ELEMENTARY NEV.
CITY STUDENTS
COSTS72AYEAR —
Nevada City elementary school
district spent $72.21 per pupil in;
average daily attendance for current!
purposes in 1939-40, a decrease from
the $73:42 spent the year before, according to a study of per pupil costs .
of the 201 larger elementary school’
districts in California, just com. pleted by. California Taxpayers as-,
sociation.
Comparison of the costs per pupil
of the Nevada City elementary district with expenditures of other dis-!
tricts in the same size group shows .
that the districts $72.21 total cur-;
rent expenditure per pupil in average daily attendance for 1930-40 was
lower than the median or midpoint
expenditure of $82.58 per pupil for
districts in this size group.
The district’s expenditure per
pupil for teachers’ salaries of
$48.01 was a decrease ‘from the
$48.54 spent for this ‘purpose. in
1938-39, but the association pointed
out, the median or midpoint expenditure for this purpose for similar
size districts for 1939-40 was $54.40. Other current expenditures per.
pupil by the districts were $24.88 in
1938-39 and $24.20 in’ 1939-40, median or midpoint ‘expenditures for
other current purposes for the districts in this size group in 1939-40
were $28.42. the association stated.
Over the state as a whole, current
expenditures per pupil im average
daily attendance in the elementary
schools have shown a steady increase
since 1933-34, going from $85.17 in
chat year to $105.17 in 1939-40. an
increase of $20 per pupli in six years
Since 1933-34 theassociation stated,
average daily attendance in the elementary schools (including kindergarten, but excluding grades 7 and
8 in junior high school) has decreased from 646,931 to 625,051 for 1939
40. Total current expenditures during these six years went from '$55,099,193 in 1933-34 to $65,734,056
in 1939-40. Estimates for the current
year show a further drop im average
daily attendance to 624,000; an increase in total current expenditures ,
to 67,000,000; and an increase in
pupil in average
daily attendance to more than $107.'
Pointing out that the increases of .
$20 per pupil im average daily at;
tendance in total current expend. j
itures in these six years was an in-!
crease of almost one fourth, the Taxpayers association declared:
“Tt’s time to call a halt to increas-'
es in the spending of th
schools as well as of the aoe a
other local governments. Had school)
costs been held at levels paralleling
the trend of the cost of living and .
commodity.prices, the cost per ele-'
mentary pwpil over the state would
be ‘about $15 lower than at present. .
For: the 625,000° pupils in average,
daily attendance in elementary
schools last year the cost would have
been about $9;375,000 less.
“The only -place school costs can
be held down is in the local districts

spending plans for ~ their © schools.
Next year’s school programs and the
spending plans’ are already being
made’ up. Citizens ‘should ‘let their
school board members know now, ‘before’ budgets ‘are fixed;:that, while
