Of the $14,898 per pupil, $9,112 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.

No comparison or trend for Hayti Heights yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Hayti Heights’ 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
