Report No. HEHS-00-41
Subject
Summary:

Annual spending on elementary and secondary school construction rose by 39 percent in fiscal years 1991-97 to about $25 billion. Most of the increase was for the construction of buildings; spending on land and portable classrooms showed a net decline. Most contract spending was for new facilities and additions to existing facilities rather than renovations. Average annual construction expenditures per pupil ranged from $934 in Nevada to $37 in Connecticut. States with the largest expenditures per pupil tended to have the highest enrollment growth rates and vice versa. Although the largest source of funding for school construction is generally local construction bonds, nationwide data on how the amounts and the portions of funds are divided between states and localities are unavailable. Most states combine state and local funding to support school construction, but 15 states provided little or no funding in 1998-99.
