Tanque Verde Unified School
District (August 2003) |

In fiscal year 2002, the District had fewer
administrators per student than the comparable districts, resulting in slightly
lower administrative costs per student. The District’s plant operation and
maintenance costs were lower than the comparable districts', with the District
spending less per square foot and having significantly fewer square feet of
building space per student. However, the District’s current low plant costs will
likely increase when the high school campus opens. Primarily because of its
current below-average plant costs, the District’s classroom dollar percentage
was 60.7 percent, 2.5 percent higher than the state-wide average. The District’s
food service program, although operating efficiently, has been losing money and
will need increased meal prices to return to break-even status. The District’s
student transportation program costs were reasonable, but the District needs to
properly report the number of eligible students transported. Finally, the
District’s Proposition 301 monies were spent appropriately.
