Instruction expenditures per pupil is the total of instructional expenditures divided by the fall membership as reported in the state finance file. According to the NCES, "current instruction expenditures include expenditures for activities related to the interaction between teachers and students, including salaries and benefits for teachers and teacher aides, textbooks, supplies, and purchased services. These expenditures also include expenditures relating to extracurricular and co-curricular activities."
