5. You must continue to gain expertise, but avoid thinking like an expert. Denis Waitley I AM NO EXPERT. My other brother-in-law died. He was a karate expert, then joined the army. The first time he saluted, he killed himself. Henny Youngman What's an expert? I read somewhere, that the more a man knows, the more he knows, he doesn't know. So I suppose one definition of an expert would be someone who doesn't admit out loud that he knows enough about a subject to know he doesn't really know how much. Malcolm Forbes

6. Sitting next to his first teacher, President Johnson signs the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 on April 11, 1965. Reauthorized with different “nicknames” 1994 – Improving America’s School Act (Title I) 2001 – No Child Left Behind Modified through regulations and new funding 2008 – New Regulations – CFR 200 2009 – Title I ARRA funding 2011 – ESEA Flexibility Waivers January 2015 - Secretary Duncan’s new vision for ESEA LBJ State of Union War on Poverty

7. Purpose of Title I Increase the achievement of all students, particularly those who are disadvantaged Ensure all children have fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain high quality education Reach, at minimum, proficiency on challenging state standards & assessments

8. Allocation of Funds by ED Federal funds are allocated to state agencies through four statutory formulas that are based primarily on census poverty estimates and the cost of education in each state. Census: number of children 5-17 in families in poverty Total school-age population Total resident population State prior year per-pupil expenditure data Caseload data on the number of children in local N&D institutions, foster homes, and families above poverty receiving assistance under TANF

9. Allocation of Funds (SEA to LEAs, LEAs to Schools) ED to SEAs to LEAs Districts allocate funds to schools based on poverty data Districts create their own allocation procedures, but must serve schools with poverty rates above 75%

10. A Few Terms (…of endearment?) Per Pupil Allocation (PPA) – the amount of money per child allocated to a school Rank Order Rule – do not serve a lower poverty school with a higher PPA than a higher poverty school Poverty Data – districts choose which data to use to identify low-income students (free/reduced lunch, direct certified) PSES – public/private school eligibility survey that lists all schools in the district that are included on the master student identification files CLIF – children from low-income families Equitable Funding – private school students who reside in Title I attendance areas are eligible for Title I services. An equitable amount of funds from the Title I, Part A allocation is used to provide these services. Proportionate rate (# CLIF in private schools/# CLIF in public and private schools) multiplied by funding amount for district wide activities

11. Roll Forward/Carryover Unspent funds from the previous year’s allocation. May not exceed 15% of district’s allocation May not be used to serve non-Title I schools Options for using Roll Forward 1.Add to schools’ funding using the district’s allocation procedure 2.Use for programs that could use extra funding (parental involvement, schools with the highest concentration of poverty) (Increased funding to certain activities like school allocations and district-wide activities will result in an adjustment to private school allocations.)

17. Poverty Data & Ranking Schools

18. Ranking Schools by Poverty Rates Schools must be ranked in order of poverty percentages. Options for poverty criteria: Children eligible for free and reduced-priced lunches under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. Children in families receiving assistance under the State program funded under Title IV, Part A of the Social Security Act (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). Children eligible to receive medical assistance under the Medicaid program. A composite of any of the above measures.

19. Poverty Data Provided by FDOE on PSES Survey 3 Data - prior year data used for the PSES Free/reduced price lunch data Includes students ages 5-17 who are eligible for free or reduced price lunch Direct certified data Identified students include students who are 5-17 directly certified through SNAP; TANF; the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations; children experiencing homelessness who have been identified on the local liaison's list; Head Start participants; identified migrant youth; identified runaways; non-applicants approved by local officials; foster children who are certified through means other than a household application; and those eligible for Medicaid.

20. Options for Using Poverty Criteria to Serve Schools For Title I purposes, there are three available options for within- district allocations: 1.Use direct certified data for CEP schools (with the multiplier) and FRPL data for non-CEP school 2.Use direct certified data for all schools and use the multiplier for all schools 3.Use direct certified data for all schools without the use of the multiplier Option 2 and 3 will provide the same rank order, but option 2 will increase the schools’ poverty rates. Notes: Options 2 & 3 were released in the March 2015 CEP guidance and is still under discussion at FDOE.

21. New or Expanding Schools Use projected poverty data to rank a new or expanding school. Update PSES in October (Survey 2) with actual poverty data and the revised allocation (if necessary). Code K

22. School Allocations

23. Requirements for Determining School Allocations Poverty criteria must be the same for all schools for determining: Which schools to serve Rank order School allocations Only include students age 5-17 in the poverty data Rank schools in order of poverty, highest to lowest Allocate funds to all schools above 75% poverty (regardless of grade span) Exception: Districts with less than 1,000 students or only have one school in each grade span are not required to rank and serve schools in order of poverty.

