The tables below show comparisons in
Nevada as well as New York for spending in percentages in FY 2010 while taking
a closer look at spending on education. The first pie chart shows spending at
state level for Nevada health care is highest at 21% with education at 17%. The
second chart observes local spending, and there is a sharp decrease in health
care spending to 6%, and an increase in education to 28%.
Then when looking at New York is FY
2010 health care at state level is much higher than Nevada’s at 37%, however
education is 7% than Nevada. Next, New York’s when observing local spending in
comparison to Nevada, the highest percent in spending is also education at 34%.
Now what is interesting is comparing where the revenue
comes from for Nevada and New York for education. It shows that at local level
New York spends more local revenue than almost all other states which explains
why health care takes a hit in comparison to their state spending where health
care is much higher. Then Nevada is the opposite, where their state revenue is
much higher and as a result they rely more on state revenue for education.
Although these do not take into account high or low income states, it is
interesting to see the comparison in the US Cenus per-pupil spending where New
York is almost at $18,000 per-pupil spending, and Nevada is significantly lower
at only half the spending, $9,000. The per-pupil spending shows that Nevada
students receive about the average of around $10,000. It would be intersting to
then compare test scores to see if such a jump makes a significant difference
in a child’s education.
