Purpose: To equalize funding based on wealth of district 1) District 3-Average Valuation
District ADM = District per Pupil Valuation
2) State 3-yr Average ValuationState ADM = State Per Pupil Valuation
3) District Per Pupil Valuation State Per Pupil Valuation = District Valuation Index
4) District Median Income State Median Income = District Income Index
State Share Index
State Share Index
5) Is district valuation index greater than district income index?
- To determine District’s Wealth Index6) State Share Index determined by formula
based on District’s Wealth Index
Will be the same in 2013-14 and in 2014-15
State Share Index
Minimum of 5 %
Maximum of 90%
Based on wealth index
State Share IndexWealth Index State Share Index
If less than 0.35 90%
If less than or equal to 0.9 and greater than 0.35
Between 50% and 90%
If less than 1.8 and greater than 0.9

Student Counts
Kindergarten students counted on FTE basis and counted at 50% if tuition charged for all day kindergarten

Targeted Assistance
2 Tiers
TARGETED ASSISTANCE
TARGETED ASSISTANCETier 1
1) Calculate state wealth per pupil- 50% Income, plus- 50% 3-year average property wealth
2) Calculate local wealth per pupil- 50% Income, plus- 50% 3-year average property Wealth
3) Divide no.1 by no. 2 = new Wealth Index for each pupil
TARGETED ASSISTANCE(Cont)
4) Arrange all Local Wealth Indexes statewide from lowest to highest
- identify 490th district (threshhold district)
5) For each district with less than the 490th district;
- identify the difference in Local Wealth from 490th district
- multiply the difference by 6 mills
- multiply by the district’s Wealth Index
- multiply by a district’s net ADM
TARGETED ASSISTANCE(Tier 1 Simulated Calculation)
490th District Local Wealth = $180,000 Per Pupil
1) Sample District Local Wealth = $165,000, per pupil
Sample District Wealth Index = 1.15
Difference in Local Wealth = $15,000 per pupil
$15,000 x 6 mills (.006) = $90 per pupil
$90 x 1.15 = $103.50 per pupil
2) Sample District Local Wealth = $120,000 per pupil
Sample District Wealth Index = 1.60
Difference in Local Wealth = $60,000 per pupil
$60,000 x 6 mills (.006) = $360 per pupil
$360 x 1.6 = $576 per pupil
TARGETED ASSISTANCE
Tier 2
District’s agricultural Property Value *District’s Total Property Value = _____%
- If percentage > 10% = 40% of Tier 1 funding
- If percentage < 10% = percentage x 4 x Tier 1 funding
• Only 39 districts statewide have no agricultural property value

ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED FUNDING
Disadvantaged ADM* = Per Pupil Amount x District Poverty Index x State Share IndexWhere: Per Pupil Amount = $269 (FY14)
= $272 (FY15) District Poverty Index = District Disadvantaged
State Disadvantaged
*Disadvantaged in eSchools not counted
Economically DisadvantagedFunds must be used for:
– Extended day or school year– Reading improvement and intervention– Instructional technology or blended learning– PD in reading instruction for teachers of K-3 students– Dropout prevention– School safety and security measures– Community learning centers– Academic interventions for grades 6-12 students
