BCS’s PPE is $8,300 (compared to $8,200 for the state; Figure 7.1-10). The PPE, which is a key indicator, is the annual cost per student and can be difficult to project based on the averagedaily attendance rate, which is taken in October. PPE shows fiscal stewardship on the part of the district as long as achievement results improve. BCS has an action plan to decrease PPE; decreasing or maintaining PPE, especially during inflationarytimes or market volatility, is considered good by the district, which assumes decreases or maintenance result from efficiencyachievement that does not adversely affect student learning
and support.
