NEW JERSEY
New Jersey released FY19 school-by-school spending data on the New Jersey School Performance Report system. To access the spending data for your school, from the detail report, click on the “Per-Pupil Expenditures” tab, then click on “District Summary of 2018-19 School-Level Per Pupil Expenditures by Source” where it provides you with a link to the PPE. New Jersey also released a downloadable excel file containing school spending, disaggregated by source of funds, for each school in the state. The file also displays the district-level expenditures not assigned to a school. This can be used to compare spending within and across districts. New Jersey also includes a narrative tab which contains information about the school and district, including awards, recognition, programs, and clubs offered and more information submitted by the district.
