IFR Criteria

2019-01-15T17:15:27+00:00

Over the course of a year, FiTWiG members created the Interstate Financial Reporting (criteria) that, if met, will enable cross-state per-pupil expenditure data comparisons, and guarantee a high quality of data in each individual state. This webinar is one of several that go through the IFR in its entirety but is different from others in that it is the most

Common Reporting Standards (Strawman)

2019-01-15T16:59:48+00:00

We spent the past couple of meetings reviewing some sample data outputs to consider what states want the financial transparency data to be able to do/answer, specifically in hopes to reach some consistency across states on a bare minimum collection that most could follow and build on if needed. In this meeting, we take that feedback and attempt to consolidate
