EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS
![Page 4: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS
It is important to understand USAS coding and the structure of the USAS system.
• Developed by State Auditor’s Office in 1977• Used to categorically separate expenses• Proper coding makes a difference
![Page 5: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS
Method to the madness:• 27-digit coding system• Structure consists of:
‒ FUND most important includes most of the district’s expenditures
‒ FUNCTION most important has over 50% of expenditures spent in this area
‒ OBJECTmost important makes up ~ 50% of general fund expenditures
‒ SPECIAL COST CENTERS & OPERATIONAL UNITSlocally defined for buildings and programs

EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS
• Accounts payable/receivable staff input data using account codes.
• Payroll staff use pay accounts with account codes to post payroll to the budgetary side.
• This data is gathered through the EMIS Period H reporting period, gathering a district’s revenue and expense data (old 4502 data).
![Page 7: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS
EMIS expenditure data is used in iLRC (interactive local report card) analysis including:
• overall expenditure per pupil;• exclusions; and • breakdown of instructional, administrative,
pupil support, staff support, and building operations costs.
![Page 8: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS
Expenditure data is currently:• In the iLRC on the ODE website• Not ranked or averaged• Not on the local report card• Not required to be on district’s website

EXPENDITURE PER PUPIL: New Use of Data in HB 153 –
the 2012-13 Budget Bill
![Page 11: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EXPENDITURE DATA and HB 153
• ODE will calculate the % of budget spent on classroom instructional expenditures.
• Each school will be ranked within its category by this percentage and will be compared to group averages and the statewide average.
• The rankings will also note the districts in the lowest 20% of expenditures per pupil.
![Page 12: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
EXPENDITURE DATA and HB 153• Separately, the same data will be used to
calculate:– Overall rank of each school by expenditure
per pupil– Overall rank of each school by classroom
expenditure as a % of operating expenditures
– % of expenditures that are operating
• These amounts will be compared to statewide averages.
![Page 13: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
EXPENDITURE DATA and HB 153
• Per HB 153, ODE must develop standards to determine expenditures for classroom instructional and non-classroom purposes (ORC 3302.20)
• Presented to the State Board of Education by Jan. 1, 2012 - adopted by July 1, 2012 [2013 if MBR passes]
• Data will still come from EMIS
• Computations will be close to current methodology but may have some variations
![Page 14: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
EXPENDITURE DATA and HB 153
Districts will be grouped into categories based on enrollment:

EXPENDITURE DATA and HB 153
Expenditure data and rankings will be:• Posted on the ODE website

“in another fashion”

So why is this important?
With the state budget being very restricted
and pressure being put on legislators to budget
more money into education, lawmakers
are going to look at these reports to
determine who is efficient with their
resources.
![Page 25: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So why is this important?
While we know the reports do not reflect the full story of your school district (e.g.
poverty, special needs costs, etc.), it is
important that correct information is reported
and collected.
![Page 26: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Coding is a Big Deal!
Proper coding of expenditure data is
vitally important as it will drive what ODE
uses to publish annual reports, which will
ultimately be used by your local legislators, taxpayers, and other
constituents.
![Page 27: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Coding is a Big Deal!
Your role is very important to ensure that expenditures are properly accounted
for as the USAS manual directs.
![Page 28: EXPENDITURE CODING and USAS](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56815ee7550346895dcd923f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
