Private School Share Page 47
Private School Equitable Share Formula Public Low Income + Non-Public Low Income = Total Low Income Students Served Example: 3603 + 88 = 3691 Non-Public Low Income divided by Total Low Income Served = Proportionate Share for nonpublic low income (6 decimal places) Example: 88 / 3691 =0.023842 48
Private School Equitable Share Applies to ALL non-mandated set asides Parent Involvement Professional Development Other set asides Salary Differentials Summer School 49
Equitable Share Budgeting Private School Share Public School Share Total Set Aside Amount In our previous example $150,000 is the total parental involvement set aside. $3,576 is the private school share. $146,424 would be budgeted for public school parental involvement and $3,576 for private school $425,000 is the TOTAL amount set aside for the Other Instructional Setasides. Therefore, $10,133 is the calculated private school share while $414,867 would be budgeted for the public schools. NOTE: Each of the set asides should be distributed based on the calculated Proportionate Share (0.023842) 50
Non-Public Participation Form Public Schools: Exhaust all means to reach out to the Non-Publics, and document it! 51
