- Summary:
-
Four selected aspects of school finance in 1,750 rural counties (1,199 multi-district and 551 single district) located in 44 states were examined: (1) annual salaries of instructional staffs; (2) total per pupil expenditures, in average daily attendance; (3) expenditures for pupil transportation; and (4) relationships between school salaries and family incomes. Total distribution ranges and central tendencies, by states and geographic areas, were included to show the financial picture concerning rural school salaries and per pupil expenditures. Based on the 1950 Census data, the multi-district and single-district counties were grouped into the most rural and the least rural. Among the findings were: the average annual salary of the instructional staffs in the rural county school systems was $3,123 in 1955-56; for the most rural counties, the average annual salary was $2,882 and $3,218 for the least rural counties; for the smallest cities (2,500-9,999 population), the average annual salary was $4,034 and $5,068 for the largest cities (25,000 or more); the average annual rural school salaries paid in the states or regions were almost invariably higher than the average annual incomes of the families living within the same states or regions; of the average total expenditure per pupil per annum, an average of $21 went for pupil transportation; and the average for pupil transportation for the most rural school systems was nearly 7 times that for the most urban school systems.
