Dungannon’s K–12 school district, shared with Clinchport, Duffield, Gate City, Nickelsville, Weber City. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $14,182 per pupil, $7,313 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.

How Town Hall compares budgets →Day-to-day spending is down 100% since 2022
Day-to-day services, in dollars, in the years Dungannon reported to the Census Bureau. Prices rose too: about 4% a year in 2022–2024.
Day-to-day spending by fiscal year
Per resident: 2022: $0 · 2024: $0.
Building projects, interest and enterprises (hospital, utilities) are left out, so a big construction year doesn’t read as growth.
