Dear Superintendents,
The U.S. Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) sponsors the School District Review Program (SDRP), allowing the U.S. Census Bureau to create poverty and population estimates by school district geography. The poverty and population estimates produced by the Census Bureau are of vital importance for each state’s allocation of federal funding under Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, Public Law 114-95.
Please review all of the documents below to assist in completing the FY2027 SDRP. Should you have any questions, please email cesusbureau@mdek12.org for technical assistance.
