The Education Bill Costs Rise in Public Schools
The United States spends a record 25.2 billion dollars on compulsory education for all children to age 16, with average per pupil costs rising. Elementary and high school costs vary by region, led by the Middle Atlantic and followed by the West Coast, while the South Central region shows the lowest spending. Growth is driven by expanded federal requirements and teacher unionization, and the aim is to maintain teaching quality despite higher expenses.
