The spending data the state makes available is deliberately impenetrable. They used to provide a spreadsheet per district with all the categories of spending statistics, but I guess that was too useful, now each category is a spreadsheet for every district statewide.https://www.nj.gov/education/guide/2022/ind.shtml

They provide defective spreadsheets where the sort functions don't work! I'm not an excel wizard, but with patience you can mine out tidbits. How about these comparisons of cost to other large districts in NJ.

Salaries and Benefits for Operations and Maintenance of Plant: 90|92. That is, we pay more per student than 89 out of 91 other NJ districts.

Teachers: 85|92 They're among the best paid in NJ, which means the best paid in the nation.

Extracurriculars: 10|92. We spend less than 81 out of 91 peer districts. No wonder our kids hate school! We're taking their school enrichment experience and giving it to overpaid teachers and maintenance workers.
