Financial Data

Includes finance-related data such as aid ratios, ADM, and real estate tax rates; historical Annual Financial Report data and state subsidy files.

Reporting

Includes instructions and other information related to the reporting of required data to PDE, such as Annual Financial Reports, General Fund Budgets, PIMS-Child Accounting data, Pupil Transportation.
