School Statistics 2011

issues involving the recruitment and retention of quali-fied education personnel have focused on the competi-tiveness and career earnings potential of salaries in education compared with salaries in the private sector. Undoubtedly, statistics on salaries for classroom teach-ers and other instructional staff will be evaluated con-tinuously, particularly in states and school districts where instructional staff members are difficult to retain for long periods. It is important to note that vast differ-ences in staff salaries are not apparent in statewide aver-ages, which can hide as much as they reveal; therefore, users of these data must recognize their limitations. In addition, compensation systems at the district level include more than salaries alone. Unfortunately, it is difficult to quantify and categorize the employee bene-fits—both monetary and nonmonetary—associated with public school employment. Add the fact that each state is made up of individual school-district employers and it becomes apparent that salary statistics alone should not be the basis for evaluating state or district compensation. Further, any discussion of average salary figures in the absence of other data about the specific state or district provides limited insights into the actual “value” of those salaries. For example, variations in the cost of living may go a long way toward explaining (and, in practice, offsetting) differences in salary levels from one area of the country to another.

The national average instructional staff salary for 2010–11 is estimated to be $58,025, and the revised estimate for the prior year is $57,146 (Table 3.4). The gain of $879 between 2009–10 and 2010–11 represents an in-crease of 1.5 percent. These average salary figures are for the entire instructional staff—classroom teachers, principals, supervisors, and other instructional person-nel. In the computation of the national average, each state average is weighted by its number of instructional staff members. Average salary figures are listed by state and region in Summary Table G. The average salary per member of the instructional staff in 2010–11, estimated at $58,025, is an increase of $12,987 in current dollars over the average salary of $45,038 reported for 2000–01. Taking inflation into ac-count, however, shows that over the period from 2000–01 to 2010–11 (based on Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers; 2001 = 100.0), the instructional staff salary changed $1,440, or 3.2 percent.

Classroom Teacher Salaries

The U.S. average classroom teacher salary is estimated to be $56,069 for the 2010–11 school year. This amount represents an increase of 1.6 percent in current dollars over the revised figure of $55,202 in 2009–10.

Figure 3.1 highlights the differences between the aver-age classroom teacher salary in current versus constant dollars. The current-dollar increases over the years since 1990–91 appear substantial—from $33,084 in 1990–91 to $56,069 in 2010–11—an increase of $22,985 in unad-justed terms. But when the effects of price inflation are taken into account, the average teacher salary changes by $1,334 or 4.0 percent, over the 20-year period from 1990–91 to 2010–11. Estimated average salaries paid to classroom teachers in 2010–11 vary from a low of $35,201 to a high of $72,708. Average salaries of classroom teachers for the 50 states and the District of Columbia are distributed as shown in Figure 3.2.

In 2010–11, the salary in the state with the highest aver-age annual salary of classroom teachers is expected to be 106.6 percent higher than that in the state with the low-est salary. The dollar gap has grown from $22,428 in 2000–01 to $37,507 in 2010–11.

Differences in salary levels between elementary and secondary teachers are usually the result of factors (such as average teacher experience and educational attain-ment) that vary from state to state and district to district. It should not be assumed that elementary classroom teachers are paid more or less than secondary classroom teachers strictly on the basis of what grade level they teach (Table 3.5). Elementary school teachers are expected to earn an av-erage salary of $55,864 in 2010–11, an increase of 1.7 percent over the revised estimate of $54,918 for 2009–10. The average salary for secondary teachers is esti-mated to be $56,350, a 1.4 percent increase over the previous year’s value of $55,595.

Table 3.6 shows the percentage increase in classroom teacher salaries for this year compared with 2000–01 and for each year in the range compared with the previous year.

4. Revenues

evenue receipts provided by state education agencies include all funds that become available during the school year. Receipts used for pay-

ment of principal and interest on long-term debt and nonrevenue receipts used largely for capital outlay ex-penditures are included. The figures on expenditures, however, include capital outlay but exclude payments to amortize debt. For this reason, total receipts generally will exceed total expenditures.

