USAFacts Spending Explorer

Understanding what your school district actually spends money on usually means digging through PDFs and state portals. USAFacts Spending Explorer puts that information in one place, right inside ChatGPT. Ask specific questions: how much goes to instruction versus administration, how per-student spending compares to a nearby district, or how funding for a particular program has changed over time. USAFacts Spending Explorer gives clear answers alongside an interactive chart — select any category to see its exact share and click to dig even deeper. On the other side, explore how revenue is generated from a mix of state and local taxes, federal sources, and more. Then, ask a follow-up the same way you'd ask a person: “What about last year?” or “How does that compare to Dallas?” You'll still get a sourced answer, paired with USAFacts' way of turning complex government finance data into something easy to follow. Try: - "What does Los Angeles Unified spend the most money on?” - "Is Austin ISD's spending going up or down?” - "How does Austin ISD compare to Dallas ISD?" This is a beta. To start, it covers school districts in Texas and California, but it won't stay that way for long. We're expanding to more states and adding new ways to explore the data with every update.
