Using Levin and McEwan's (2001) "ingredients method," this study identified the major activities and associated costs of school levy campaigns in five districts. The ingredients were divided into one of five cost categories--human resources, facilities, fees, marketing, and supplies. As to overall costs of the campaigns, estimates ranged from a low of $9,164-$13,027 (District C) to a high of $121,053-$154,072 (District E). Costs per resident ranged from $1.35-$1.69 (District A) to $2.55-$3.25 (District E). However, costs per student ranged from a low of $6.55-$9.31 (District C) to a high of $17.54-$22.33 (District E). We find that community volunteers--and especially student volunteers--can be a valuable resource in that they incur lower costs than central office campaigns whose administrative salaries drive up opportunity costs.
