*Note
From the MA Department of Education web site, re: Comparisons with day program per pupil expenditure:
For decades, DOE has published a "day program" per pupil expenditure which distinguishes costs per pupil in regular, special, vocational and until recently, bilingual education. The "total" day program per pupil expenditure adds them together and is a popular statistic which has been calculated using the same basic methodology since 1976.
The day program measure is less comprehensive than the functional spending measure shown here. It does not count spending from most "outside" funding sources. It does not reflect tuition for pupils being educated at private special education schools, charter schools, or other settings outside the district. As a result, the new per pupil expenditure tends to be markedly higher than the old one, by an average of 16.8 percent.
