How was this calculated?
The total expenditures amount is calculated by adding Department expenditures, plus other costs spent on behalf of the Department.
Other costs spent on behalf of the Department include the following:
State of Hawaii Fringe: Employer "fringe" benefit costs paid centrally by the State of Hawaii for all State departments.
Note: For Public Charter Schools, the expenditures used were reported by the Public Charter Schools and the Hawaii State Public Charter School Commission ("Commission"). State of Hawaii fringe was assumed to be included in the amounts reported by the Public Charter Schools and Commission.
