financial reporting changes
(Baltimore, MD) March 1, 2017 — Allovue, a pioneering education finance technology company, today launched ESSA Ready - a website to support K-12 school leaders as they prepare their financial reports for compliance under the new regulations of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Created for district and school-level leaders, the site is a guide for meeting the new financial reporting requirements in the statute.
Under ESSA, school districts must now demonstrate greater transparency with their financial data, including showing per-pupil expenditures by school based on actual expenses.
Under ESSA, school districts must now demonstrate greater transparency with their financial data, including showing per-pupil expenditures by school based on actual expenses.
With the passage of ESSA in late 2015, K-12 administrators in charge of budgets must now show greater transparency in the way funding is used to support federal programs, especially Title I. They must also clearly show that their programs are evidence-based, cost-effective, and working to support students.
“The new financial regulations surrounding ESSA have created confusion for many administrators in K-12,” said Jess Gartner, the CEO and founder of Allovue. “Allovue works with school and district leadership to streamline their financial data to create more transparency in their budgets and to clearly connect spending with student outcomes. We’re proud to share our knowledge and shine a light on the changes and challenges to come.”
Featuring both original content penned by Allovue’s budget experts and links to a wealth of useful resources, the new site helps K-12 executive leadership make sense of the new requirements, take steps to alter their practice, and bring necessary changes to light.
“This is a whole new world for school districts in terms of their financial data,” said Gartner. “ESSA requires them to generate complex reports in plain English quicker than ever before, which requires a fluency and ease with data that many districts are still struggling with. Now more than ever it’s important to have the right information and the right partnerships in place.”
