  1. 2011-12 ALLOCATION OF FUNDS Presented By: Kelly Gallatin Federal Funds Manager

  2. Status of DFP Funds • Funding Increases: • Title III, Language Acquisition (no change) • Rural & Low Income (no change) • FundingDecreases: • Title I, Improving Basic Programs (-5.2%) • Title II, Improving Teacher Quality (-1.1%) • School Improvement Grant(-6.8%) • Title II, Math & Science Partnerships (-7.7%) • Title II, Educational Technology(-6.7%) PDE

  3. Terminology The following terms are often confused but have three distinct applications: • Census Poor (or Poverty Level) • Formula Percent (or Percent of Formula Children) • Percent of Free and Reduced Lunch PDE

  4. Title I-A, Census Poor • Census Poor • The number of children age 5-17 from families below the poverty level on the basis of the most recent satisfactory data (each person or family is assigned one out of 48 possible poverty thresholds). USDE

  5. Census Info About census poverty: • http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/ About school district info: • http://www.census.gov/did/www/saipe/ About poverty data sources: • http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/poverty/about/datasources/ USDE

  6. Title I-A, Formula Percent • Formula Factors • Children to be Counted • Census Poor • TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) • Foster • Neglected • All Updated Annually USDE

  7. How Different isCensus Poorfrom Free & Reduced Lunch? • Students whose family income is up to135%of the poverty level are eligible forFreelunch • Students whose family income is up to185%of the poverty level are eligible forReducedlunch

  8. How Different is Census Poorfrom Free & Reduced Lunch? • Census Poor % is generally MUCH Lower

  9. Title I-A Allocations • Eligibility – (Formula vs. 5-17 population) • Basic Grants • 10 Formula Children; AND • 2% Formula Children (Census, TANF, Foster & Neglected) • Concentration Grants • 15% Formula Children OR 6500 Formula Children USDE

  10. Title I-A Allocations • Eligibility (Cont’d) • Targeted Grants • 10 Formula Children; AND • 5% Formula Children • Education Finance Incentive Grant (EFIG) • 10 Formula Children; AND • 5% Formula Children USDE

  11. HOLD-HARMLESS GUARANTEE(atUSDELevel) • All 4 formulas provide for a variable hold-harmless guarantee for each LEA of 85%, 90%, and 95% of their previous year’s allocation • The hold-harmless percentage depends on the percent of formula children for each LEA • For Basic, Targeted, and EFIG, an LEA must meet the eligibility criteria in order for hold-harmless protection to apply • For Concentration Grants, the hold-harmless provision applies to an LEA for four years even if it no longer meets the 15% eligibility criteria USDE

  12. Title I, Part A Formula • USDE Calculates LEA Estimates • PDE Adjusts for Charter Schools • Total Enrollment from sending LEAs • Calculate Formula Children • 4% School Improvement Set Aside • 1% Administration Set Aside • Achievement Awards (5% of PA gain) PDE

  13. Title I, Part A Formula • Hold Harmless Applied at These Levels • 95% for 30% or More Formula Children • 90% for >=15% but <30% Formula Children • 85% for less than 15% Formula Children PDE

  14. HOLD-HARMLESS GUARANTEE (at PDE Level) • Variable hold-harmless guarantee for each LEA of 85%, 90%, or 95% based on the Total of their previous year’s state-determined allocation • The hold-harmless percentage depends on the percent of formula children for each LEA • PDE method helps lessen the degree of severity of abrupt losses in Targeted and EFIG funds in a single year that are not held-harmless at the USDE level PDE

  15. ImprovingTeacher QualityTitle II, Part A Formula • Formula Factors • Hold Harmless • Census Poor • 5-17 Population • Nonpublic Share PDE

  16. Improving Teacher QualityTitle II, Part A Formula • Hold Harmless • 2001-02 Amount (or estimate for LEAs established after 2001-02) • LEAs AND IUs • Ratable Reduction if Insufficient Funds • Remaining Funds Allocated to LEAs PDE

  17. Improving Teacher QualityTitle II, Part A Formula • Distribution of Remaining Funds • 80% of Funds • Census Poor • % of the Whole • 20% of Funds • 5-17 population • % of the Whole PDE

  18. Title II, Part A Nonpublic • Intermediate Units Receive $$$ for Nonpublic Programs • HH at 2001-02 Amount • May Be Eligible for Additional $$$ From Public School Districts • Based on $ Spent on Professional Development • E-grants Calculates Additional Funds—If Any PDE
