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). SLFS complements two existing data collections
conducted by NCES in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau
(Census): the School District Finance Survey (F-33) and the
state-level National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS).
SLFS expands F-33 to include its finance variables at the school
level. Beginning with FY18, the SEAs will report total current
expenditures at the school level in the same manner as for the
district level on F-33. This request is to conduct in 2019 through
2021 SLFS for fiscal years 2018 through 2020 (corresponding to
school years 2017/18 through 2019/20) and to expand the collected
data to be analogous to the current ESSA expenditures per pupil
provision.
