Every figure, including each per-pupil figure, is the publisher's own. Total instruction is the three instruction lines above it, and current operating spending is total instruction plus total support services. Total support services and total revenue can also include amounts the bulletin does not list separately. Adult education and teacher salaries have no per-pupil figure here, because the bulletin does not divide them by the pupil count. Pupils per teacher: 13.
