It is important to know how much it costs to educate each student. To do this, Rhode Island uses a Uniform Chart of Accounts. This Uniform Chart of Accounts (UCOA) allows our schools and districts to compare how much they spend per student on instruction, leadership and operations, to name a few. This per-pupil amount is calculated by dividing average daily membership into total expenditures. The per-pupil amount calculation includes actual personnel expenditures and actual nonpersonnel expenditures. The ESSA report card does not include the following spending in the per pupil calculations.
