TN: State Launches School Spending Dashboard
March 10, 2021
The Tennessee Office of the Comptroller has launched an interactive dashboard for school-by-school spending data for every school in the state, building on the ESSA requirement that states publicly report per-pupil expenditure data starting with the 2018-19 school year. The Comptroller’s report on the data additionally includes a number of considerations to keep in mind while exploring the dashboard, including a warning against isolating a single variable as the cause for differences in spending levels between two or more schools or districts.
