The distributions are available here: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/misc/2013-14-csf-by-district-january-2014-3-3-14.pdf. The good news is the July payment should be closer to being made in July as the hard work of updating the ADMr by County Lines report has been done by Mike and Lorene. The bad news is that...well I don't have bad news for the Common School Fund right now so it is all good news. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The Facility Grant is $20 million for the 2013-15 biennium and will be prorated among qualified projects over the biennium. The estimated payout rate for the first half of the biennium is 5%. The estimated payout rate will be reconciled once all qualified expenses for the biennium have been totaled. This will ensure that all projects receive the same rate for the biennium. Those districts receiving a Facility Grant will receive the funding as part of their March 2014 SSF Payment.

Unfortunately, I did not catch that before publishing. Because this error affected every district, I have republished the estimates with the calculations corrected. The district estimates can be found here: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/2012-13-ssf-estimate-as-of-3-27-14-1007-hrs.pdf. The ADMw breakouts are here: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/2012-13-adm-breakout-3-27-14-1040-hrs.pdf. The ESD estimates are available here: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/esd-12_13-estimate-as-of-3-27-14-1040-hrs.pdf. The updates remain the same. The updates include: 1. Adding the reserve fund to the general fund calculations 2. 2012-13 annual ADM has been loaded into the estimate 3. 2012-13 actual revenues have been loaded into the estimate 4. 2012-13 Foster, Neglected and Delinquent counts are in the estimate 5. 2012-13 Transportation costs are in the estimate* The following continue to remain to be updated: 1. IEP Cap Waiver weights 2. IEP weights adjusted for inter-district transfers 3. The distributions of the High Cost Disability and Small High School Grants 4. *Minor changes to individual districts' Transportation Grants Thank you for your patience. 2013-14 will be out within a week or so. We will be rebalancing 2013-14 based on that estimate. Please let me know if you have any questions.
