The Relationship of School Size and Rate of School Plant Utilization to Cost Variations of Maintenance and Operation
McGuffey, Carroll W.; Brown, Carvin L.
American Educational Research Journal, 15, 3, 373-8, Sum 78
The effects of school size and school plant utilization on pupil costs of maintenance and operation (M & O) in a large city school system in the South were investigated. School size is significantly and negatively related to pupil costs of M & O. Utilization rate, computed by dividing average daily attendance by the design capacity of the school plant, has a similar and stronger cost impact. (Author/CP)
