NEW Private School Share Page 47
Private School Equitable Share Formula Public Low Income + Non-Public Low Income = Total Low Income Students Served 3603 + 88 = 3691 Non-Public Low Income divided by Total Low Income Served = proportionate share for nonpublic low income (6 decimal places) 88 / 3691 =0.023842 48
Private School Equitable Share Applies to all non-mandated set asides Parental involvement other categories Salary differential Summer school Professional development 49
Equitable Share Budgeting Private School Share Public School Share Total Set Aside Amount In our previous example $150,000 is the total parental involvement set aside. $3,576 is the private school share. $146,424 would be budgeted for public school parental involvement and $3,576 for private school $425,000 is the TOTAL amount set aside for the Other Instructional Setasides. Therefore, $10,133 is the calculated private school share while $414,867 would be budgeted for the public schools. NOTE: Each of the set asides should be distributed based on the calculated Proportionate Share (0.023842) 50
Non-Public Participation Form 51
Schoolwide Program Page 52
Schoolwide Flexibility Base Amount Example of how to figure the base amount are: 100% of GSA + 20% local revenues will be provided to each school, divided by enrollment. 80% of local revenue will be used for district operating costs. Each building will receive $4000 per student. Do not include federal grant dollars in the base amount. Federal dollars are supplemental to the base amount per student. 53
