Combined District Cost Regular Program Cost +Weighted Enrollment Funding + Budget Guarantee (Budget Adjustment) + AEA Program Funding + SBRC Funding Combined District Cost
Regular Program District Cost District Cost Per Pupil X Number of Pupils Regular Program District Cost (Basic “pool” of money for the district)
District Cost Per Pupil – FY 06 $5,106 - Highest $4,931 - Lowest $175 - Range District Cost Per Pupil Increases Each Year by a Per Pupil Amount (Per Pupil Allowable Growth)
Allowable Growth Rate • Recommended by the Governor • Established by the Legislature
AllowableGrowth Amount Allowable Growth Rate xState Cost Per Pupil = Growth Per Pupil for example 2006-2007 4% Allowable Growth Rate X FY06 State Cost Per Pupil ($4,931) =$197 Per Pupil
State Cost Per Pupil FY 2007: $4,931+$197= $5,128 FY06 State Cost + Allowable Growth
State Cost Per Pupil $5,128 • Used to Determine Allowable Growth Per Pupil for the Next Year • Used to Determine Minimum District Cost
Basic Funding Pupil Driven System (Pupils x Cost Per Pupil = Regular Program Budget) • Pupil Count • Pupils Weighted • Special Education • English Language Learners • Share Teachers/Pupils/Regional Academies • At-Risk Formula • Reorganization Incentives • Budget Adjustment
Basic Funding Pupil Count • Pupils are counted for funding purposes by where they reside – not where they attend • Resident Pupils Counted as 1.0 • Shared Time (Nonpublic counted FTE basis) • Count taken as of October 1 • October 2006 used to determine 2007-08 funding
Basic Funding Pupil Count • Basic enrollment • 451,884 Resident • Includes Dual Enrolled • Home School Assistance Students • 23,155 Open Enroll Out • 5,931 Tuition Out
Basic Funding Pupil Count • Shared time (Nonpublic) • 332 FTE Students • Tuitioned to a Community College • 1680 FTE Students • Other Unique Situations • 122 FTE Students
Weighted Enrollment Funding Pupil Driven System • Weights “Add” Pupils • Weights x District Cost Per Pupil Adds Funding
Weighted Enrollment Funding Pupil Driven System • Weights • Provide Funding to Cover Additional Cost • Special Education • English Language Learners • Shared Teachers/Students/Regional Academies • At-Risk Students • Provide Incentives • Shared Teachers/Students/Regional Academies • Whole Grade Sharing/Reorganization

Weighted Enrollment Funding • English Language Learners (ELL) FY07 • Weight = .22 • Student Eligible to be Counted for Fours Years (Effective with FY07: 3,089) • Total Additional Weight = 735.56 • Generates $15.9 Million
