LEA-to-School Allocations
“Ranking and Serving” Rules
1) Identify Eligible Schools
2) Rank Schools in Order of Poverty
3) Serve Schools Strictly in Accordance with Rank
5
Step 1: Identify Eligible Schools
Must list poverty and attendance for K-12 schools except alternative program and adult schools.
The enrollment in alternative programs is counted in the main school of attendance.
LEA doesn’t have the option to leave off any school such as a charter or high school.
6
LEA Discretion: School Eligibility
“35 Percent Rule”• May designate a school as eligible • Must apply the 125 rule
“Grandfathering” option• Continue to serve a school if served last year
even if poverty level has decreased• But, only continue for one year
7
5 Poverty Measures
1. Census data2. Free and reduced lunch3. TANF4. Medicaid eligibility5. Household survey (Community Eligibility)6. Composite of above
Must use the same date for all schools.
8
STEP 2:RANK ELIGIBLE SCHOOLS IN
ORDER OF POVERTY
9
Step 2: Rank Eligible Schools in order of poverty
Exceeding 75% poverty• Strictly by poverty• Without regard to grade span• In ePlan these should be given a “1”
At or below 75% poverty• May rank by grade span or straight district-
wide ranking (“2” or higher)
10
Exception: NO Rank & Serve IF
Small LEA exclusion• If <1000 students
One school at each grade span
11
STEP 3:SERVE SCHOOLS STRICTLY IN ORDER OF
RANK
12
Allocation to Schools
BUT first, calculate set-asides
Allocate to schools based on total # of students from low income families residing in area (including nonpublic)
Middle and High schools can use poverty measure from feeder elementary
Discretion on amount of PPA• Higher PPAs must be in higher schools on
ranked list
13
Allocations given without regard toschool-wide or targeted assistance model
Title I funding . . .
. . . To school based on poverty
. . . To student based on academics
14
“125 Percent” Rule
If serve any school <35%
Then PPAs for all schools must be at least 125% of LEA’s PPA under Title I allocation
• Entire LEA Title I-A Grant_ # of low income on census
15
EXAMPLE
$1,000,000 total Title I grant 2,000 poverty students
= $500/ student PPA
If serve school <35% poverty, $500 x 1.25 = $625 PPA
16
Exception: Rank & Serve
“Skip” school, if:
1) Comparability met2) Receiving supplemental state/local funds
used in Title I-like program3) Supp. State/local funds meet or exceed
amount would be received under Title I
Still count and serve nonpublic in area
17

Equitable Services forNon-public School Students
25
Calculation of Non-Public Allocation for Instruction
26
Equitable Services: Deriving Allocation
General Formula:
Based on number of:
1) Private school students 2) From low-income families3) Who reside in Title I-participating public
school attendance areas
27
Calculate Allocation for Instruction:
1) Identify eligible school attendance areas2) Rank in order of poverty3) Strictly serve in rank order (i.e., ID who is
“Participating Public School”)4) Calculate PPA for each area5) Derive allocation amount for each area• must include non-public low-income #
6) Reserve nonpublic amount• PPA x # of non-public low-income students
who reside in participating public school area
28
Reservation for District-wide Instruction
If LEA reserves for “district-wide instructional programs for public elementary and secondary”
Then proportional amount goes to nonpublic
34 CFR sect 200.64(a)(2)(i)(A)
29
Example
LEA reserves $500,000 for district-wide reading initiative
Of all low-income in LEA residing in participating attend areas, 5% are private
5% of $500,000 to private allocation
30
Applies to:
Summer school After school programs Reading coaches
DOES NOT APPLY TO: Preschool Services to only Focus and Priority Schools Homeless set-aside
31
Reservation for Teachers and Families
If LEA reserves funds for parental involvement or professional development
Then proportional amount to nonpublic
34 CFR sect 200.65(a)
32
Example
LEA reserves 1% of $500,000 allocation for parental involvement, or $5,000.
Of all low-income families residing in participating attend area, 6% are private. Then 6% of $5,000 used for families of participating private school students.
33
Non-public school in ePlan
ePlan revisions to simplify the non-public school calculations will occur this year.
We could use a couple of LEA volunteers who could help assist us with this revision. Any volunteers?
34
Consolidated Administration

Why would you NOT consolidate administration?
Why might you fund administration out of state or local funds?
