Budget Summary
Per Pupil Costs

As you experiment with the District Resource Allocation Modeler's (DREAM's) various strategies for improved performance, you can view several different summaries of key resource indicators, operating budget, and per pupil expenditures.
  • Budget Summary — The Budget Summary page displays the district's budget detail based the options you have selected on all previous screens.  All categories on the Budget Summary report display your base case and redesigned values, as well as the difference between them.

  • Per Pupil Costs — The Per Pupil Costs page summarizes total spending for the district and measures how options chosen on previous pages affect spending for particular student types and programs at the Elementary, Middle, and High School levels.