Total Receipts

Total revenue and nonrevenue receipts for 2010–11 are estimated to be $632,412,181,030, an increase of 2.2 percent compared with 2009–10 and a 48.4 percent in-crease compared with 2000–01. When adjusted for infla-

tion, total receipts increased an estimated 18.9 percent over the decade.

Revenue Receipts

Revenue receipts available for current expenses, other non-day-school programs operated by the public schools, capital outlay, and debt service for public schools are shown in Table 4.1. Included among revenue receipts are all appropriations from general funds of fed-eral, state, county, and local governments; receipts from taxes levied for school purposes; income from perma-nent school funds and endowments; and income from leases of school lands and miscellaneous sources (inter-est on bank deposits, tuition, gifts, school lunch charges, and so on).

Revenues 81

For 2010–11, revenue receipts are estimated at $596,271,054,739, an increase of 2.5 percent over the revised figure of $581,882,655,715 reported for 2009–10. From 2000–01 through 2010–11, school revenue receipts increased 50.1 percent in current or unadjusted dollars. Adjusting for inflation in 2000–01 dollars, pub-lic school revenues increased 20.2 percent over the dec-ade. State-by-state figures on the sources of school revenue are given in Summary Tables H and I, columns 2–4 and 6–8, for the years 2009–10 and 2010–11, respectively. Comparing these estimates shows an expected -$2,220,400,241 decrease in federal revenues, an ex-pected increase of $9,186,819,216 in state revenues, and an increase of $7,421,980,050 in local revenues, for a total increase of approximately $14.4 billion in revenue receipts for the year. In percentage terms, contributions by the three levels of government changed by -3.4, 3.5, and 2.9 percent, respectively. Amounts and percentages of revenue receipts from fed-eral, state, and local sources for the years 2000–01 through 2010–11 are shown in Table 4.2. During this period, the percentage of state receipts has ranged be-tween 45.3 and 50.0 percent of total revenue receipts, constituting the largest source of public school funds with the exception of school funding for 1993–94. State education resources, derived primarily from income and

sales taxes, have increased by 37.3 percent from 2001 to 2011—10.0 percent when adjusted for inflation. Local and intermediate sources of school revenues, coming mostly from property taxation, grew by 53.2 percent (22.7 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars).

Increases in School Revenue

One measure of support for the improvement of educa-tion is the amount of new funds made available each year. Figure 4.1 shows annual variations reflecting changing priorities and the fluid nature of the state-local fiscal partnership in school finance during the period 2000–01 to 2010–11. Please note that in the school year 1994–95 (not shown), state funds appear as providing an unusually high share (77.8%) of the new money by level of government, whereas federal and local shares of the new money account for only 2.8 and 19.4 percent, re-spectively. In this regard, it is important to remember that these values in any year include the substitution of, for example, state-source revenue for local-source reve-nue, as occurred in Michigan in 1994. Michigan substi-tuted state-source revenue for local funds and added funds to reduce per student expenditure disparities. In other words, Michigan’s higher state share does not nec-essarily translate entirely into new funds provided to public education.

5. Expenditures

otal expenditures for public schools—current ex-penditures for elementary and secondary day schools, capital outlays, and interest payments—

are expected to increase from $609,954,423,803 in 2009–10 to an estimated $625,401,847,532 in 2010–11. This increase of $15.4 billion includes expected expenditures from federal appropriations, rising state appropriations, and increasing local tax revenues. Increased expenditures are estimated across all major categories of expenditure. These include current expenditures for elementary and secondary day schools; for other programs (summer schools, adult education programs, community centers, and other community services when operated by local school districts and not part of the regular public elemen-tary and secondary day-school program); capital outlays; and interest payments on school debt. Repayment of prin-cipal on bonded indebtedness is not included.

