Federal Financial Transparency Reporting for School Year 2023-24 (Deadline: February 14, 2025)

To strengthen the data that has been collected for several years as required by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the U.S. Department of Education has implemented a new requirement, the School Level Finance Survey (SLFS). Beginning with the 2023-24 school year, data collection of expenditures for the ESSA Financial Transparency Requirement will combine with data collection for the SLFS. The data collected on the combined ESSA/SLFS report will be used to satisfy both federally-mandated financial reporting requirements.

The 2023-24 ESSA/SLFS data reporting form is now available in the NYSED business portal. The deadline for reporting is February 14, 2025.

Detailed guidance is available in the ESSA/School Level Finance Survey section of the website.
