School District Revenue & Expenditure Patterns, FY 2016

.. many school districts are adopting 4-day school weeks.  Part of the reason is shortage of funds.  The amount spent per student for public elementary-secondary education for all 50 states and D.C. increased by 3.2 percent to $11,762 during the 2016 fiscal year, based on new data from the Census Bureau released May 21, 2018. The increase in spending in 2016 was due in part to the increase in revenue across all 50 states and D.C. In 2016, public elementary-secondary education revenue, from all sources, amounted to $670.9 billion, up 4.6 percent from the prior year. This is the largest increase since 2007. Yet for many districts this is not enough.

This section provides access to tools and data to to examine K-12 school district finances — sources and uses of funds for FY 2016. The Census Bureau collects these data annually to meet to needs of the National Center for Education Statistics. ProximityOne restructures and integrates these data with other data for GIS/geospatial analysis using the CV XE GIS tools and School District GeoDemographic Information System (SDGIS).

Children’s Demographics by School District

.. data and tools to analyze children’s demographics by school district ..  the ACS 2014 median household income for the Houston ISD, TX (HISD) was $46,069 (all households) compared to $41,896 (grade relevant children’s households). How does economic prosperity (or choose from many other attributes) vary between the total population of an area and to those of total children or grade relevant children by type of enrollment in districts of interest? See related Web section with interactive table.

This section summarizes data and tools to access to the children’s demographic-economic data, based on the 2014 American Community Survey (ACS 2014) school district special tabulation (SDST), for each/all school districts. These data provide insights into the population, social, economic and housing characteristics of total children and grade relevant children — in contrast to the total population and housing. Use the interactive table below to view, rank, compare, query children’s characteristics.

Importance of these Data
The annually updated SDST data are a unique source of data to help stakeholders understand demographic-economic characteristics of total children as well as grade relevant children. The real power of these data is that they enable analysis of children’s living characteristics by type of enrollment (enrolled in public school, enrolled in private school, not enrolled) by school district. For example, in this Houston ISD, TX profile it can be determined that of those grade relevant children who ‘speak English less than “very well”.
– enrolled in public school
… 36,995 or 18.7% of total grade relevant children enrolled public
– enrolled in private school
… 810 or 3.9% of total grade relevant children enrolled private (very low)
– not enrolled
… 3,265 or 30.9% of total grade relevant children not enrolled (very high)

How does Houston ISD compare to Dallas ISD? … to Los Angeles Unified? … use these data to find out. Whether ability to speak English, or other living/demographic environmental characteristics, these are among the factors that can primarily influence educational outcomes.

Comparing the Number of Households
The total number of households compared to the number of households with grade relevant children is often in the range of 3-to-4 to 1. The following table shows illustrative examples for selected districts.

Scope of the School District Special Tabulation
The School District Special Tabulation is a tabulation of the characteristics of children who reside within the boundaries of a school district. Note that such residents/children might attend a school located outside of the school district of residence. Subject matter items are tabulated for these seven universes:
• all children — population ages 0-19, 18 & 19 not high school graduates
• all school age, grade relevant children
– children enrolled
– children enrolled in public school
– children enrolled in private school
– relevant children not enrolled

Local Education Agencies by Type & State

.. the number and structure of school districts by state varies widely. Does this have an impact on educational outcomes and opportunities from state to state? In 1952, Texas had approximately 2,500 school districts (see in related section; today there are 1,027 school districts in Texas (see full table). School districts are now part of a more broadly structured set of Local Education Agencies (LEAs) which include state, regional and independent charter agencies offering elementary/secondary education. This section provides data on the count and type of LEAs by state for the 2014-15 school year.

Use the interactive table to view, rank, compare school districts/LEAs by state by type for the 2014-15 school year. These summary data are based on our processing of individual LEA data provided by individual state education agencies. Additional detail by LEA will be available later in 2016.

American Community Survey 2014 Interactive Tables

.. examining demographic-economic patterns .. use the interactive tables described in this section to examine, view, compare, rank and assess demographic-economic patterns and characteristics of interest for wide-ranging geography based on ACS 2014 data.

It is very important to understand the demographic-economic make-up and patterns for wide-ranging geographies. Community and neighborhood challenges and opportunities are shaped by demographic-economic dynamics. Knowing more about “where we are now” is essential to understanding needs for policy and program management. The quality and precision of business marketing and operational plans and decisions can be improved using these data. School districts can better understand their school district community using these data. Elected officials and policymakers can better understand the needs and characteristics of constituents who they represent. Students can benefit by using these data in studies and research by attaching real world data to support, document and analyze topics of interest.

Data from the American Community Survey 2014 (ACS 2014) are key to these uses, users and processes. See more about the importance of these data. The ACS 2014 interactive tables are part of a larger set of tables comprised of multi-sourced data that are updated frequently. Additional ACS 2014 tables will be added.
