The Nebraska Department of Education released information on the adjusted school general fund expenditures. These numbers will be used to determine state aid for the 2013-14 school year.
How it works-
the schools are listed in order by the number of K-12 students;
the ten larger schools and ten smaller schools closest in size are identified (listed below);
the two highest spending and two lowest spending schools are dropped from the list;
the expenditures of the remaining 17 schools are averaged and that average is our calculated formula need for next year.
Schools dropped- lowest spending- Minatare and Pleasanton. This is the first year it was not Bancroft-Rosalie. We had two smaller spending schools in our comparability group this year.
Schools dropped- Highest spending- High Plains and Creek Valley.
