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. A previous package
cleared in April 2023 approved data collection for FY 2022, 2023, and 2024 (OMB# 1850-0930 v.4). This request included considerable
modifications to the previous package, most important of which was the proposal for NCES to assist the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) with
collecting school level finance data as part of the Civil Right Data Collection (CRDC), resulting in the establishment of SLFS as a
mandatory data collection. This package contains documentation and materials for the incremental action plan that will allow NCES to
conduct in 2023 through 2025 the SLFS for fiscal years 2022 through 2024 (corresponding to school years 2021/22 through 2023/24), and
to bring on board a number of states that had previously not participated in the SLFS. NCES staff members carefully considered comments
and recommendations on the SLFS incremental action plan, particularly pertaining to providing sufficient “ramp-up” time for state and
district level personnel to submit school-level finance data. The incremental action plan requires SEAs to report total current expenditures
for each public PK-12 school within the state for school year 2021-22; and SEAs to report total current expenditures by four subfunctions
and three exhibits for school years 2022-23 and 2023-24.
As part of the public comment process, NCES received a number of comments from stakeholders and members of the general public. The
responses to comments that were received during the 60-day public comment period were included in the package as Appendix D. NCES
received an additional batch of comments during the 30-day public comment period. This change request is to add the responses to those
30-day comments, as found in the attached document Appendix D2, to the official public record for this package. This change involves no
changes to the respondent burden or the cost to the federal government.
