This working paper summarizes a series of tasks undertaken to assess the feasibility of expending the resource and finance data collected in the Schools and Staffing Survey. It includes an overview of the Resource Cost Model, instruments designed to collect staffing data, an appraisal of earnings data from the CPS to estimate salaries for school staff, options for gathering benefits data, an approach to collecting tradition finance data at the school level, and a discussion of the analytical value of an integrated collection of both staffing resource and expenditure data.
