Title II, Part A:
Amount available for allocation in 2007-08: $216,018,201
The 2007-08 amount is approximately two percent less than in 2006-07. However, this amount includes $1.5 million of unused prior year funds that were available for redistribution to school districts and charter schools. The funds were redistributed using the formula described below.
How the Title II, Part A local allocations are calculated by SED:
A portion of the State’s allocation must be reserved for a hold harmless requirement in the NCLB legislation, and the remainder is distributed based on enrollment and poverty factors.
The hold harmless requirement provides an LEA with a base Title II, Part A allocation that is equal to what it received in allocations in 2001-02 for the former federal Eisenhower Professional Development and Class Size Reduction programs. (Title II, Part A combined the Eisenhower Professional Development and Class Size Reduction programs into one program.)
The amount remaining after meeting the hold harmless requirement is broken up into three parts – 20 percent for student population, 40 percent for poverty and 40 percent for concentrated poverty.
An LEA’s portion of the population part is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s total of children ages 5-17 who live in the LEA's geographic area. For example, a school district that has five percent of the State’s total student population in its geographic area will receive five percent of the population part of the Title II, Part A State allocation.
An LEA’s portion of the poverty part is based on its share of the State total of children ages 5-17 who are living in poverty. (Poverty data is from the updated 2000 census and is provided to SED by the U.S. Department of Education.)
An LEA qualifies for receiving funds from the concentrated poverty component by having a percentage of children in poverty that exceeds the statewide average of 18.46%. Each of the qualifying LEAs receives a portion of the component based on its share of children in poverty within the qualifying group of LEAs.
Each LEA’s portions of the three parts are summed up.
An LEA’s Title II, Part A allocation is the sum of its hold harmless amount and its portion of the remainder.
LEA allocations include set-asides for nonpublic schools.
Title II, Part D:
Amount available for allocation in 2007-08: $11,916,656
The 2007-08 amount is approximately 1 percent less than in 2006-07. This amount includes $250,000 of unused prior year funds that were available for redistribution to school districts and charter schools. The funds were redistributed using the allocation formula described below.
How the Title II, Part D local allocations are calculated by SED:
An LEA’s allocation is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s 2007-08 Title I, Part A allocation. For example, a school district that received 1.5 percent of the State’s Title I, Part A allocation will receive 1.5 percent of the State’s Title II, Part D allocation.
LEA allocations include set-asides for nonpublic schools.
Title IV, Part A
Amount available for allocation in 2007-08: $19,601,026
The 2007-08 amount is approximately the same as the 2006-07 amount.
How local allocations are calculated by SED:
The State’s allocation is separated into two components: 2006-07 Title I, Part A and total enrollment. The first component gets 60 percent of the State’s allocation and the attendance component gets 40 percent of the State’s allocation.
An LEA’s portion of the Title I, Part A component is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s 2006-07 Title I, Part A allocation.
An LEA’s portion of the attendance component is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s total student enrollment (public and nonpublic).
An LEA’s Title IV, Part A allocation is the sum of its portions of the two components.
LEA allocations include set-asides for nonpublic schools.
Title V, Part A
Amount available for allocation in 2006-07: $5,444,589
The 2007-08 amount is approximately 25 percent less than the 2006-07 amount. This amount includes $500,000 of unused prior year funds that were available for redistribution to school districts and charter schools. The funds were redistributed using the formula described below.
How local allocations are calculated by SED:
The State’s allocation is separated into four components: poverty, concentrated poverty, enrollment and geographical sparsity. The first two components each get 35 percent of the State allocation, and the latter two components each get 15 percent of the State allocation.
An LEA’s portion of the poverty component is based on the LEA’s share of the State total of children ages 5-17 who are living in poverty. (Poverty data is from the updated 2000 census and is provided to us by the U.S. Department of Education.)
An LEA qualifies for receiving funds from the concentrated poverty component by having a percentage of children in poverty that exceeds the Statewide average of 18.46%. Each of the qualifying LEAs receives a portion of the component based on its share of children in poverty within the qualifying group of LEAs.
An LEA’s portion of the enrollment component is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s total student enrollment (public and nonpublic).
An LEA qualifies for receiving funds from the sparsity component by having less than 23 students per square mile (the federal definition of sparsity). Each of the qualifying LEAs receives a portion of the component based on its share of students within the qualifying districts.
An LEA’s Title V, Part A allocation is the sum of its portions of the four components.
LEA allocations include set-asides for nonpublic schools.
