Annual Survey of School System Finances First Look [ [link removed] ]

Last week, the U.S. Census Bureau released an early look at data from the Annual Survey of School System Finances. The data provide initial insight into spending per public school pupil (pre-K through 12th grade), as well as revenue and other school system spending details in 38 states and the District of Columbia.

The tables in the preliminary release present fiscal year (FY) 2021 school system finance data. The accompanying visualization compares these stats to data in prior years to provide timely information about how they may have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the early release, only a subset of geographic areas is included.

?? Workshops: Making the Most of Mapping in data.census.gov

Join us in this participatory class as we look at mapping capabilities in data.census.gov. You’ll learn the basics of mapping, including how to map data found in tables available in the site. Next, you’ll learn how to use the mapping capabilities to discern between geographies and determine if they have changed over time. Then you’ll take a quick look at another great mapping tool offered by the Census Bureau—TIGERweb.

Time is allotted throughout the training for questions. General familiarity with navigating data.census.gov is recommended. Using two monitors is recommended for this class, if available.

Registration is required to attend these workshops. Attendance is limited to 50 participants per session.
