Where does the money go?
This is EPP's analysis of Expense
Budget Estimate adopted by the NYC Board of Education on
8/23/00, including state aid appropriations subsequent to
the adoption of the FY ‘00 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.