24. District Allocation Procedures Requirements for Allocating Funds to Schools Use the same poverty criteria for all schools Only consider students ages 5-17 Ranks schools in order of poverty percentages, highest to lowest Serve all schools with poverty rates above 75%, regardless of grade span Serve all schools in rank order of poverty Considerations for Allocating Funds to Schools Serve schools below 75% poverty? Grade span group below 75% poverty? Skip schools? Grandfather? Split fund schools that include more than one grade span?

25. District Allocation Procedure – describes how funds will be allocated to schools (examples below) All schools above 75% will be served with a $500 PPA. Schools below 75% will be grouped by grade span. Only elementary grade levels (K-5) will be served below 75% at $300 PPA. All schools above 40% poverty will be served based on a tiered allocation procedure. 75% and higher will receive $400 PPA. Schools 60% to 74% will receive $300 PPA. 50% to 59% will receive $250 PPA. 40% to 49% will receive $200 PPA. Schools above 90% will be allocated $500 per child, between 80% and 89% will be allocated $400 per child, between 75% and 79% will be allocated $350. No schools below 75% will be served. Schools may be served down to the district poverty average or 35%, whichever is lowest. Schoolwide programs only down to 40% Determining School Allocations

26. Consideration for Determining School Allocations Grade Span Grouping After serving all schools above 75%, the district may group the remaining schools by grade span. Each grade span is determined based on how the district organizes it’s grade spans (K-5, 6-8, 9-12) If grade spans overlap (K-8, K-12), the district should place the school in the most appropriate grade span. May determine different PPAs for different grade spans so long as those amounts do not exceed the amount allocated to any area or school above 75 percent poverty. PPAs within grade spans may vary so long as schools are served in rank order.

27. Consideration for Determining School Allocations Split Funding K-12 School Grades K-5 Grades 6-8 Grades 9-12

28. Skipping Districts may choose not to serve an eligible school that has a higher poverty rate than a school that is being served. Three conditions must be met: 1.The school must meet comparability requirements 2.The school receives supplemental funds from other state or local sources that are spent according to the requirements of Title I (SAI) 3.The school expends funds equal to or exceeding the amount that it would be provided under Title I, Part A. Private school children residing in a “skipped” attendance area are eligible for Title I services. Consideration for Determining School Allocations

29. Feeder Pattern for Middle and High Schools Less likely to participate in free/reduced lunch programs Districts have flexibility for counting children from low-income families in middle and high schools. May use the “feeder pattern” concept to project the number of low- income students based on the poverty rate of the elementary school that feeds into the school. Consideration for Determining School Allocations

30. Grandfathering For one additional year only, designate and serve a school that is no longer eligible but was eligible and served in the preceding year. section 1113(b)(1)(C) “No longer eligible” means below 35% or the DPA, whichever is lower Consideration for Determining School Allocations

32. A Starting Place for School Allocations Determine the per pupil amount (PPA) by dividing the total remaining allocation by the total number of low-income students in the Title I schools being served (including private school students residing in a Title I attendance area). This PPA is a guide to determine how to fund each Title I school based on the assumption all students have the same PPA. Calculate school allocations by # of low-income students x per pupil amount (PPA) Schools served in rank order may be funded at different per pupil amounts (PPA) as long as higher poverty schools have = or > PPA

37. Private School Reservations

38. Private School Income Data and Funding Funds are generated on a per child basis (income data) Districts have options for determining poverty criteria for private school children. If possible, use same measure of poverty for both public and private school students. (multiple methods may be used) FRPL or another similar source (TANF) Income survey Extrapolated survey data (if complete actual data is unavailable) Proportionality (apply poverty rate of public schools to the number of private children who reside in that attendance area) Every two years Not all students who generate funding receive services. To receive services, children must meet criteria established during consultation.

39. Instructional Allocations for Private School Children The PPA is the basis for determining instructional allocations for private schools. Determine where the child would attend school if attending public school (residential address). Assign the PPA for the (home) Title I school to each child attending a private school. In addition, if the district reserves funds off the top of a district-wide instructional activity, additional funding may be available for instructional services for private school children.

40. Reservations for Private Schools Types of services (and funding) for private schools 1.Instructional PPA from residential school Equitable share of set-aside, if application 2.Parental Involvement Equitable share 3.Professional Development Equitable share of set-aside, if application

41. Low-Income Private School Students Once the district has determined the number of low-income students (using their preferred measure of poverty), the district can apply the appropriate PPA to the correct number of children for each public school attendance area.

42. Howdy, Neighbor! It is the responsibility of the district where the student resides to provide Title I services. Districts may have agreements with neighboring districts that outline how private school students will be served. Administration, consultation, delivery of services, evaluation? Will funds be transferred? Remember to reserve funds in the Title I budget for private school students who reside in your districts and attend private schools in neighboring districts
