TRANSPARENCY MEANS ACCESS AND UNDERSTANDING

Education stakeholders at every level—legislators, educators, tax payers, and more—should be able to quickly and easily access and understand school funding and spending data.

What fund sources or grants make up this school or district budget?

In order to better understand school-level budgets and spending, it's important to unpack the make-up of revenue. Some grant funds are targeted state or federal grants intended to address supplemental needs of special populations like Special Education students and English language learners. It's critical to:

  • Make sure these funds are reaching the intended students
  • Understand which dollars have tight spending restrictions
  • See where ESSER dollars fit relative to the rest of the budget

How much of ESSER dollars have been spent, budgeted, or remain for future use?

ESSER dollars are rare in that LEAs will receive the full amount in a lump sum, but have 3-4 years to budget and spend them. This is an opportunity for LEAs to get creative, but also a challenge to spend at the right place.
