Quick Facts on K-12 Education

Hey folks...I just recieved an email from majority staff at the Arizona House of Representatives that included some interesting facts and I thought that I would pass them along. As usual, I welcome your input or comments on these numbers.

Per pupil K-12 education funding from all sources has increased from $5,721 per pupil in FY 1998 to almost $9,400 in FY 2007. This per pupil amount reflects an increase of funding equal to approximately 64%. Over this same timeframe, average daily membership pupil counts for K-12 education have increased from 770,013 to an estimated 1,030,811, reflecting a pupil count increase of approximately 34%.
