PASBO's research, advocacy and professional development teams have expanded and aligned our efforts to provide learning opportunities related school financial management and operations to members and non-members alike.

Towards this goal, we are exploring and delivering a review of Pennsylvania school finance and policy. This series our website serves as a general reference center for our detailed information, data and statistics in hopes to help members, legislators, and staff understand the mechanics, dynamics, challenges and needs of public education in Pennsylvania.

PASBO's Data Dive series highlights a wide range of topics in school finance and school business operations written directly by our members and staff with expertise in each of the topics. Topics range from the basic budgetary concepts of revenue and expenditures, property taxes and assessed value, state basic education funding, special education and funding, charter schools, personnel and compensation, pupil transportation, school facilities and so much more!

Additionally, Data Dive is designed to be a central location where you can find education-related data with web links to important education data sources. A citation for the various related data sources will added to each data dive along with future downloadable features.
