Source-reported nominal dollars. Amount fields are converted from source thousands to dollars. No inflation adjustment is applied. An exact identifier links published source rows; it does not erase consolidations, closures, reorganizations, or other real institutional changes between years. Constant-dollar comparisons use BLS CPI-U series CUUR0000SA0, annual U.S. city average; this is not a local cost-of-living index. Joined by exact Census PID6 or NCES LEAID; names are never used.

  • Exact attendance and board-seat boundaries for an address
  • Normalized meeting agendas, minutes, recorded votes, and decision history
  • School-level outcomes, audited contracts and vendors, and inflation-adjusted spending comparisons
