Corrections
2026-09-19: A source review found that previously published Connecticut and Pennsylvania financial and school metrics included generated estimates, and New Jersey financial fields did not consistently distinguish proposed budgets from audited results. Those unsupported claims were withdrawn. This release restores source-linked NJDOE 2023–24 TGES spending totals for 573 districts; CSDE 2023–24 reported finance for 193 districts and four-year graduation for 134; and PDE 2024–25 General Fund actual expenditures and other financing uses for 482 districts and district four-year graduation for 495. Each fact retains its own period and scope: PA finance includes other financing uses and is not audited, and NJ TGES totals must not be summed across districts. Missing, suppressed, conflicting and unmatched values remain withheld, never zero or a finding of noncompliance. Existing district directory identities remain unchanged. Demonstration educator records remain withdrawn; salary simulator grids are illustrative models, not verified contract schedules. Paid filing and audit packs remain unavailable while evidence and fulfillment checks are completed.
