The video contains a general overview of the Budget file's format. For FY 2023, the APOR55 tab was replaced with the BSA55 tab to coincide with the Arizona Department of Education’s (ADE) implementation of its BSA 55-1 report. The APOR 55-1 report page numbers mentioned in the video do not always agree with the page numbers in ADE’s BSA 55-1 report. However, the information presented on the BSA 55-1 report is generally presented in the same order as described in the video (total time 17 minutes).
