What changed from 2019 to 2024?
Montana school finance after inflation.
Follow a consistent set of 200 systems across all six Census years. Dollar changes are converted with the national CPI-U annual average so a nominal increase is not mistaken for a real increase.
School finance: U.S. Census Bureau Annual Survey of School System Finances · inflation adjustment: BLS CPI-U series CUUR0000SA0, annual U.S. city average. This is a purchasing-power comparison, not a performance grade or local cost-of-living estimate.
