Title of Collection: Common Core of
Data (CCD) School-Level Finance
Survey (SLFS) 2021–2023.
OMB Control Number: 1850–0930.
Type of Review: A 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.
