DescriptionThis study investigates school district athletic expenditures as a consequence of local taxpayer demand. A data set was created of all New Jersey school districts for a five year period, 2001-2005. The data included each school district’s demographic and educational spending information. Income was not an important predictor of athletic spending. Abbott districts spent significantly (p<.01) less than non-Abbott districts spent per pupil on athletics. District factor group A had the lowest per pupil athletic expenditures of all the district factor groups. District factor groups GH, I, and J had the highest per pupil athletic expenditures, spending significantly (p<.01) more than district factor group A spent per pupil on athletics. Asians favored significant (p<.01) increases in total education spending but favored significant (p<.05) decreases in athletic spending. African Americans favored significant (p<.01) increases in total education spending but were negatively associated with athletic spending. Hispanics were negatively associated with total education spending and favored significant (p<.01) decreases in athletic spending. Elderly persons favored significant (p<.01) decreases in total education spending but were positively associated with athletic spending. Tax share was significantly (p<.01) related to less total education spending but was positively associated with increased athletic spending. The data suggest that school district athletic expenditures are a consequence of local taxpayer demand.
