Most of the budget reaching the classroom

Share of a district's spending classified as instructional — teachers, classroom staff, materials — rather than administration, buildings or debt. Statewide it runs from about 29% to 49%. A higher share is not automatically better: districts differ in what they must also pay for, and a district with heavy transport or building costs is not thereby failing its students.
