Compliance and Data Reporting
Fundamentally, ESSA is about creating a set of interlocking strategies to promote educational equity by providing support to districts and schools as they work to ensure that every student succeeds. New York State is committed to ensuring that all students succeed and thrive in school no matter who they are, where they live, where they go to school, or where they come from.
A list of helpful links related to ESSA compliance and data reporting are available below:
Annual Neglected and Delinquent Facility Resident Count SurveyÌý
The purpose of the Annual Neglected and Delinquent Facility Resident Count Survey is to provide the U.S. Department of Education and the ̨ÍåÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ with current information on the location and number of children living in institutions for neglected or delinquent children or in correctional institutions.

Financial Transparency
Building-levelÌýfinancial transparencyÌýunder ESSA will help those interested in education learn more about the equity and effectiveness of our federal, state, and local educational resources. It is critical that we maximize every dollar to provide the best opportunities and improve outcomes for our students. Fiscal transparency reports outline how much each school is spending per student and the source of the funds. These fiscal transparency reports were issued for the first time in 2020 for the 2018-19 school year, and annual releases will be available after April 1st in each subsequent year. At the district level, they will inform conversations within districts about whether equitable resources are being provided at the school level. At the state level, these reports will help inform future Board of Regents State Aid requests and other policymaking decisions.
