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.
