Fiscal Factbook – 2026 Edition
Data-driven insights into the realities of K–12 education funding and educational choice programs
Fiscal Factbook provides clear, data-driven insights into K–12 education funding and educational choice programs. Key facts, figures, and findings dispel common myths, highlight important trends, and support informed decision-making, using historical context and current data. Fiscal Factbook is meant to foster a deeper understanding of how public school funding operates, how educational choice programs affect state and district finances, and how funding reforms can better serve students and families. This year’s edition contains new sections on Arizona’s ESA expansion and the long-term fiscal effects of school choice programs.
