 The information presented in columns 1 through 3 as well as the related =
descriptions of the per pupil cost calculations
 are contained in the 2008 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 2007-08 =
revised appropriations and 2008-09 budgeted appropriations
 presented in this advertised budget.  Total 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 comparative per =
pupil cost, although all components are not shown.
