  1. State Funding for Schools -Public School Districts • Nonpublic Schools • Community Schools • JVS’s (Career Techs) • ESC • DD’s • Special Purpose Grants

  2. New Funding FormulaTraditional Districts

  3. State Share Index Purpose: To equalize funding based on wealth of district 1) District 3-Average Valuation District ADM = District per Pupil Valuation 2) State 3-yr Average ValuationState ADM = State Per Pupil Valuation 3) District Per Pupil Valuation State Per Pupil Valuation = District Valuation Index 4) District Median Income State Median Income = District Income Index

  4. State Share Index • 5)Is district valuation index greater than district • income index? • - To determine District’s Wealth Index 6) State Share Index determined by formula based on District’s Wealth Index Will be the same in 2013-14 and in 2014-15

  5. State Share Index Minimum of 5 % Maximum of 90% Based on wealth index

  6. State Share Index

  7. Student Counts Kindergarten students counted on FTE basis and counted at 50% if tuition charged for all day kindergarten EMIS = child’s pct. of time tuition charged

  8. Student Counts FY14: ADM count taken during first full week of October FY15: Annualized enrollment updated three times per year (October, March and June)

  9. PRESCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATION Formerly: Unit - based Replaced with: Formula - based $4,000 per child (on December Child Count) plus 50% of Special Education Category Funding times State Share Index Funding provided only to resident districts

  10. PRESCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING Funds provided only to resident districts Education by: Resident District ESC - deduction or transfer from resident district DD - automatic transfer from resident district

  11. SFPR(School Finance Payment Report) ADM Detail(Computation of Total ADM) • District ADM, plus • Ed Choice Scholarships, plus • Jon Peterson Scholarships, plus • Autism Scholarships, plus • Community School FTE

  12. SFPR(School Finance Payment Report(cont) Net Formula ADM District’s Total ADM - minus 75% of brick & mortar community school students - minus 100% of eSchool students - minus all scholarship program students Used for Tier 1 Targeted Assistance Funding

  13. OPPORTUNITY GRANT(formerly called basic aid or formula amount) $5,745 in FY14 $5,800 in FY15 Adjusted by State Share Index

  14. Targeted Assistance TARGETED ASSISTANCE 2 Tiers

  15. TARGETED ASSISTANCE Tier 1 • Calculate state wealth per pupil - 50% Income, plus - 50% 3-year average property wealth 2) Calculate local wealth per pupil - 50% Income, plus - 50% 3-year average property Wealth 3) Divide no.1 by no. 2 = new Wealth Index for each pupil

  16. TARGETED ASSISTANCE(Cont) • Arrange all Local Wealth Indexes statewide from lowest to highest - identify 490th district (threshhold district) • For each district with less than the 490th district; - identify the difference in Local Wealth from 490th district - multiply the difference by 6 mills - multiply by the district’s Wealth Index - multiply by a district’s net ADM

  17. TARGETED ASSISTANCE(Tier 1 Simulated Calculation) 490th District Local Wealth = $180,000 Per Pupil 1)Sample District Local Wealth = $165,000, per pupil Sample District Wealth Index = 1.15 Difference in Local Wealth = $15,000 per pupil $15,000 x 6 mills (.006) = $90 per pupil $90 x 1.15 = $103.50 per pupil

  18. 2) Sample District Local Wealth = $120,000 per pupil Sample District Wealth Index = 1.60 Difference in Local Wealth = $60,000 per pupil $60,000 x 6 mills (.006) = $360 per pupil $360 x 1.6 = $576 per pupil

  19. TARGETED ASSISTANCE Tier 2 District’s agricultural Property Value * District’s Total Property Value = _____% - If percentage > 10% = 40% of Tier 1 funding - If percentage < 10% = percentage x 4 x Tier 1 funding • Only 39 districts statewide have no agricultural property value

  20. OPPORTUNITY GRANT CALCULATION Formula Amount Per Pupil $5,745 in FY 14 and $5,800 in FY15 times Formula ADM, plus preschool autism scholarship ADM times State Share Index of District
