From Michael.S.Elliott at ode.state.or.us Fri Sep 5 16:17:58 2014 From: Michael.S.Elliott at ode.state.or.us (ELLIOTT Michael S.) Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 23:17:58 +0000 Subject: [Busmgrs] Revised SSF Estimates Message-ID: <1220f3dfadf04cf4a717274773d00264@BLUPR04MB500.namprd04.prod.outlook.com> Dear Business Managers, The latest estimates and ADMw breakouts have been posted to the website. The links are below: District estimates: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/2014-15-ssf-estimate-as-of-9-5-14-1244hrs.pdf District ADMw breakouts: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/transparency-estimate-9-5-14-1244-hrs.pdf ESD estimates: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/esd-14-15-estimate-as-of-9-5-14-1545-hrs.pdf Many districts provided updates and all of those updates are reflected in the estimates. Additionally the Common School Fund estimates amounts for 2014-15 have been revised based on the latest estimates from the Department of State Lands. Some districts requested an opportunity to revise their information once school is under way and a new estimate be generated to take those changes into account. I am willing to do that so long as enough districts provide revisions for the estimate. Changing the estimates, and therefore changing the State School Fund affects the entire state. One or two districts, even if they are big districts is not necessarily enough to warrant a revision to the State School Fund. So if you would like to make changes in October, please let me know and I will reopen your collections. Once enough districts have made changes, I will produce another estimate. Please let me know if you have any questions.

As of today, approximately 75% of all districts have not requested their funding and we don't want anyone to miss this opportunity. Last May, district Superintendents received letters describing the purpose of the additional funding, specific district allocations, and appropriate uses of resources. The opportunity to claim these funds closes on Tuesday, September 30, 2014. For clarification, the funds must be claimed by September 30, districts will have the balance of the 2014-15 school year to spend the resources. To ensure we have adequate time to process your claims, we are asking that you access and draw down the funds by Thursday, September 25. Please contact Derek Brown, Director of Assessment, at 503-947-5841 or derek.brown at state.or.us if you have any additional questions - thank you. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
