The Every Students Succeeds Act contains a short but significant provision requiring LEAs to report not only district-level expenditure data but also, for the first time, school-level expenditure data. This reporting began with FY19 data and is reported each year on the Illinois Report Card. LEAs are required to report actual personnel and non-personnel expenditures of both site-specific and district centralized expenditures. Expenditures will be shown at the site level and must be disaggregated by source of funds (federal vs. state/local).

LEAs may choose to manually enter their final data –or– upload their final data in an Excel file. These resources are for LEAs that choose to upload.

LEAs may choose to work with a vendor to arrive at their final data –or– calculate their data themselves. These optional resources are for LEAs that will be doing their own data calculations and may want assistance in moving from their general ledger to reportable site-based expenditure data.
