The National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) is an annual collection of state-level finance data that has been
included in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) since FY 1982 (school year 1981-82). NPEFS provides function
expenditures by salaries, benefits, purchased services, and supplies, and includes federal, state, and local revenues by source.
The NPEFS collection includes data on all state-run schools from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, the
Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. NPEFS data are used for a wide variety of purposes,
including to calculate federal program allocations such as states’ “average per-pupil expenditure” (SPPE) for elementary and
secondary education, certain formula grant programs (e.g. Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of
1965 (ESEA) as amended, Impact Aid, and Indian Education programs). Furthermore, in addition to using the SPPE data as
general information on the financing of elementary and secondary education, the U.S. Department of Education 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. NCES’s request to conduct the annual collection of state-level finance data
for FY 2019-2021 was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in August 2019 (OMB# 1850-0067 v.17). This
memorandum requests changes to the National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) data collection. As a direct result of
the COVID-19 circumstances, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is requesting to: (1) amend the instructions
for Average Daily Attendance (ADA) on NPEFS; (2) obtain approval to send a letter to Chief State School Officers (CSSOs) and
State Fiscal Coordinators pertaining to ADA; (3) amend the data plan for NPEFS; (4) add certain data items to NPEFS; (5)
make other small changes to FY 20 NPEFS, based on regular communication with state fiscal coordinators; and (6) change the
estimated respondent burden and the costs to the federal government incurred by the above changes.
