New Jersey Taxpayers Are Being Misled About Per-Pupil Costs
Every year, New Jerseyans get to vote directly on one and only one spending plan – their local school budget. Research developed by the Common Sense Institute of New Jersey details how voters are confused, overpromised and outright misled before they walk into the voting booth. Years of legislative and gubernatorial decisions as to how to best compare the spending of school districts have been overly generous in their attempts to be fair to the districts, and as a result have lessened the level on honesty with the taxpayers footing the bill.
“School districts spend more per pupil than they are reporting to the public—a lot more,” said CSI-NJ President Jerry Cantrell. “In 105 districts the difference was at least $3,000 per student, and audit data show that at least 14 districts spend more than $20,000 per student. The biggest spenders are not just in our biggest cities, either. ”
Prior to school budget votes, districts are required to publish a User-Friendly Budget (UFB). The confusion comes in the form of the district’s reported “per-pupil expenditure”, which is the amount a district claims it will spend to educate the “average” student. The User-Friendly Budget does not include all spending items, only those spent by virtually every district.
Governor Christie and the Department of Education improved the situation earlier this year with the introduction of the Taxpayers’ Guide to Educational Spending, which includes more spending categories. Districts spend an average of $3,500 more per student according to the Taxpayers’ Guide than the User-Friendly Budget, and large differences exist in districts of different size, socioeconomic status and location, which should alert taxpayers as to the widespread nature of the problem.
However, even this improved measure is not all-encompassing. For example, the Taxpayers Guide reports that Asbury Park spent $29,819 per student in 2010, compared to the $26,782 proclaimed by the revised User-Friendly Budget, but the 2010 audit of Asbury Park revealed spending to be more than $39,000 per student. This is not just a problem in our urban districts, as evidenced by the fact Sea Isle City spent $40,000 per student in 2010, according to their audit. That is more than $14,000 greater than the Taxpayers’ Guide and $7,400 more per student than in their revised User-Friendly Budget.
School districts do not deserve all the blame; they are merely abiding by the laws and regulations put forth by the legislature and Department of Education. However, districts should be held responsible when they fail to meet per-pupil projections, which is highly likely in the upcoming year.
In 2010, just 146 school districts (27 percent of those studied) identified an actual per-pupil cost reduction. However, 451 districts (82 percent) told the public they expect to reduce per-pupil costs this coming year. Contracts protecting teachers’ jobs and declining enrollment in districts makes this highly unlikely, but taxpayers will have long forgotten the promise by the time the actual numbers come in next year.
“Declining enrollments and contractual obligations make it very unlikely 82% of districts will spend less per student this year than they did last year, but the law allows this type of forecasting to proceed. Taxpayers should be deeply troubled and question their own school districts by reviewing local audits to see the spending for themselves,” said CSI-NJ Economics Fellow Mark “Jay” Williams, the report’s author.
“Taxpayers are misled before they head into the voting booth, presented with incomplete information and then given a sunny prediction for next year’s spending. We hope this report sheds light on the problem. We also ask that our government adopt legislation based on the model contained in Misleading the Taxpayer to make per-pupil spending figures more comprehensive and enable voters to easily sort through their local audits to ensure that the information presented to them is accurate. In a state that spends more than almost any other on K–12 education, this is the bare minimum we should be asking of Trenton. As a former school board president, I know firsthand how boards can be influenced by politics, which is part of the reason New Jerseyans need greater transparency from their local school boards. We should mandate statements from independent auditors that next year’s spending projections are reasonable, include all expenses in a school district’s per-pupil expenditure figure and develop a certified productivity measure that integrates outcomes data and is included on all education reports and in your local property tax bill, be online and easily searchable. All of this is affordable and necessary to ensure local governments are functioning properly. It is simply a matter of reorienting Trenton’s policy to hold transparency to the taxpayer as the highest maxim and just plain common sense in today’s world.” Cantrell concluded.

As noted in page 10 of Misleading the Taxpayer: The Per-Pupil Expenditure Dilemma, the definitions of the various categories are:
New Jersey School Report Card (RC): A 1995 state law mandates this report, which “presents thirty-five fields of information for each school in the following categories: school environment, students, student performance indicators, staff, and district finances.” Among other statistics, the Report Card presents both comparative costs and total costs per pupil. The comparative measure includes expenditure categories representative of districts of similar budget type, and the total measure includes all comparative costs and tuition expenditures, transportation, other current expenses, equipment, facilities/acquisition, and restricted expenses. This measure routinely underestimates per-pupil costs, and should be used by taxpayers with extreme caution See http://education.state.nj.us/rc/rc10/menu/01.html.
Taxpayers’ Guide to Education Spending (TG): This report was formerly called the Comparative Spending Guide (CSG). Its Total Spending Per Pupil metric, which is new in 2011, provides a more inclusive picture of district expenditures by factoring in state expenditures on behalf of the districts, Budgetary Per Pupil Cost, pension and Social Security payments, capital outlays, debt service, judgments, and special revenues (e.g., preschool, Title I, and IDEA). While failing to always depict accurate per-pupil costs for all school districts, this is the best tool currently available to taxpayers. See http://www.state.nj.us/education/guide/2011/district.shtml.
User-Friendly Budget (UFB): School districts prepare this statute-defined report, which is a short-form accounting of major revenue and expenditure categories and the primary method for communicating budget information to the public. The document “requires officials in each school district to place a ‘user-friendly’ summary of their proposed budget on the district’s website (if one exists) following the public hearing on the budget and prior to the school election in April.” After the election, a final user-friendly summary of the final budget must be posted on both the district’s website and the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) website. The budget communicates the advertised per-pupil cost calculations for each school district and includes the 2008 actual, 2009 actual, 2010 original, 2010 revised, and 2011 proposed budgets. In an effort to compare districts uniformly, this measure has been the primary tool responsible for misleading taxpayers.See http://www.state.nj.us/cgi-bin/education/finance/budgets.pl.
Review Your District’s Independent Audit
All New Jersey school districts must undergo an annual independent audit by a state-approved Registered School Accountant (RSA). Similar to the audits required of private companies, this document is a comprehensive review of school district revenue, expenditure and capital transactions, that will provide the reader with a broad perspective of how a school district allocates resources. The Common Sense Institute of New Jersey recommends that all interested taxpayers review their respective school district audits, and utilize this document to ask targeted questions of their school board and district officials. All 2010 audits are available at this link.
