[Busmgrs] 2013-14 Small High School Grant

[ELLIOTT Michael S]

Dear Business Managers,

The latest Small High School Grant information has been posted to the website. You can find the latest information here: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/misc/13-14-and-14-15-smhs-grant-calculator-as-of-4-16-15.pdf. If you would like to review past information, as well as other information, you can go here: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?id=1363.

The Small High School Grant is a sub-grant of the State School Fund. $2.5 million per year is removed from the formula and distributed to districts through this grant. A district qualifies if it has a high school with less than 350 students in four grades or 267 students in 3 grades. Alternative education programs and charter schools do not qualify for this grant.

This is different from the correction. The correction has similar qualifications, but it adds weights to a district's ADMw. Thus, the correction is part of the formula and the amount of funding per weight in the correction fluctuates with the rest of the formula.

Currently the Small High School Grant, the $2.5 million sub-grant, is scheduled to end on June 30, 2015. However, there appears to be interest in continuing the Small High School Grant beyond the 2014-15 year. If any of those bills are passed, I will work the updated information into future estimates for 2015-16 and beyond as I am able to do so.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you,
Michael
