\2\Data not comparable to figures prior to 1989-90. \3\Plant operation also includes plant maintenance. \4\Prior to 1959-60, items included under "other school services" were listed under "auxiliary services," a more comprehensive classification that also included community services. \5\Prior to 1959-60, data shown for adult education represent combined expenditures for adult education, summer schools, and community colleges. \6\Prior to 1969-70, excludes capital outlay by state and local school housing authorities. \7\Less than 0.05 percent. ---Data not available. NOTE.--Beginning in 1959-60, includes Alaska and Hawaii. Beginning in 1989-90, state administration expenditures were excluded from both "total" and "current" expenditures.
