PHOENIX Arizona schools continue to increase the amount of each dollars they spend on instruction.
But it s still less than in 2001 when the state began to monitor this metric.
A new report Monday finds the average school system was spending 54.9% of its cash on instruction last academic year. That includes teachers, aides, substitutes, general instructional supplies, field trips and athletics.
By contrast, that figure dropped as low as 53.5% in the 2015-2016 school years.
At the other extreme, instructional spending was as high as 58.6% in the early 2000s. And it was 57.7% when the state first ran the report.
That 54.9% figure, however, does not paint the whole picture.

A number of apprentices at Newark and Sherwood District Council are celebrating after securing permanent roles.
Callum Scrimshaw, Oliver Wilson, Lindsey Berry and Lauren Anthony, alongside many more apprentices, have worked above and beyond in the past year, which has led to them being offered full-time contacts.
Although not all apprenticeships result in permanent roles, some apprentices are kept on thanks to opportunities that become available.

LACKAWANNA COUNTY, Pa. The only way Dunmore High School basketball fans can watch games this year is on a live stream on YouTube. Obviously, we re so grateful to actually have a season, but it s still tough because they don t have their fans there to support them, said Dunmore cheerleading coach Lindsey Perry.
That s why Perry took on a two-dimensional project.
When the Bucks and Lady Bucks kicked off their season this past week, their friends and family were in the stands, just in cardboard form.
