District Audited Annual Reports
Users of school finance data are often frustrated when they hear varying answers to the following questions: "What's the district's cost-per-member?" or "What's the district's revenue-per-member?" The truth is that the input data is almost always the same--district audited annual reports. However, depending on how the data will be used, the input data is aggregated in a specific manner to fulfill a specific purpose.
