Concern about the costs of illegal alien school children may be heightened because education costs are high and the illegal immigrant population is thought to be large.
According to NCES, for the 1999–2000 school year, current expenditures by primary and secondary public schools—not including capital outlays totaled about $324 billion. Capital outlays in that school year—for facilities acquisition and construction—were an additional $35 billion. These costs were borne primarily at state and local levels; federal dollars represented about 7 percent of school revenue.
