Session Description: Accessing and analyzing education finance data requires significant data wrangling expertise, creating barriers for researchers, advocates, and policymakers. In this hands-on workshop, participants will use edfinr – a free, open-source R package – to load clean school finance datasets, analyze funding patterns, and adjust for inflation, leaving with working code for their own contexts. Basic R experience recommended.
Intended Audience: Data analysts or independent researchers; Nonprofit organizations; State education agencies
