Vermont Agency of Education (AOE), "Classifying School Districts by Size and Type of Education Offered", FY2026: the district's budgeted education spending — the part of its voted budget paid from the statewide Education Fund, after offsetting revenues — divided by its long-term weighted average daily membership (LTW ADM, the Act 127 weighting used from FY2025), as AOE computed it. It is a budget, not actual spending, and it is the district of residence's: it includes tuition the district pays for its students at other public and approved independent schools. Not comparable with the per-equalized-pupil figures of FY2012–FY2024.

Measure: Education spending per weighted pupil (LTW ADM).
