edfinr: Access Tidy Education Finance Data

Provides easy access to tidy education finance data using Bellwether's methodology to combine NCES F-33 Survey, Census Bureau Small Area Income Poverty Estimates (SAIPE), community data from the ACS 5-Year Estimates, the Comparable Wage Index for Teachers (CWIFT) from NCES EDGE, and school district land area from U.S. Census Bureau Gazetteer Files. The package simplifies downloading, caching, and filtering education finance data by year and state, enabling researchers and analysts to explore K-12 education funding patterns, revenue sources, expenditure categories, and demographic factors across U.S. school districts.
