14 14 Context: What are the overall strengths and weaknesses of my school (based on Quality Review, Progress Report and other data)? What goals do I have for the coming year? Required: What do I need to serve my students at a basic level? What commitments has my school already made? Account: How much money do I have left after meeting initial requirements? Focus: What needs and priorities remain? What people, services and materials would I ideally purchase for my school? Trade-offs: What are the different ways I can meet my needs and priorities given the resources I have left to spend?

These funds are all unrestricted and should be used to fund school mandates first. The remainder may be used at the principal’s discretion. TL Fair Student Incremental Funding (HS) Schools with budgets below their FSF formula will receive additional funding in this allocation category. TL FSF General Hold Harmless (HS) Schools with an FSF formula that is less than prior year funding will receive this allocation in an effort to maintain the funding level. TL Children First Funding These funds are to be used by schools to purchase their School Support Organization. Any remaining funds can be used at the principal’s discretion to best meet the needs of their students.

37 37 BUDGET and GRANT MANAGEMENT FUND SOURCES / Tax Levy < Previous Page Next Page > Grade Weights >Each student has a base level of funding depending on their grade level. >Schools with non-traditional grade configurations will receive base weight in more than one category.  For example, a K–8 school will receive respective weights for their K–5 and 6-8 students.  A 6th grader carries the same weight whether they attend a 6–8, K–8, or 6–12 school.

These students receive the Achievement weight. >Eligibility is based on the same factors as Title I. Go to Table of Contents End Session

39 39 BUDGET and GRANT MANAGEMENT FUND SOURCES / Tax Levy < Previous Page Next Page > 39 Academic Intervention Weight >This weight is based on the student’s academic standing when they first enter a school. It remains even if the standing improves, not penalizing a school’s or student’s success. >This weight is split into two tiers: Category 1 for lowest achievers and Category 2 for students closer to proficiency.  For FY10, Far Below Standards weights, per student, are 0.50 (6-8) and 0.40 (9-12)  For FY10, Below Standards weights, per student, are 0.35 (6-8) and 0.25 (9-12) >This weight is not applicable for schools beginning before 4 th grade.

40 40 BUDGET and GRANT MANAGEMENT FUND SOURCES / Tax Levy < Previous Page Next Page > >In FY10, students who enter a school with no scores will be allocated weights in proportion with the rest of the school. >This is a change from the previous formula when students with missing scores did not receive any weight. >For Example, 10% of a school’s students are “well below standards” and 20% are “below standards.” 10 new students are missing scores when they enter. The school will receive a well below standards weight for one of those students (10%) and a below standards weight for two of those students (20%).

44 44 BUDGET and GRANT MANAGEMENT FUND SOURCES / Tax Levy < Previous Page Next Page > Special Education Weights >Funding for special education classroom services will foster development of instructional models tailored to student needs. >Schools receive per-student funding based on the number of periods a day that a student requires special education services. For FY09, these weights are as follows:  Less than 20%: 0.56  Between 20% and 60%: 0.68  Greater than 60% (Self-contained): 1.23 (K–8), 0.73 (9–12)  Greater than 60% (integrated/CTT): 2.28 (K–8), 2.52 (9–12)  CTT classes are held to same contractual class size for general education classes, with no more than 40% of the class with an IEP.  Schools must organize CTT classes with requisite number of General Education students to allow placement of Special Education students up to maximum allowable. >Special education students also carry Academic and ELL weights if they are eligible. >Funding for other IEP-mandated services, including Related Services, IEP teachers, IEP paraprofessionals, Assistive Technology, APE teachers and District 75 programs is received through separate allocations.

51 ARRA will add funds, but will not fully close the gap  Stabilization funds helped reduce the cut.  Increase formula grants  IDEA dollars will help fund the increase in mandated special education services  Title I funds will provide more resources to more of our schools  Competitive funds may eventually bring additional funds to state and city, but full details are not yet available  Non-educational ARRA funds - we are working to get additional stimulus dollars via the competitive grants and working with other agencies  Important notes regarding stimulus funds  Districts and schools do not need to apply for the stimulus funds  Bulk of the money will flow to NYC in two forms: Stabilization funds awarded on a per capita basis and Formula Grants using traditional formulas such as Title I and IDEA  Federal Government has made it clear that the quality and transparency of our expenditure reporting, beginning this summer, could impact our funding next year. BUDGET and GRANT MANAGEMENT FUND SOURCES / ARRA < Previous Page Next Page > Go to Table of Contents End Session

52 Budget gap will impact schools more significantly than in recent years  Continue to minimize cuts to schools – central took 13% cut when schools took 3% cut in FY09 and reduced central and administrative positions by 8%. Central will continue to take reductions.  Schools’ total budgets will be reduced by the same percentage across nearly all schools.  Looking at total budgets this year as opposed to budget allocations excluding the federal dollars  Less than 100 schools will experience a smaller percentage reduction due to their mix of funding streams. < Previous Page Next Page > Go to Table of Contents End Session BUDGET and GRANT MANAGEMENT FUND SOURCES / ARRA

53 This decrease follows significant budget increases that helped build the foundation for significant student achievement gains  Brought $8 billion new dollars into system over 7 years  Moved over $350 million out of the bureaucracy into schools  Increased per pupil spending by over 20% since 2004  Increasing teacher quality as we are now at 100% certified teachers  Increased funding for students with the greatest academic challenges at a relatively higher rate over the last 3 years  All of this built a stronger base from which to take the cut These sizeable investments have provided our schools with the instructional and operational resources and structures needed to support improving student achievement now and in the future BUDGET and GRANT MANAGEMENT FUND SOURCES / ARRA < Previous Page Next Page > Go to Table of Contents End Session

While the State allows some of the increase in year-over-year Foundation Aid funding to be used for growth in general operating costs and investment in ongoing programs, the majority is subject to the provisions of the “Contracts for Excellence”. New York City schools received Contracts for Excellence, or C4E, funds for the first time in 2007–08. C4E dollars are preliminary.
