- A description of each program report code, written in plain English, and a summary of the prior fiscal year's expenditure of state funds within each program report code.
- A description of each object code within a program report code, written in plain English, and a summary of the prior fiscal year's expenditure of state funds for each object code.
- A description of each allotment transfer that increased or decreased the initial allotment amount by more than five percent (5%) and the educational priorities that necessitated the transfer.
- A description of any transfer of funds from the textbook and digital resources allotment into another allotment category with an explanation of why the transfer for the textbooks and digital resources allotment was made to a different allotment category.
