Annual Financial Data
Unaudited year-end data in downloadable, self-extracting files (i.e., SACS, J-200).
Each year, California's kindergarten through grade twelve (K–12) school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and joint powers agencies, all commonly known as local educational agencies (LEAs), submit annual financial reports to the California Department of Education (CDE). The Financial Accountability and Information Services (FAIS) Office, within the CDE, is responsible for annually collecting, reviewing, and preparing these financial data for dissemination.
The prior year's data are usually available around March of each year. Please be sure to read the readme.txt and/or documentation.doc files associated with the file type and year you are downloading. They contain detailed information about that year's data. Due to the size of the files, these data sets are processed using the Microsoft Access database application.
If you would like to be notified when these data sets are available for a future year, please send a blank message to join-school-district-financial-data@mlist.cde.ca.gov to subscribe to our mailing list.
Also, selected information from these data sets is available at the Ed-Data Web site .
LEA Revenue and Expenditure Report SACS Data
In 1997–98, some LEAs began reporting their financial data in the new standardized account code structure (SACS) format using CDE's SACS Financial Reporting Software. Each year, more LEAs converted their financial systems to report in SACS. In order to have consistent statewide data during the transition, the CDE converted the SACS data back to a J-200/400/600 (J-200) equivalent format to produce a statewide set of data. In 2003–04, for the first time all LEAs reported in SACS. For comparison purposes, the CDE converted the 2003–04 statewide data to J-200 and posted both sets of data. However, beginning with 2004–05, only the SACS format is available.

LEA Revenue and Expenditure Report J-200 Data
Until fiscal year 2003–04, the J-200 Unaudited Actual Financial Reports were used by some LEAs to report their balance sheet accounts, revenues by sources, and expenditures by types. Gradually, more and more LEAs reported using SACS. In 2003–04, all LEAs reported in SACS for the first time. For fiscal year 2003–04, the CDE converted the SACS data into the old J-200 format for comparison purposes. However, beginning with fiscal year 2004–05 data, only the SACS format is available. The SACS data are no longer converted to the J-200 format as included in the following data sets.

Program Cost Accounting Report (J-380) Data
Beginning with fiscal year 2003–04 data, the Annual Program Cost Data Report (J-380) is no longer collected as a separate report. Please refer to the SACS unaudited actual data sets above for files that include program cost data in the SACS format.
Prior to fiscal year 2003–04, as included in the following data sets, the J-380/580/780 (J-380) Annual Program Cost Data Reports were used by LEAs to report their unaudited actual expenditure information by program. As conversion to SACS progressed, fewer and fewer LEAs submitted J-380 data.
