Buckeye Union High School District

In 2002, the District used its Proposition 301 monies to substantially increase its average teacher salary and, although still below the state average of 58.2 percent, increased its percentage of dollars spent in the classroom from 48.3 percent to 51.2 percent. However, the District’s food service costs were above the average of comparable districts, reducing the dollars available for spending in the classroom, and its lack of proper documentation hampers its management of the transportation program.
