  1. Implications of 2776: New Basic Education Funding Formula For Business Managers Fall 2010

  2. Purpose • To provide a brief technical walk through of the new funding structure that will be implemented in September 2011.

  3. Prototypical School Funding Model

  4. What is Prototypical School? • Prototypical school is a fixed theoretical school size that is used for modeling purposes. • Replaces the ratio paradigm currently used. • As adopted in 2776, it is a scalable model. • Funding formula assumptions are based upon a prototypical school and assumed class size. • Class size assumptions are different based upon grade and subject.

  5. 2776 - Prototypical School Size • In reality, school configurations vary widely and are not always consistent with the prototype model. • Funding is based upon the student grade level rather than a school’s classification. • Prototype allocations will be based on district wide grade level enrollment.

  6. 2776 – Prototypical Assumption of Class Size

  7. Class Size to Teacher Conversion • Converting the assumed class size to actual teachers is complex and is based upon standard state assumptions about: • Student instructional hours per day. • Teacher planning time: • Assumed instructional day of 5.6 hours for elementary, and 6 hours for middle and high schools. • Assumed planning time 13% or 45 minutes for elementary, and 17% or 60 minutes for secondary. • Instructional workload of each teacher.

  8. 2776: School Level Classroom Teachers

  9. 2776: Other Staffing in a School

  10. District Level Funding

  11. 2776: Districtwide Support

  12. 2776: Central Administration • Central Administration is 5.3% of staffing units generated as K-12 teachers, School Level Staffing, and Districtwide Support. • The Central Administration percentage is NOT applied to enhancements. Examples include: Poverty, Lab Science, AP/IB, CTE, Skills Centers, or Categorical Program Staffing.

  13. 2776: MSOC – Formerly Known as NERC • MSOC values for Lab Science, CTE exploratory, CTE preparatory, and Skills Centers will be defined in the omnibus appropriations act.

  14. OtherFunding

  15. Categorical Program Current Funding • Current funding is based on dollars only. • No detail about staffing or service delivery is provided. • Difficult to determine what the legislature is actually funding.

  16. 2776: Categorical Programs • Calculated hours above are converted to staffing units for funding purposes. (Assumed to be teachers.) • Initially to be funded using statewide staff mix factor, but could convert to district specific staff mix in the future. • Designed to be cost neutral. • Funds must be used for these programs. • Allocations only; districts decide on appropriate expenditures within the program to meet student needs.

  17. Categorical Programs • LAP: Poverty and Bilingual concentration factors are not continued. • hold harmless provided to those districts in lieu of continuation of that formula component. • Current groups headed by OSPI are developing new funding formula proposals for programs such as LAP and TBIP.

  18. 2776: Special Education • Special Education funding did not change.

  19. What comes next? Looking Forward

  20. 2776 Build Out • Legislation targets ending value for K-3 class size and MSOC. • Establishes a poverty enhancement for schools with FRPL > 50%; however, it does not implement.

  21. 2776: CTE and Skills Centers • CTE and Skills Center pupil FTE are included in classified staffing calculations under school level staffing and districtwide support.

  22. Transition of Formula: Hold Harmless • SHB 2776 states that the Legislature intends that funding shall not be decreased below current levels. • Per-pupil basic education funding. • Funding streams are discretely held harmless. • At the school district level.

  23. What does this mean to the F-203? • Many more variables that may be revised under the “X” option. • Hold harmless (BEA) will not be a part of the F-203. • LAP hold harmless can be manually entered based on calculations from an excel model provided. • Capacity in this system is greater than expected implementation will utilize. • Programers will remain on site during the F-203 roll out for fixes and trouble shooting.
