Facts regarding school expenditures. Don’t fall for disinformation on this important topic.

From Kansas Association of School Boards

“FACT CHECK FRIDAY: Where does school funding go?

A common misconception is that the majority of school funding goes toward administrative costs. In reality, instruction and teacher salaries account for 59.2% of state school operating expenditures.

From transportation and food service to student support and facility maintenance, school funding supports the many people and services it takes to help students succeed.”
