  4. What is the School-Level Expenditure Reporting Project? The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) requires each public school district receiving Title I, Part A ARRA funds in 2009-10 to report: • A school-by-school listing of personnel expenditures paid with state and local funds only, for the 08-09 school year. • Must report total personnel expenditures, instructional expenditures only, and teachers only. • Does not include any special education expenditures.

  5. What is the Purpose of the School-Level Expenditure Reporting Project? The U.S. Department of Education is collecting this data from each state to: • Examine the extent school-level education resources are distributed equitably within and across school districts • Guide policy decisions regarding potential changes to the Title I comparability provision • Title I schools are required to receive comparable levels of state and local resources as non-Title I schools in the same district

  6. Federal Research Questions to be Addressed by the Project The U.S. Department of Education is collecting this data from each state to consider: • Are education resources distributed equitably across schools within districts? Between districts within states? • Do variances exist for different types of expenditures – teacher salaries, other staff or non-personnel spending? • Are per-pupil expenditures variances related to special needs students – English language learners, students with disabilities, or economically disadvantaged?

  7. Important Details • Data is due from school districts by March 15, 2010 • The Department has developed an on-line application to reduce the administrative burden for districts. • It is part of the existing ARRA Reporting System which is on the SED Business Portal: http://portal.nysed.gov/ • SED will review the data, combine all districts into the required federal reporting format and submit by to the U.S. Department of Education by March 31, 2010.

  8. Before you get started… • ONLY the Superintendent, using their user identification and password, can certify and submit the final report via the SED portal.  • In order for other district employees to prepare the Expenditure Report via the portal, the superintendent must delegate access to the ARRA system through SEDDAS. • If you are having trouble with the SEDDAS system or are not sure how to delegate access to other administrators to the ARRA Reporting System, please review the following SEDDAS information: • This is the SEDDAS home page - http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/seddas/seddashome.html • This is the link for SEDDAS training guides - http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/seddas/pstraining.html • This is the quick start guide - http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/seddas/psquickstart.html • Also the SEDDAS unit’s phone number is 518-473-8832.

  10. Beginning to Use the On-Line System • Once you have logged on to the ARRA Reporting System, there will be a button called “Expenditure Reporting” that will access the application. • The next screen presents the choice of directly uploading a .csv file that matches the format shown in the guidance, or • Entering the expenditure data manually, code by code and school by school. • Either method will allow the Reporting System to automatically sort each expenditure into the appropriate federal category of personnel expenditure (total, instructional, teacher.)
