Abstract
Summary: Findings indicated a difference in resource expenditure allocations between charter and non-charter schools in several categories: (a) average teacher salary: charter schools had a lower average teacher salary, $49,907, than non-charter schools, $58,272; (b) computer-student ratio: charter schools have less computer availability, 1:4.47, and non-charter 1:7.91; (c) average years of teaching experience: charter schools, 11 years, and non-charter schools, 16 years; (d) core teacher-student ratio: charter schools have five fewer students per teacher than the non-charter schools; (e) elective and specialist, pupil support, and extra help teacher-student ratio: the data show that charter schools have less of these staff than non-charter schools but because of data collection limitations the differences are probably less than indicated because in many cases charter school students were provided services by non-charter school staff that could not be sorted out in the staff allocations.
