  1. How does Special and Regular Education Data relate to Special Education funding May 24, 2016 > www.education.pa.gov

  2. Why is data so important • Every child counts when it comes to funding • Every allocation starts with a data file • The administration signs off on the data file before it is submitted to PDE • You want to sign off on correct data? • Make sure your data person is one of your most detailed, accurate, and dedicated employees • Let me give you an example of how important data is to allocations > www.education.pa.gov

  3. Let’s start with the IDEA Federal Allocation • OSEP gives each State their allocation based on their own statewide data • Total allocation 420,403,039 • Administration 8,391,220 • Discretionary 41,624,060 • Pass Through 370,387,759 > www.education.pa.gov

  4. We are only allocating the pass through • The first thing that comes off is the base payment, $117,401,428, which has been the same since 1999 • This looks like this: 370,387,759 – 117,401,428 = 252,986,331 • In accordance with 34 CFR 300.705 b(1) Base Payments • The State must first award each LEA what each LEA would have received under section 611 of the Act for fiscal year 1999 > www.education.pa.gov

  5. What is the rest of the allocation • In accordance with the 34 CFR 330.705b(3)(i)(ii), 85% of the remaining funds are distributed based on the relative number of children (not just special education) enrolled in public and private elementary and secondary schools within the intermediate unit’s region. • 15% of any remaining funds are distributed based on the number of students living in poverty within the intermediate unit’s region > www.education.pa.gov

  6. IU Public Private/Nonpublic Total • 50,784 2,190 52,974 • 2 27,660 7,660 35,320 • 3 121,604 15,390 136,994 • 4 54,113 4,362 58,475 • 5 53,607 6,832 60,439 • 6 23,716 2,605 26,321 • 7 48,753 2,928 51,681 • 8 51,704 5,706 57,410 • 9 12,875 1,130 14,005 • 10 26,243 2,731 28,974 • 11 16,164 1,968 18,132 • 12 91,846 7,115 98,961 • 13 86,776 17,498 104,274 • 14 68,843 5,713 74,556 • 15 90,658 10,117 100,775 Total Public and Private/Nonpublic Enrollment > www.education.pa.gov

  7. IU Public Private/Nonpublic Total • 16 33,244 3,740 36,984 • 17 31,575 1,480 33,055 • 18 45,233 3,937 49,170 • 19 43,316 3,419 46,735 • 20 77,239 6,199 83,438 • 21 61963 5,366 67,329 • 22 88,705 12,938 101,643 • 23 109,611 28,851 138,462 • 24 90,015 13,056 103,071 • 25 73,682 17,547 91,229 • 26 201,599 36,815 238,414 • 27 33,765 1,069 34,834 • 28 19,601 1,680 21,281 • 29 18,642 1,459 20,101 • Total 1,753,536 231,501 1,985,037 Total Public and Private/Nonpublic Enrollment > www.education.pa.gov

  8. Remember our pass through number $252,986,331 • And our Total Public and Private/Nonpublic Number 1,985,037 • The calculation looks like this: • $252,986,331 x 85% = $215,038,381.35 • $215,038,381.35/1,985,037 = $108.3297 • This means that every public and private/nonpublic child that is counted or not counted is worth $108.3297 With this data we can allocate our 85% > www.education.pa.gov

  9. IU Public Low Income Nonpublic Low Income Total Low Inc. • 1 23,089 642 23,731 • 2 22,628 2,127 24,755 • 3 40,227 3,554 43,781 • 4 20,088 1,045 21,133 • 5 29,244 1,385 30,629 • 6 12,230 545 12,775 • 7 17,148 604 17,752 • 8 26,570 994 27,564 • 9 6,105 347 6,452 • 10 10,416 235 10,651 • 11 8,136 167 8,303 • 12 36,997 1,129 38,126 • 13 35,973 1,026 36,999 • 14 32,242 1,524 33,766 • 15 29,405 1,208 30,613 Next is 15% based on the number of students living in poverty > www.education.pa.gov

  10. IU Public Low Income Nonpublic Low Income Total Low Inc. • 16 14,012 300 14,312 • 17 14,166 274 14,440 • 18 24,609 692 25,301 • 19 21,325 421 21,746 • 20 34,813 890 35,703 • 21 29,754 1,536 31,290 • 22 20,912 977 21,889 • 23 26,255 2,489 28,744 • 24 16,461 1,167 17,628 • 25 29,355 1,647 31,002 • 26 162,194 13,680 175,874 • 27 10,128 335 10,463 • 28 8,657 167 8,824 • 29 8,890 369 9,259 • Total 772,029 41,476 813,505 Next is 15% based on the number of students living in poverty > www.education.pa.gov

  11. Remember our pass through number $252,986,331 • And our Total Low Income Public and Private/Nonpublic Number 813,505 • The calculation looks like this: • $252,986,331 x 15% = $37,947,949.65 • $37,947,949.65/813,505 = $46.6475 • This means that every public and private/nonpublic child living in poverty that is counted or not counted is worth $46.6475 With this data we can allocate our 15% > www.education.pa.gov

  12. Let’s look at IU 13 • IU 13’s Base Payment has been $5,742,747 since FY 1999 • Their Total Enrollment figure is 104,274 • $108.3297 x 104,274 = $11,295,971 • Their Low Income figure is 36,999 • $46.6475 x 36,999 = $1,725,910 • $5,742,747 + $11,295,971 + $1,725,910 = $18,764,628 IU 13’s Total Allocation Now that we have all the data we can allocate our IU’s > www.education.pa.gov

  13. If IU 13 has 35 nonpublic’s and 23 SD’s and CS’s • And one student was missed in every nonpublic, SD, and CS. • That would be 58 students, half of them were low income • 104,274 – 58 = 104,216 total enrollment • $108.3297 x 104,216 = $11,289,688.02 - $11,295,971 = ($6,282.98) • 36,999 – 29 = 36,970 total low income • $46.6475 x 36,970 = $1,724,558.08 - $1,725,910 = ($1,351.92) • ($6,282.98) + ($1,351.92) = ($7,634.90) Every child counts What would happen if students were missed > www.education.pa.gov

  14. We also determine a per child amount for the CS’s and SD’s • We had an LEA that missed counting 10 students • They didn’t notice it until they got their allocation • The per child amount was $1,179.81 • $1,179.81 X 10 = ($11,798.10) • They called immediately when they realized their allocation was off that much over the previous year • Sadly, once it is signed off by the administrator and submitted to OSEP, it is too late This is why your data counts are so important > www.education.pa.gov
