As of November 1, the Department of Education has published its new financial data reporting tool as required by HB 139. HB 139 required the aggregation and publication of a variety of financial information for all school districts, such as revenue and expenditure data, capital construction costs, recent audits, and similar reports. All of information on this site consists of data and other information which the Department already collects and in most cases published in some existing form, or which is collected and published by another department within state government such as the Department of Audits and Accounts. HB 139 required the centralization of this information into a single web site, which is the purpose of this new reporting system.
Please note that HB 139 requires all districts to clearly link to this web site somewhere on their respective district and school web sites within the district.
If you have any questions regarding this reporting tool or the information contained within it, please contact Amy Rowell at [email protected]. Thanks to you and your finance staff for your continuing work to provide quality financial information and transparency to Georgia’s citizens.
