Title of Collection: Common Core of Data (CCD) School-Level Finance
Survey (SLFS) 2021-2023.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0930.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 306.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,938.
Abstract: NCES annually publishes comprehensive data on the
finances of public elementary/secondary schools through the Common Core
of Data (CCD). For numerous years, these data have been released at the
state level through the National Public Education Financial Survey
(NPEFS) (OMB#1850-0067) and at the school district level through the
Local Education Agency (School District) Finance Survey (F-33). (OMB#
0607-0700). There is a significant demand for finance data at the
school level. Policymakers, researchers, and the public have long
voiced concerns about the equitable distribution of school funding
within and across school districts. School-level finance data addresses
the need for reliable and unbiased measures that can be utilized to
compare how resources are distributed among schools within local
districts. Education expenditure data are now available at the school
level through the School-Level Finance Survey (SLFS). The School-Level
Finance Survey (SLFS) data collection is conducted annually by the
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S.
Department of Education (ED). In November of 2018, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approved changes to the SLFS wherein
variables have been added to make the SLFS directly analogous to the F-
33 Survey and to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provisions on
reporting expenditures per-pupil at the local education agency (LEA)
and school-level. This request is to collect SLFS data for FY 2021,
2022, and 2023.
