1These figures show public expenditures on education programs which prepare individuals for gainful employment which does not require a baccalaureate degree.
2Secondary includes monies that are currently managed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI).
3Post-secondary includes monies currently managed by the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC), and the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board's Job Skills Program. In 1999, the Job Skills Program was transferred to SBCTC.

Note: Expenditures for the technical colleges were reported by SBCTC rather than SPI. This accounts for most of the difference in post-secondary expenditures.
