What is the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)?
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) replaced the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Both laws reauthorized the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Passage of ESSA provides a much anticipated opportunity to improve outcomes for all students and gives states more flexibility and decision-making power at the local level. This law also requires states to develop plans that address standards, assessments, school and district accountability and special help for struggling schools. Read more at the Colorado Department of Education or US Department of Education websites.
How does ESSA relate to school finance in Colorado?
The Colorado K12 Financial Transparency website is limited to funding and spending information shared with the general public. Colorado Department of Education (CDE) also publishes District Performance Framework and School Performance Framework reports annually. These reports can be found at the CDE website.

What elements of the Colorado K12 Financial Transparency website meet the ESSA requirements?
Understandable and Uniform
ESSA requires that all financial data be reported in an understandable and uniform format. The website was designed to provide access to school, district and BOCES financial data as a downloadable chart of accounts as well as in an easy-to-read framework that categorizes spending and funding breakdowns. Each dashboard displays the same data in the same way, and via the Comparisons option, up to 4 schools, districts or BOCES can be compared side-by-side.
Accessible
The website is designed and developed per WCAG2.0 guidelines and available via any modern internet-connected web browser.
Per-Pupil Expenditures
Each school and district now includes a breakdown of per-pupil spending by federal, state and local sources. This information is accessible from the Spending section of each school/district main dashboard and Comparison page. This data is also exportable according to Interstate Financial Reporting standards from those locations.
