  4. ADMs – Why All the Talk? • ADMs used to determine state funding for education • How much are we talking about? • $4,078,157,000 in FY15 budgeted for the BEP • Approximately 80% of total Department of Education Budget – 100% state funds

  5. BEP – Basic Education Program • Provides funding to 135 school systems, the ASD and DCS in FY 14 • Will increase to 141 school systems in FY 15 • Designed to provide funding for a basic education program • Does not fund everything schools systems need or want • Requires contribution from the local funding body • Looks at 45 components of a basic education program

  6. BEP Components (45) • Instructional • Regular Education • Vocational Education • Special Education • Elementary & Secondary Guidance • Elementary Art, Music and Physical Education • Elementary & Secondary Librarians • ELL Instructors and Translators • Principals • Elementary and Secondary Assistant Principals • System-wide Supervisors (Regular, Special & Vocational Education) • Special Education Assessment Personnel • Social Workers & Psychologists • Staff Benefits & Insurance

  9. How Does the BEP Work? • Two Separate Parts: • Funding – Determines total amount from formula • Equalization – Determines how much state and local system are each responsible for • Based on local ability to pay (fiscal capacity)

  10. Determining Need - ADMs • ADMs (average daily membership) drive the Formula – funded on prior year’s ADMs. • ADMs generate: • Positions – teachers, supervisors, assistants • Funding dollars – ADMs are multiplied by a Unit Cost for supplies, equipment, textbooks, travel, capital outlay, etc. • Funding months and weighting • Month 2 – 12.5% Month 6 – 35% • Month 3 – 17.5% Month 7 – 35%

  11. ADMs and Positions

  12. ADMs and Positions

  13. Determining Need - ADMs • Fifth month ADMs are pulled by individual school • Used to determine the number of school-based positions that are funded by the BEP formula such as • Principals • Assistant principals • Librarians • School secretaries

  14. ADMs and Positions • Number of positions generated translate into salary and benefit dollars

  15. ADMs and Other Funding • ADMs generate: • Funding dollars – ADMs are multiplied by a Unit Cost for supplies, equipment, textbooks, travel, etc.

  16. Summary • ADMs are the most critical input to the BEP formula • Absolutely need to be correct • Impact on average to LEAs - $4,180 per ADM • The work you do in your systems is SO important – and we appreciate all that you do for your schools! • THANK YOU!
