In 2006-07, the School District of Bruce’s total expenditures/student
($11,042/student) slightly exceeded the total expenditures/student figure for
the average of all State of Wisconsin school districts ($10,933/student) by
+$109/student or +1.0%.
The Project Consultants concluded that the School District of Bruce’s total
expenditures/student have moderately escalated over the nine year span of
time from 1996-97 to 2006-07—from below State average to above State
average—suggesting an increasing level of cost/ineffectiveness. This trend
will continue/worsen as the organization’s enrollment continues to decline.
Table 6-LH reports that Ladysmith-Hawkins School District’s total
expenditures/student in 1996-97 was $7,688/student, an amount that was
+$353/student or +4.8% greater than the State of Wisconsin average figure
($7,335/student) in that year.