Total Expenditures The total amount to be spent during 2010–11 for current expenditures, capital outlay, and interest on school debt

represents a 2.5 percent increase over comparable ex-penditures estimated for 2009–10 and a 54.7 percent increase over 2000–01. Adjusting for the effects of price inflation, the change in total public school expenditures is estimated at 23.9 percent over the decade (Table 5.1).

Current Expenditures

Current expenditures of elementary and secondary day schools include amounts paid for general control, in-structional service, operation, maintenance, fixed charges, and other school services excluding expendi-tures for state administration. Current expenditures comprise all governmental contributions to the retire-ment fund and expenditures for school services, includ-ing attendance, health services, transportation, and other school services. This figure does not include payments for capital outlay and interest on school debt or amounts spent for community colleges, community services, summer school, community centers, and services to nonpublic school students (Table 5.2).

84 Estimates of School Statistics 2011

Current expenditures are expected to increase from $520,209,431,349 in 2009–10 to $532,223,618,856 in 2010–11, a 2.3 percent increase in current-dollar terms. Current expenditures of public schools grew by 23.9 percent from 2000–01 to 2010–11 in inflation-adjusted dollars.

Current Expenditure per Student in ENR Fall enrollment (ENR) has replaced average daily atten-dance (ADA) and average daily membership (ADM) as the preferred measure of student participation in the educational process. ENR is recommended as the best divisor because of its standardized definition; therefore, it is most useful when making interstate comparisons. State-by-state calculations based on both ENR and ADA counts may be found in Summary Tables J and K. Use of these statewide figures should be supplemented by the reader’s knowledge of factors particular to a state or locality that would affect spending levels. Table 5.3 shows the average cost per student in ENR (in current dollars) for each year since 2000–01 as well as the percentage increases in cost per student in ENR. Over the last decade, the average per student expendi-ture rose by $1,348, or 18.4 percent, after inflation. The

estimated average expenditure per student in ENR for 2010–11 is $10,826, an increase of $240 over the re-vised figure of $10,586 for 2009–10. Variations among the states in average expenditures per student in ENR are wide. The statewide estimates for 2010–11 vary from a low of $6,448 to a high of $17,750, a difference of $11,302. Estimated expenditures per stu-dent in ENR for the 50 states and the District of Colum-bia are distributed as shown in Figure 5.1.

Capital Outlay

Total expenditures for capital outlay are estimated at $60,500,368,775 for 2010–11, an increase of $2.5 billion over the 2009–10 level, which was $58,008,788,053. Figure 5.2 shows the variability in spending for this function resulting from changes in school district needs for capital outlay over the last 10 years.

Interest on School Debt

For the school year 2009–10, total expenditures for in-terest on debt were estimated at $19,742,212,272. For the school year 2010–11, these expenditures grew to $20,625,182,078—an increase of 4.5 percent.

he NEA recognizes that each state’s depart-ment of education (DOE) has its own system of accounting and reporting for state executive

and legislative branch purposes. As a result, it is not always possible to obtain completely comparable data for every state. For this reason, NEA Research en-courages each state department of education to include any clarifying information that is necessary for a proper interpretation of the data supplied. In response, state education departments have provided the follow-ing clarifying and explanatory information. CALIFORNIA: California has more than 500 schools that cannot be categorized as either “Elementary” or “Secondary.” Therefore, “Elementary” personnel in-clude teachers from elementary, middle, junior high, and special education schools, and teachers from county and district offices not assigned to a school site. “Secondary” personnel are deemed to include teachers from senior high, continuation, alternative, community day, juvenile hall/court, and K–12 schools.

The California legislature determines the amount of property taxes used to fund schools. Local school boards do not have authority to raise any reve-nue for district instructional programs. The enrollment projections do not include ungraded enrollment. DELAWARE: For fiscal and reporting purposes, the state treats charter schools as if they were public school districts without geographic boundaries. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: DOE-provided data exclude charter schools, except for enrollments based on NCES Common Core of Data. GEORGIA: State revenue includes “on behalf” reve-nues (health insurance and retirement premiums) and “state schools” revenues.

