The link to the page is here: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=341. Additionally I am including the spreadsheet on this email. This is the first step to sending out the 2014-15 common School Fund payments. The first payment for 2014-15 will be following shortly. I know many of you are wondering about the 2015-16 estimate. It is a high priority. Based on the information provided by the revenue forecast today we are confirming our assumptions and making some final updates. Additionally we are working to accommodate all of the districts that have made changes to their estimates such that the estimate is providing the most up to date information that we have. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

They can be found at the following links: * District Estimates: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/2015-16-ssf-estimate-as-of-2-24-15-1145-hrs.pdf * ADMw Breakouts: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/transparency-estimate-2-24-15.pdf * ESD Estimates: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/esd-15-16-estimate-as-of-2-24-15.pdf The 2015-16 Estimates include the following: 1. The Co-Chair's $7.235 billion budget is the basis for state funding 2. The Co-Chair's proposed increase to the High Cost Disability Grant to a total of $35 million per year is included 3. The Co-Chair's budget is split 49%/51% over the biennium 4. Full-day kindergarten as reported by the districts in the 2015-16 Estimate of Membership and Revenue is included 5. Statewide ADMw is estimated at 700,000 6. All district updates up to Friday February 19 are included 7. 2013 SAIPE data is included for poverty 8. Local revenue was estimated to increase 3%. This is based in part on the data reported by the school districts on their estimates of local revenue change. This is less than what Legislative Revenue Office is reporting, but more in line with what the districts are reporting. All other aspects of the estimates are based on current law. Thus, while there are many proposals to change the formula, only current law is used to form the estimate. The major exceptions being listed above. Please review and let me know if you have any questions. The tentative upcoming schedule for releases will be the March payment with the Facility Grant, 2014-15 estimate with second period ADM, and 2013-14 with annual ADM.
