necessary to the proper functions of the 

Department; (2) will this information be 

processed and used in a timely manner; 

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate; 

(4) how might the Department enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

might the Department minimize the 

burden of this collection on the

Title of Collection: Common Core of 

Data (CCD) School-Level Finance 

Survey (SLFS) 2021–2023. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0930. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection.

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 306.

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. 

Dated: July 27, 2021.
