Parent/Community Engagement • November 20, 2013 • DAC reviewed student counts • December 18, 2013 • DAC reviewed/discussed proposed 2014-15 Title I Plan and School Allocations • DAC formed a subcommittee to review proposed plans • Superintendent communicated her intention to keep the overall site funding at $15.4M • January 8, 2013 • DAC subcommittee convened with district staff • January 15, 2013 • DAC reviews subcommittee recommendations and Board discussion
2014-15 Title I Entitlement • Planning began with a projected decrease of 11% (influenced by sequestration and California’s relative share of national poverty) • Changes have now improved the outlook • Effect of sequestration is substantially reduced • Revised census information now indicates that California has slightly increased its share of national poverty • CDE still needs to determine required state-level set-asides before determining district allocations
2014-15 Site Allocations • Proposed amount remains at $15.4 million • Threshold remains the same, i.e., 40% • Distribution method remains the same, i.e., sliding scale • Declining enrollment results in the same amount of funding distributed to fewer students
Required Reservations • 20% PI set-aside for SES and PISC (free tutoring and transportation) • 10% set-aside for professional development • 1% set-aside for parental involvement • Equitable participation for eligible students in private schools • Equitable participation for homeless students
Not-Required Allocations • Parent Involvement activities beyond the minimum requirement • Site support for SSCs and SPSAs • Dropout prevention (Goal 5 in LEA Plan) • Administration of required PI activities, e.g., SES, PISC, parent notifications, PI Year 4 restructuring plans, LEA Plan revision • Assessment and data services • Indirect cost billed services
Superintendent’s Priorities • Stability at sites — programs and staffing Continue but fund differently: • Class Size Reduction • Professional Development tied to the Common Core State Standards
Superintendent’s Recommendations • Keep site allocation amount at prior level • Discontinue Title I funded class size reduction • Spend the legally-mandated minimum amount on professional development (10% of entitlement, including amounts required of schools in program improvement)
