摘要

This documentation contains a brief description of the survey collection, along with information required to understand and access the data files. These data were collected by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), a branch of the Institute of Education Sciences in the U.S. Department of Education, and the Governments Division of the U.S. Census Bureau. NCES is authorized to collect these data by Congress through the National Education Statistics Act of 1995, section 404(a), (20 U.S.C. 9003(a)). The data on the files are based on information from state education agencies (SEAs) for fiscal year 2003 (school year 2002-2003). There is a record for each state, the District of Columbia and four of the outlying areas (American Samoa, Northern Marianas, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands). Guam did not report any data. The data were collected through the National Public Education Financial Survey (NPEFS) of the Common Core of Data (CCD) series. These data are presented by state and contain revenue data by source and expenditure data by function and object. Average daily attendance is also provided. Total student membership from the 2002-2003 Common Core of Data State Nonfiscal Survey has also been added. Information from the fiscal year 2003 data plan appears at the end of the documentation.
