Norm Day Settle-Up (all schools) Norm Day enrollment count is used as the basis of allocating school resources Norm Day enrollment is reviewed by Budget Services to resolve any errors in data reporting Impact to schools’ number of staff and other resources: no change, increase, or decrease Nurses, psychologists, and library media teachers are not adjusted Changes in the number of certificated staff and assignments is coordinated with HR Division 13
Per Pupil Schools At budget development, estimated revenues and budgeted expenditures are calculated based on current information Factors that impact estimated revenue and budgeted expenditures: • LCFF rates per ADA per grade span • Total districtwide ADA and each individual school’s ADA • Unduplicated student count • E-CAST/Norm Day enrollment count • Non-school site costs • Number of schools participating 14
Revenues for Affiliated Charter Schools are calculated separately from the non-charter schools – LCFF is calculated separately Details of the calculations are sent to school principals Revenues and expenditures are recalculated at norm day (Norm Day Settle-up) Participating schools with calculated revenue exceeding budgeted expenditures (underfunded schools) receive an additional allocation in Program 10397 PER PUPIL SCHOOLS (Pilot Schools and Network Partner Schools) 15
Per Pupil Schools At Budget Development 2016 -17 P-2 ADA At Norm Day Settle-Up 2017 -18 P-2 ADA ÷ 2016 -17 Norm Day Enrollment ÷ 2017 -18 Norm Day Enrollment = 2016 -17 Ratio of P-2 ADA to Norm Day Enrollment (%) = 2017 -18 Ratio of P-2 ADA to Norm Day Enrollment (%) × 2018 -19 E-CAST Enrollment × 2018 -19 Norm Day Enrollment = Estimated 2018 -19 P-2 ADA = Revised Estimated 2018 -19 P-2 ADA × LCFF Rates Per ADA Per Grade Span = PRELIMINARY ESTIMATED REVENUE = FINAL REVENUE 16
