Note: Charter transfer not shown in graph. A significant value was reported for charter transfers for 2013 only ($361 million), but not for previous years, even though such a transfer existed. All dollars are adjusted to their national mean value and in constant 1999 (year) dollars. That is, they are adjusted for both regional variation and inflation. Years indicate the latter year of each school year, e.g., 2013 represents the school year from 2012 to 2013.
