<div>Dear Business Managers,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The last 2012-13 estimates contained an error in how the transportation grant was calculated. Unfortunately, I did not catch that before publishing. Because this error affected every district, I have republished the estimates with the calculations corrected.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The district estimates can be found here: <a href="http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/2012-13-ssf-estimate-as-of-3-27-14-1007-hrs.pdf"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/2012-13-ssf-estimate-as-of-3-27-14-1007-hrs.pdf</u></font></a>.
The ADMw breakouts are here: <a href="http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/2012-13-adm-breakout-3-27-14-1040-hrs.pdf"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/2012-13-adm-breakout-3-27-14-1040-hrs.pdf</u></font></a>. The ESD estimates
are available here: <a href="http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/esd-12_13-estimate-as-of-3-27-14-1040-hrs.pdf"><font color="blue"><u>http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/esd-12_13-estimate-as-of-3-27-14-1040-hrs.pdf</u></font></a>.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The updates remain the same. The updates include:</div>
<ol style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<li>Adding the reserve fund to the general fund calculations</li><li>2012-13 annual ADM has been loaded into the estimate</li><li>2012-13 actual revenues have been loaded into the estimate</li><li>2012-13 Foster, Neglected and Delinquent counts are in the estimate</li><li>2012-13 Transportation costs are in the estimate*</li></ol>
<div> </div>
<div>The following continue to remain to be updated:</div>
<ol style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<li>IEP Cap Waiver weights</li><li>IEP weights adjusted for inter-district transfers</li><li>The distributions of the High Cost Disability and Small High School Grants</li><li>*Minor changes to individual districts’ Transportation Grants</li></ol>
<div> </div>
<div>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.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please let me know if you have any questions.</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Michael</div>
