Where does the money go?
This is EPP's analysis of Expense Budget Estimate adopted
by the NYC Board of Education on 8/21/96, including state
aid appropriations subsequent to the adoption of the FY
‘96 city budget. This budget does not include pension
or debt service payments. Fringes are shown as a separate
allocation in the BOE budget, similar to the practice of
other agencies in the city. EPP has reallocated these fringe
costs in order to provide a more understandable analysis
of the distribution of resources in the public school system.
