CCD Data File: Longitudinal School District Fiscal-Nonfiscal Detail File, Fiscal Years 1990 to 2002

This database contains two updated and more detailed longitudinal data files for researchers seeking to analyze fiscal and nonfiscal district data for each year from 1989–90 to 2001–2002, for the universe of regular public elementary and secondary school districts. The additional fiscal detail includes the composition of federal and state revenues, and expenditures for all categories of support services and salaries and benefits for instruction. The database is available in two forms. The primary longitudinal Fiscal-Nonfiscal Detail (FNFD) file in the database contains a separate record for each regular school district that was open some years in through 2001. The other longitudinal file, the Unified Fiscal-Nonfiscal Detail file (UFNFD), combines data from separate elementary districts with the secondary districts they feed, so that each record contains data for a Unified K–12 “pseudo-district.” (“Elementary” districts typically covered the grades K-8, while “secondary” districts typically covered the grades 9-12.) The database is designed for research use in testing hypotheses about longitudinal trends in school districts over this period. To facilitate analysis, all missing data have been replaced by statistical imputations, and clearly erroneous responses have been edited and replaced by plausible values.
