Rob,
Thanks for pointing this out. You are the second person who asked that.
Excel defaults to a certain sized text for the School axis; and it dropped
every second school in order to have large print. I elected not to change
that -- so that it is legible.
But here's the same graph with a) all the school's names showing (sorry for
the small print), and b) ordered by Admin spending.
Admiin Costs <http://courtneys.us/msd/images/Admin.jpg>
Also, here is the same graph of what has been spent on Instruction:
Instruction Spending <http://courtneys.us/msd/images/Instruction.jpg>
Please let me know if that makes more sense.
I appreciate the dialog over these facts.
Best,
Dale
