The Census reports one month’s payroll (March); yearly figures are that month × 12, an estimate. Part-timers count half in the bar lengths.
Kansas Public Schools
Kansas’ K–12 school district. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $14,383 per pupil, $8,047 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.
