SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 153(a)(1)(I) of the Education 
Sciences Reform Act of 2002, 20 U.S.C. 9543(a)(1)(I), which authorizes 
NCES to gather data on the financing and management of education, NCES 
collects data annually from SEAs through ED Form 2447. The report from 
SEAs includes attendance, revenue, and expenditure data from which NCES 
determines a State's ``average per-pupil expenditure'' (SPPE) for 
elementary and secondary education, as defined in section 8101(2) of 
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA) 
(20 U.S.C. 7801(2)).
    In addition to using the SPPE data as general information on the 
financing of elementary and secondary education, the Secretary uses 
these data directly in calculating allocations for certain formula 
grant programs, including, but not limited to, title I, part A, of the 
ESEA, Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs. Other programs, such 
as the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program under title 
VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and the Student 
Support and Academic Enrichment Grants under title IV, part A of the 
ESEA make use of SPPE data indirectly because their formulas are based, 
in whole or in part, on State title I, part A, allocations.
    In January 2020, the Census Bureau, acting as the data collection 
agent for NCES, will email ED Form 2447 to SEAs, with instructions, and 
will request that SEAs commence submitting FY 2019 data to the Census 
Bureau on Thursday, January 30, 2020. SEAs are urged to submit accurate 
and complete data by Friday, March 27, 2020, to facilitate timely 
processing.
    Submissions by SEAs to the Census Bureau will be analyzed for 
accuracy and returned to each SEA for verification. SEAs must submit 
all data, including any revisions to FY 2018 and FY 2019 data, to the 
Census Bureau no later than Friday, August 14, 2020. Any resubmissions 
of FY 2018 or FY 2019 data by SEAs in response to requests for 
clarification or reconciliation or other inquiries by NCES or the 
Census Bureau must be completed by Tuesday, September 8, 2020. Between 
August 14, 2020, and September 8, 2020, SEAs may also, on their own 
initiative, resubmit data to resolve issues not addressed in their 
final submission of NPEFS data by August 13, 2020. All outstanding data 
issues must be reconciled or resolved by the SEAs, NCES, and the Census 
Bureau as soon as possible, but no later than September 8, 2020.
    In order to facilitate timely submission of data, the Census Bureau 
will send reminder notices to SEAs in June and July of 2020.
    Having accurate, consistent, and timely information is critical to 
an efficient and fair Department of Education (Department) allocation 
process and to the NCES statistical process. To ensure timely 
distribution of Federal education funds based on the best, most 
accurate data available, the Department establishes, for program 
funding allocation purposes, Friday, August 14, 2020, as the final date 
by which the SEAs must submit data using either the interactive survey 
form on the NPEFS data collection website at: https://surveys.nces.ed.gov/ccdnpefs or ED Form 2447.
    Any resubmissions of FY 2018 or FY 2019 data by SEAs in response to 
requests for clarification or reconciliation or other inquiries by NCES 
or the Census Bureau must be completed through the interactive survey 
form on the NPEFS data collection website or ED Form 2447 by Tuesday, 
September 8, 2020. If an SEA submits revised data after the final 
deadline that result in a lower SPPE figure, the SEA's allocations may 
be adjusted downward, or the Department may direct the SEA to return 
funds. SEAs should be aware that all of these data are subject to audit 
and that, if any inaccuracies are discovered in the audit process, the 
Department may seek recovery of overpayments for the applicable 
programs.

process for FY 2019 data and revisions to reports for previous 
fiscal years:
