Charter School Reform Applying the Special Education Formula to all Charter Schools: • School Districts receive funding through a 4 tiered formula with funding increasing as the student’s need for service increases • Charters receive funding based on the District’s 363 which uses an outdated assumption that all school districts have a special education population of 16% regardless of the student’s needs outlined in their Individualized Education Plan (IEP). • Transition to the special education formula for charters will better align funding with the actual costs of providing services to special education students. • Calculation will use actual expenditures instead of budgeted expenditures. • Calculation will add an exclusion for charter school tuition and will exclude charter school ADM Estimated statewide savings of $147 million/year (based on 2017 -2018 AFR Data)– Wilkinsburg Borough School District would save an estimated $744, 000/year. 15

(based on 2017 -2018 AFR Data) – Wilkinsburg Borough School District would save an estimated $753, 000/year 16
