Notification of Tentative Census Poverty and Hold Harmless Percentages Used to Determine School Year 2018-2019 Title I, Part A Funding

Although at this point we do not have a Title I, Part A allocation for the state or for districts, we can provide this planning tool that will help you arrive at an estimate of your allocation for the 2018-2019 school year. Keep in mind that all numbers provided here are tentative and are subject to change.

Below, you will find a brief explanation of factors used in determining allocations, including definitions of some key terms and a table that shows your poverty and hold harmless percentage. A more detailed explanation of Title I, Part A allocation procedures can be found in the Title I, Part A Handbook. Any questions can be directed toward your KDE Title I, Part A consultant via email or phone at 502-564-3791.

Formula Children

The U.S. Department of Education bases Title I, Part A allocations on estimates of the number and percentage of formula children in each district (as provided by the U.S. Census Bureau), along with updated state per-pupil expenditure data. Formula children are defined below.

Children ages 5-17 residing in the geographic boundaries of the school district from families below the poverty level identified from census data compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Census poverty children comprise the greatest portion of formula children. The U.S. Department of Education uses updated Census estimates to calculate Title I allocations.

Children ages 5-17 in licensed facilities for foster children updated annually by the Kentucky Cabinet for Families and Children and reported to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. This is the number of children living in foster care for at least 30 consecutive days, at least one day of which was in the month of October.

Children ages 5-17 in local institutions for neglected children reported annually by the Kentucky Department of Education to the U.S. Department of Education. This is the number of children who resided in an institution for neglected children for at least 30 consecutive days, at least one day of which was in the month of October.

For school year 2018-2019, the tentative formula child estimate for each district can be found in the chart at the end of this document. Keep in mind that the numbers in the chart do not reflect free and reduced lunch numbers nor do they reflect enrollment numbers. Census numbers are gathered through decennial data, household survey data, administrative records data, and population estimates. In addition, the numbers for foster and neglected children are not included in the counts, as they are not available at this time. For comparison purposes, the final poverty percentage that was used to help determine the current school year’s Title I, Part A funds is included.

The population and poverty estimates data are here for your review and to aid in planning. The Census Bureau has established a period for reviewing these data, which ends February 28, 2018. A district may challenge these poverty estimates if it believes that they are incorrect and can document non-statistical errors that have been made such as 1) processing input data and 2) processing information that defines a school district’s geographic boundaries. To initiate a challenge of these estimates and to obtain information on that process, a school district is required to contact the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) Branch at the Census Bureau at:

(301) 763-3193 orEmail: [email protected]

When sending an email, include your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, and organization affiliation. For more information and guidance concerning the Census Bureau’s challenge procedures, please see the following website:

https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/saipe/about/contact/challenges.html

Information about the data sources and the methodology used to prepare these data is available at:

https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/saipe/about.html

If your district challenges the Census estimates provided, please also notify your KDE Title I, Part A consultant. Please note, the Kentucky Department of Education cannot revise your Census estimates. Only the U.S. Census Bureau can do so.

Title I, Part A Funding Sources

The U.S. Department of Education allocates funding to districts through four funding sources, each with its own qualification requirement. To be eligible to receive funding through each pot, individual districts must meet the minimum poverty criteria, as follows: Basic Grants: The number of formula children must be at least 10 and more than 2% of

the total school-aged population. Concentration Grants: The number of formula children within the district must exceed

either 6,500 or 15% of the total number of children aged 5 through 17. To qualify for this funding source, an LEA must meet the eligibility criteria in the current year or have met the criteria at least once in the four years prior to the current year. Because falling out of eligibility for this funding source can greatly affect your total allocation, KDE will contact you if this applies.

Targeted Grants: The number of formula children must be at least 10 and at least 5% of the total number of children aged 5 through 17.

Education Finance Incentive Grants: The number of formula children must be at least 10 and at least 5% of the total number of children aged 5 through 17.

Hold-Harmless Provisions

Title I, Part A has a variable hold-harmless guarantee, which sets the minimum allocation for each district, as long as the district is eligible to receive funds from the same Part A funding sources as in the previous year and sufficient funds are appropriated by the U.S. Congress. Districts can estimate their minimum allocations for next school year by multiplying their hold harmless rate found in the chart below by the current year’s final allocation. Be aware, the final hold-harmless percentage for next year’s allocation depends on the total formula child count for each district. Since the total formula child count is not available, the tentative hold-harmless percentage provided here is based solely on the census poverty percentage. The tentative hold harmless rate for a district could change with the addition of the other formula students.

Hold harmless rates apply as follow: 95% if the district’s poverty percentage is 30% or greater; 90% if the district’s poverty percentage is between 15% and 30%; or 85% if the district’s poverty percentage is below 15%.

Note: Poverty percentages are reported to two decimal places and will not be rounded to the nearest whole number in the determination of hold harmless percentages.
