ASBO New York Partner Frontline (Forecast5) Presents Monthly Data & Analytics Tip

Wednesday, May 14, 2025  
Access to financial data is essential in the Business Office, but combining financial and non-financial data can create a powerful communication tool between district leaders and the community. Our Community Report Series bridges this gap, helping you tell your district’s story clearly and effectively – no school finance expertise required.

 
Drawing from Financial Planning and Comparative Analytics, the series includes topic-driven reports and presentations designed to support transparent and impactful communication with any audience. In March, we featured our Cost Per Student Presentation, and most recently, we released the Special Education Report.
 
This latest report presents Special Education enrollment, staffing, and spending through easy-to-read visuals and graphs. It also includes budget trends and projections, comparing Special Education and General Fund spending for a comprehensive view. Our goal is to help districts use this report to guide thoughtful, student-centered conversations, while keeping affordability in mind.
