Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) — Site-Based Expenditure Reporting

Due to a need for data on a school-level basis to comply with ESSA, ISBE is currently working on a new data collection mechanism. Collecting the necessary data to input in this form will require more school district reporting processes. Illinois ASBO has been represented by Executive Director/CEO Dr. Michael Jacoby, Past President Susan Harkin and Treasurer Dr. Dean Romano on an advisory committee has been formed to help ISBE with the process. Watch this new page on ISBE's website devoted to site-based expenditure reporting for the latest updates! See the guidance document from ISBE (Updated April 2019).
