Abstract The U.S. Census Bureau plans to request an extension and revision to the current Office of Management and Budget clearance for the Survey of Local Government Finances (School Systems). The Census Bureau collects education finance data as part of its Annual Survey of State and Local Governments. This survey is the only comprehensive source of public fiscal data collected on a nationwide scale using uniform definitions, concepts and procedures. The collection covers the revenues, expenditures, debt, and assets of all public school systems. This data collection has been coordinated with the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). The NCES uses this collection to satisfy its need for school system level finance data. Information on the finance of our public schools is vital to assessing their effectiveness. The products of this data collection make it possible for users to search a single data base to obtain information on such things as per pupil expenditures and the percent of state, local, and Federal funding for each school system. Since the passing of the No Child Left Behind Act there has been an increased demand for data on the Nation’s public schools. This survey provides the needed information on the financial aspects of local school districts. The five forms used in the school finance portion of the survey are: Form F–33. This form contains item descriptions and definitions of the elementary-secondary education finance items collected jointly by the Census Bureau and the NCES. It is used primarily as a worksheet and instruction guide by the state education agencies E:\FR\FM\18NON1.SGM 18NON1
