SBS DART
The SBS Data Analysis and Reporting Tool (SBS DART) is an online application containing PSU expenditure data. Internal reports such as the monthly financial reports, cash zero out report, invalid codes report, remaining allotment balances, and more will now live within SBS DART.
The Highlights is an annual report published each spring by Financial and Business Services. It presents charts and tables which describe how state and federal funds are distributed to North Carolina's Public Schools during that fiscal year.
For previous years, please see the Highlights folder of the SBS Archive.
This report has been moved to the SBS DART platform. It is compiled by survey each fall. It provides the number of students attending charter schools by district and region, as well as the change in enrollment from the previous year.
Student Accounting data has moved to SBS DART and the Statistical Profile.

The Best 1 of 2 Average Daily Membership (ADM) report and enrollment data have moved to the SBS Data Analysis and Reporting Tool (SBS DART). Use the ADM Dashboard in the Public Dashboards dropdown menu to see the report, historical comparisons, and other visualization tools.
