Teachers' Retirement includes Retired Teachers' Health Insurance and Retired Teachers' Group Life Insurance.

Includes General Obligation debt service and Maine Governmental Facilities Authority debt service, but does not include debt service for court facilities until FY 2010, when that debt service was segregated into a separate program.

⁴

Medicaid/MaineCare and General Purpose Aid for Local Schools exclude some Personal Services expenditures that would normally be included, but are excluded here to avoid double counting the amounts in Personal Services. Medicaid administrative costs are also not included here.
