CEEP uses General Fund expenditure data for Fiscal Years 2011-2015 from the Indiana Department of Education to show how spending differs between school corporations over time. How much school corporations spend on instruction is thought to influence how well students perform on state assessments. The tool allows users to see statewide trends, spending patterns in individual school corporations, and see how school corporation spending adjusts to changes in revenue, as approximated by total spending.
