Abstract: As a result of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), NCES has been asked to add seven data items to the Common Core of Data National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) in order to allow an adjustment in the state per pupil expenditure (SPPE) used in allocating Title I, Impact Aid, and other ED funds. The Department must be able to exclude the ARRA expenditures from the SPPE so that they will not affect the allocation process. States are already required to track the ARRA revenues separately. The seven additional data items will provide the necessary detail to exclude ARRA expenditures from SPPE and allow states to report total ARRA expenditures and their functional allocations, such as for classroom instruction or school construction. The estimated additional data burden time is 8 hours per respondent, for a total of 79 burden hours per state data technician and 19 burden hours per state data manager (total 5,264 burden hours). NPEFS annually gathers universe information from states about revenues and expenditures for public education, specifically revenues by source and expenditures by function and object, such as school administration costs, student transportation, food services, salaries, benefits, and supply costs.
