The charts were prepared by the Utah Foundation from data released by the U. S. office of Education. Utah Foundation reports will be sent without charge to any Interested citizen of Utah upon request directed to the Utah Four dstlon, 400 Darling Blda., Salt Lake City U Utah's expenditure for public schools In 1949-50 was equivalent to $5,172.88 per teacher unit, (total current operating op-erating expenditure divided by number of teachers), slightly above the national average of $5,093.15. Utah was 20th among the 48 states in expenditure per teacher and third among the eight mountain states. Unit cost based upon the number of teachers rather than upon the number num-ber of pupils reduces the distortion resulting from high per-pupil costs in one-teacher schools. The expenditure per teacher unit is therefore a more meaningful measura of the quantity and quality of school opportunity than is the comparison of the expenditure per pupil of states with radically diffeernt degrees of efficiency la school adminit UOUya costs, x |
