In fiscal year 2002, the District had the
highest administrative costs of the comparable districts we reviewed, largely
due to significantly higher consultant and travel costs, and more
administrators. The District’s classroom dollar percentage was 43.9 percent,
while the state-wide average was 58.2 percent. Additionally, the District’s
food service program cost $160,000 more to operate than it recovered, reducing
the dollars available for spending in the classroom. However, the District’s
transportation costs appeared reasonable given the number of route miles
driven and students transported. Further, its Proposition 301 monies were
spent appropriately.
