Welcome to School Finance

School Finance proactively partners with Arizona education organizations to facilitate timely, accurate data collection and precise, transparent payments. We support submittal of accurate student, staff, and transportation data, educate on data reconciliation reports and best practices, and assist with error correction as needed. We use the data collected and statutory formulas to precisely calculate and distribute state payments and publish corresponding data to enable stakeholders to understand and verify calculations. Additionally, School Finance collects and reports critical financial data to the public, education organizations, state leaders and the Federal government.
