Introduction

The Finance Work Group (FWG) is an entity within the Ed-Fi Governance structure (see Figure 1) and intended to enhance the educational finance community’s engagement in, input into and use of Ed-Fi data and technology standards.  The FWG’s main purpose is to represent the perspectives of the financial community (SEAs, LEAs, vendors and thought leaders) to the Ed-Fi Governance processes with the purpose of making the Ed-Fi data and technology standards more widely adopted and used.  The FWG may make recommendations through the Ed-Fi Governance processes about investment in the Ed-Fi product roadmap and business strategies.  The full charter for the FWG can be viewed here Finance Work Group Charter.
