General Connection Information

CEDS elements are shown in bold/italicized font. 

This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically “E-W system conditions” which pertain to institutional or systemic environments, policies, and practices within E-W systems that support positive E-W outcomes. 

This metric (Pre-K: State expenditures per child enrolled), is a measurement for a key indicator, “Expenditures per Student,” and measures state expenditures per every pre-k child enrolled.

Calculating a Response

Expenditures Per Student - Pre-K: State expenditures per child enrolled 

Use the following CEDS elements to identify the school year:  

• Early Learning Program Year = most recent school year, representing July 1 through June 30 

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of Pre-K Schools and Children:  

• Pull all unique schools which is determined by using a unique School Identifier where School Identification System = SEA
  
• Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Child Identifier where Child Identification System = SEA

Where the Pre-K School and Child: 

• is associated with a State Education Agency through the State Agency Identifier where State Agency Identification System = SEA, or Organization Identifier where Organization Identification System = SEA
• is associated with a Local Education Agency through the Local Education Agency Identifier where Local Education Agency Identification System = SEA
• is associated with a Pre-K school through the School Identifier where School Identification System = SEA

From the universe of Pre-K schools, identify the total expenditures for each: 

• Financial Expenditure Level of Instruction Code = Prekindergarten
• Financial Account Category = Expenditures
• Financial Expenditure Project Reporting Code = 200-399 (State Projects)
• Financial Accounting Period Actual Value is NOT NULL
• Fiscal Period Begin Date is ≥ July 1 of the school being reported,
• Fiscal Period End Date is ≤ June 30 of the school year being reported. 

From the universe of children, narrow the list to those enrolled in the most recent school year, using the following CEDS elements: 

• Enrollment Entry Date is ≥ July 1 of the school being reported, and
• Enrollment Exit Date is ≤ June 30 of the school year being reported, or null. 

Calculation Instructions: 

• Determine the total expenditures value based on the reporting codes 200-399.
• Count the number of grade Pre-K students who are currently enrolled.
• Divide the total current expenditures by the total Pre-K enrolled children.

Disaggregate by Home Language

Use the following CEDS elements to disaggregate the final set of 3- and 4-year olds by Home Language:

• Language Type = Home Language; and

Disaggregate by Sex

*Note: CEDS does not have a Gender element. While Sex is not a proxy for Gender it is the closest approximation currently available.

*Note: Male + Female will not always equal 100% for states that have more choices beyond male and female.

Use the following CEDS elements to disaggregate the final set of 3- and 4-year olds by Sex: 

• Sex = Male, Female, or Not Selected

• Program participation Exit Date ≤ June 30 of the school year being reported
• Section 504 Status = Yes
• Status Start Date ≤ the school year being reported
• Status End Date ≤ the school year being reported

*Section 504 Status may not apply if your state doesn't collect it. 

Students without a Disability: A student does not have a disability if all of the following are true:

• Disability Status = No, and
• Primary Disability Type is null, and
• IDEA Indicator = No, and
• Section 504 Status = No

Count the number of students with a disability and the number of students without a disability.

For further analysis, disaggregate the students with a disability:

Filter records where

• IDEA Indicator = Yes
