K - 12 education 40% Higher education 12% (between the two, that's over half of the state budget. How typical is this across the nation?) Health & Human Services 29% Corrections and Rehabilitation 10% Business, Transportation and housing 3% (Caltrans also has another source of funding, which is independent of the budget) Legislative, Judicial, Executive 2% All other spending 4% There is a pie chart on Benoit's newsletter http://cssrc.us/%28X%281%29A%28rlGjf...ookieSupport=1 If the link doesn't work, search for Benoit Bulletin July 2009 |

New York, which spends the most, has a drop out rate which varies depending on who's doing the calculating:

Utah, which spends the least per pupil in the nation, has a graduation rate of 88%. Utah State Office of Education release entitled 2008 Graduation Rate [ http://www.schools.utah.gov/assessme...Rates_2008.pdf ] ** Arizona, which is 49th for per pupil spending, has an overall graduation rate of 69% [ http://www.all4ed.org/files/Arizona_wc.pdf ], Yet there is a 77% graduation rate in the Mesa Unified School District, which the New York Times declared to be the best of any large city (in the US) [ http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/ed...22dropout.html ] ** California has a graduation rate of 68.3% in 2008, according to the state of California [ http://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr09/yr09rel073.asp ] It's hard to find a hard figure concerning cost per pupil in California.
