School Districts

School District Finance

As part of the Annual Survey of Government Finances, the U.S. Census Bureau's Governments Division collects fiscal data from a wide variety of local governments and agencies with taxing authority, including school districts. School finance researchers sometimes refers to this as the 'F33' data, because local government respondents report the fiscal information using form #F-33. These data provide details of revenue sources (local, state, federal) and expenditures by function (instruction, support services, and non-instruction) and subfunction (school administration, etc.).
