SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 153a1I of the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002, 20 U.S.C.
9543a1I, which authorizes NCES to gather data on the financing and management of education, NCES
collects data annually from SEAs through ED Form 2447. The report from SEAs includes attendance, revenue, and expenditure data from which NCES
determines a States average per-pupil expenditure SPPE for elementary and secondary education, as defined in section 81012 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended ESEA 20 U.S.C. 78012.
In addition to using the SPPE data as general information on the financing of elementary and secondary education, the 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. Other programs, such as the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program under title VII of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants under title IV, part A of the ESEA make use of SPPE data indirectly because their formulas are based, in whole or in part, on State title I, part A, allocations.
In January 2021, the Census Bureau, acting as the data collection agent for NCES, will email ED Form 2447 to SEAs, with instructions, and will request that SEAs commence submitting FY 2020 data to the Census Bureau on Thursday, January 29, 2021. SEAs are urged to submit accurate and complete
