 The information presented in columns 1 through 3 as well as the related descriptions of the per pupil cost calculations
 are contained in the 2012 Taxpayers' Guide to Education Spending (formerly Comparative Spending Guide) and can be found 
 on the Department of Education's Internet address: http://www.state.nj.us/ education under Finance, when available.  This 
 publication is available in the board office and public libraries.  The same calculations were performed using the 2011-12
 revised appropriations and 2012-13 budgeted appropriations presented in this advertised budget.  Total Budgetary Comparative
 Per Pupil Cost is defined as current expense exclusive of tuition expenditures, transportation, residential costs, and
 judgments against the school district. For all years, it also includes the restricted entitlement aids.  With the exception
 of Total Equipment Cost, each of the other per pupil cost calculations presented is a component of the total Budgetary
 comparative per pupil cost, although all components are not shown.