Total current expenditure includes “on behalf” pay-ments (health insurance and retirement premiums) and “state schools” expenditures. ILLINOIS: Salary data may include extra-duty pay. School districts report total salary as the amount re-ported to the Teacher Retirement System. IOWA: 2006 average teacher salary calculated ac-cording to NEA instructions. Numbers for previous years had not been calculated this way. KANSAS: The Kansas State Board of Education in-cludes in its average teacher salary three separate forms of compensation: base teaching salary, supple-mental salary, and fringe benefits. Kansas does not keep data on teacher gender break-down or on the differences in salaries among “elemen-tary” and “secondary” schools. For this report, the NEA has estimated the teacher gender breakdown and the difference in salaries using a formula acceptable to the Kansas DOE. LOUISIANA: FY2007/08 fiscal data includes all 113 entities for which students were reported (69 city/parish school districts, 2 lab schools, 8 Type 2 Charters, 26 Type 5 Charters (15 agencies), 6 Special Schools, Office of Youth Development, and the Re-covery School District). Expenditures for the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education for FY2007/08 totaled $37,599,325. Expenditures for the Department of Education for FY2007/08 totaled $119,142,254.

FY2008/09 fiscal data includes all 126 enti-ties for which students were reported (69 city/parish school districts, 2 lab schools, 9 Type 2 Charters, 38 Type 5 Charters (23 agencies), 6 Special Schools, Of-fice of Youth Development, and the Recovery School District). Expenditures for the State Board of Elemen-

tary and Secondary Education for are estimated based on prior year data as $37,055,959. Expenditures for the Department of Education for are estimated based on prior year data as $125,216,774.

FY2009/10 fiscal data includes all 138 enti-ties for which students were reported. (69 city/parish school districts, 2 lab schools, 11 Type 2 Charters, 48 Type 5 Charters (30 agencies), 6 Special Schools, Of-fice of Juvenile Justice, and the Recovery School Dis-trict. Estimated revenues and expenditures reported using final FY2008/09 data. Expenditures for the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education for FY2009/10 are estimated based on prior year data as $39,495,471. Expenditures for the DOE for FY2009/10 are estimated based on prior year data, totaled $125,272,738.

The Louisiana average salaries for instructional staff and classroom teachers are calculated using all regular salaries and bonuses relating to the assigned duty or duties performed by each applicable city/parish school district employee. Overtime payments, stipends, and benefits are excluded. Methodology for these calculations is documented at: http://www.louisianaschools.net/lde/uploads/3179.pdf MAINE: Enrollment figures only include students attending public schools and does not include those students attending private schools at public expense.

Average teacher salaries since 2008 do not include payments by the Maine Department of Educa-tion to bring teachers paid below $30,000 up to the $30,000 minimum salary. MICHIGAN: The data in this report can be found at http://www.michigan.gov/cepi. The average salary of teachers is not an FTE-weighted average. The average salary is determined by taking the total salaries for all full-time K–12 instructional professional staff and dividing that figure by the number of full-time K–12 staff.

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) does not collect elementary and secondary salaries or teacher counts based on gender for full-time equivalents. Added costs for instructors are bro-ken down in the same ratio as students. Special Educa-tion, Compensatory Education, and other added needs are divided into proportions of 69.5 percent “elemen-tary” and 30.5 percent “secondary.” Vocational edu-cation teachers are all considered “secondary.”

The MDE does not collect aggregate daily totals on attendance. A definition of “average daily attendance” (ADA) is written in Michigan state law as 92 percent of the total reported enrollment in Michigan’s school districts.

The MDE’s “elementary” enrollment was computed as K–6 and “secondary” enrollment as grades 7–12. Special education was divided into pro-portions of 69.5 percent “elementary” and 30.5 per-cent “secondary.” During fiscal 1994–95, 40 public school academies were established. They began op-eration in fiscal 1996–97. “School academies” are charter schools that for certain purposes are counted as school districts.

Legislation passed in 1994 changed the major source of revenue from local to state funds. MINNESOTA: Short-term debt is included in the total current expenditure figure.

