According to the Foundation approximately 50.5 of the current expenditures in the Beaver School District during 1984-8- 5 went for Instructional purposes, 27.2 for plant operation and maintenance, 10.3 for local administration, 4.8 for pupil services (Including transfor Instructional portation), 2.3 staff services, and 4.8 for other purposes. The Foundation report shows that there Is considerable variation among Utah's 40 school districts as to how school funds are spent. The proportion of current expenditures going for instructional purposes, tor example, varied all the way from 48.1 in one district to 73.1 in another, while the percent expended for administration ranges from 6.3 to 14.9. Overall, more than 65 of local school expenditures for current operations in Utah last year went for Instructional purposes.
