Challenge Concerning Schools Maximize Results What you can put in: over 60 cubic feet. Put the rear seat down and there's From Expenditures Utah is faced with the particular challenge of obtaining maximum results from the expenditure of available funds for education. This was the point brought out by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, in their latest analysis of public school comparisons and trends. According to the Foundation study, Utah ranks very high in its educational load and very low in its ability to finance education. Consequently, the effort put forth by Utah to support public education is considerably above regional and national averages. Despite Effort Despite the superior effort made to support education, Utah ranks relatively low in the amount expended per school child. This, of course, is due to the large number of children in the state to be educated, and the relatively low financial ability of its people. The Foundation report emphasizes that per pupil expenditures are not always a good measure of financial or educational adequacy quality. It cited examples in Utah where per pupil expenditures in isolated rural districts are several times those in the larger urban districts. It concluded that differences in organizational efficiency, population concentration, geographic characteristics, special pupil problems, and prevailing wage and salary levels are all factors that may account for per pupil cost variations among districts as well as among states. In the past, Utah has enjoyed a comparative advantage over other states in the relative efficiency of its school system. The study notes, however, that during recent years this advantage has narrowed as other states have made rapid strides in the consolidation of school districts and the elimination of small, inefficient, but expensive schools. Utah, on the other hand, has not made any substantial organizational improvements in district organization in more than half a century. The Foundation report observes that various study groups over the years have urged further consolidation of school districts in Utah. Recent developments have stressed the need for greater accountability in the evaluation of public school performance. Advocates of this accountability movement hope to establish tests and guides that will measure educational output or performance and weigh this against the amount expended to obtain such results. In analyzing the reasons for this expenditure increase, the foundation indicates that 36 percent of the rise is accounted for by enrollment increases and the decreased purchasing power of the dollar. The remaining 64 percent of the expenditure rise is attributed to other factors, such as improved salary levels, reduced class size, broadened services and special programs for students, more supervisory and guidance personnel, and the cost of social security and for retirement programs teachers. Recently, there has been a leveling off in Utah school is This enrollments. primarily the result of a decline in one-hal- million or four-fift- h of the ex- penditure rise was for current operations. rates birth s. that occurred in the During the past two or three years, however, there has been a renewed upsurge in Utah birth rate. Foundation analysts warn that this sudden increase in Utah births probably will result in another rise in Utah school enrollments during the latter half of the 1970 decade. mid-196- Foundation analysts point out that total school expenditures in Utah have risen by $190 million since 1950, an increase of six f times over the past and 21 years.