Minnesota’s alternate-year teacher contract negotiations result in understated salaries for off years because, in the absence of accurate data, the school districts often report data from the prior year. Conse-quently, the Minnesota Department of Children, Fami-lies, and Learning no longer will supply salary estimates for off years. The NEA will submit its own estimates for these years.

The total school district data include charter school districts. NEBRASKA: The number of classroom teachers and the data on teacher salaries do not include substitute teachers. “Elementary” enrollment data are consid-ered to comprise grades pre–K–8. Total number of classroom teachers consists of elementary (elementary and junior high/middle school and secondary (secon-dary). NEW HAMPSHIRE: Fall enrollment data have been corrected in the NEA database to include the number of preschool children, which was excluded in the past. NEW JERSEY: All salary data computed by New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) from New Jer-sey state DOE data. NEW MEXICO: A new reporting system was introduced for 2006-07; therefore, comparisons to prior years may have anomalies.

Expenditure data are not yet available at the time of reporting, therefore calculations for average expendi-ture per student are estimates using NEA’s estimated figures. NEW YORK: New York’s teacher salary data are medians, not averages (arithmetic means). NORTH DAKOTA: The number of teachers re-ported in this table do not include tutors and small group instructors and may differ from the teacher counts reported by other publications, such as CCD, released by NCES. OHIO: Total number of teachers reported includes teachers whose gender was not reported. OKLAHOMA: Contact NEA Research or the Okla-homa Education Association (OEA) for updated salary figures and rankings that were not available at the time of this reporting. OREGON: Where applicable, “average teacher sal-ary” includes the contract amount plus 6 percent for the employer portion of retirement contributions.

The number of instructional staff includes Regional Service District staff. PENNSYLVANIA: The number of elementary class-room teachers includes all elementary teachers plus half of the specialized or K–12 classroom teachers, half of the special education teachers, and one-half of the speech correctionists.

The number of secondary classroom teachers includes all secondary teachers plus half of the spe-cialized or K–12 classroom teachers, half of the spe-cial education teachers, and half of the speech correctionists.

Teachers and instructional salaries from Pennsylvania Information Management Systems 2009-10 Professional Staff Data Collection. Pennsylvania only reports professional staff data in survey areas that align with federal reporting requirements. SOUTH CAROLINA: The number of school districts includes two special districts established by the Gen-eral Assembly.

ADA and ADM figures include kindergarten students reported at half-count.

SOUTH DAKOTA: Student enrollment numbers are not consistent with Common Core Data (CCD) non-fiscal data collections of the National Center for Edu-cation Statistics. CCD requires submission of data for all public schools and also for state-operated schools (e.g., schools for the deaf, visually handicapped, and corrections). TEXAS: The number of “elementary” students in-cludes the number of students in early education through grade 6. The number of “secondary” students includes students in grades 7–12. VERMONT: The substantial drop in Vermont's local revenues and increase in state revenues reported in FY 05 and projected for FY 06 is caused by a statutory change. The Vermont legislature passed Act 68, which, among other things, changed the local property tax component of education revenue into a state property tax. Revenue data do not include reve-nues to run the state’s board of education or depart-ment of education.

Expenditures for food services are included in current expenditures. Students who attend independent schools at public expense are not included in the student enrollment count. The expenditures associated with those students are likewise not included in current expenditures summaries. WASHINGTON: The amount of interest on school debt does not include interest derived from capital projects funds. Student enrollments include high school students who are enrolled in community col-leges and technical colleges.

Associated Student Body Fund revenues and expenditures are excluded from this report. Federal food reimbursements are not deducted from food ser-vice expenditures. WISCONSIN: We are accepting NEA estimates for revenues and expenditures data since our numbers are not yet available at the time of NEA collection. WYOMING: Non-revenue data changed to reflect removal of “transfers in” to various fund groups. Wyoming believes this would represent a duplication of revenue reported. Significant increase in expenditurees from prior years reflect that districts are spending more in the area of “community support.”
