School Budget Research

Hello All,

I'm trying to put together some research comparing US schools to other international schools in the way they spend their money and are funded. However, I'm having a really hard time finding resources and was wondering if anyone would be willing to help?

Basically, I'm looking for a school district's detailed annual budget. I'd like to get something from Ontario, Quebec (two US similar areas), something from France, a German State, Japan, and the Netherlands. I know this isn't super representative, but I chose them as contrasts in their general culture, approach, and overall outcomes. Ideally, to keep things at least comparable, I'd like to pull from urban areas, not mixing rural and urban. This is also to get past weird outlier issues as, at least in the US, urban schools tend to be unified school districts with larger student populations, so more statistically closer to "normal" spending and funding habits.

I'd like to be able to contrast everything as it relates to spending per student to level out for overall size. I am looking to be able to collect number of students, teachers, and administrators, total budget, annual food services budget, transportation budget, and total teacher compensation. If possible, getting the minimum and maximum teacher salary would be ideal as well.

I'm looking to be able to put together a video on this when complete to share my findings. Is anyone able to help?
