Comparative cost per pupil is NJDOE's published measure. Operating revenue and high-level use shares use proposed operating budget as the denominator unless noted. UFB planning enrollment can differ from fall enrollment on district profiles. Side-file counts summarize indexed latest-year rows, not audited financial statement totals.
