OKLAHOMA

The Oklahoma report card includes the ability to view all the schools in the state that spend within specific spending bands. To see how spending is arrayed within your district, click on each spending band and find the schools within your district in each band. Once compiled you can create your own comparison.

The Oklahoma report card does not include a feature to compare spending on services with other schools in the district or the state. However, by clicking on the school name you can see how much that school spent per pupil on instruction, salaries, benefits and services. To determine how much your school spends compared to the state and district average, you must gather the information for each school in the district or the state and conduct your own calculation.
