| Abstract | Evidence suggests that accountability and financial pressures are causing schools across the country to reduce investments in subject areas that are not assessed for accountability purposes. However, due to the design of financial reporting systems in most states, inadequate data are available to analyze spending levels and patterns for specific subject areas that may help to shed light on the magnitude and ramifications of these actions. This article presents the findings of an in-depth analysis of expenditures for music education programs in a large suburban school district by breaking down the spending for music programs by school, object, and program area--such as general, instrumental, or choral music. The findings show district expenditures for music instruction comprised only about 1.6% of the district's total operating budget. The source of most spending for music, 90%, was the district's general fund. Nearly 90% of spending was for instructional staff salaries and benefits. While per pupil spending varied significantly from school to school, student characteristics such as poverty or minority status had little influence on this variation. Instead, factors such as total school spending, teacher education and experience, and music participation drove differences in school spending levels. (Contains 9 tables and 7 footnotes.)
