Below are information about the 2005-06 NCLB Title II, Part A; Title II, Part D; Title IV, Part A; and Title V, Part A allocations and the 2005-06 allocations for New York State school districts and charter schools. The allocations are determined by the State Education Department based on requirements set forth in the NCLB legislation.
|
Title II, Part A |
|
| Amount Available for Allocation in 2005-06: |
$216,575,554 |
The 2005-06 amount is approximately one percent less than we received in 2004-05.
How the Title II, Part A local allocations are calculated by SED:
A portion of the State’s allocation must be reserved for a hold harmless requirement in the legislation, and the remainder is distributed based on enrollment and poverty factors.
The hold harmless requirement provides an LEA with a base Title II, Part A allocation that is equal to what it received in allocations in 2001-02 for the former federal Eisenhower Professional Development and Class Size Reduction programs. (Title II, Part A combined the Eisenhower Professional Development and Class Size Reduction programs into one program.)
The amount remaining after meeting the hold harmless requirement is broken up into three parts – 20 percent for student enrollment, 40 percent for poverty and 40 percent for concentrated poverty.
An LEA’s portion of the enrollment part is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s total student enrollment (public and nonpublic). For example, a school district that has five percent of the State’s total student enrollment in its public and nonpublic schools will receive five percent of the enrollment part of the Title II, Part A State allocation.
An LEA’s portion of the poverty part is based on its share of the State total of children ages 5-17 who are living in poverty. (Poverty data is from the updated 2000 census and is provided to us by the U.S. Department of Education.)
An LEA qualifies for receiving funds from the concentrated poverty component by having a percentage of children in poverty that exceeds the Statewide average of 18.46%. Each of the qualifying LEAs receives a portion of the component based on its share of children in poverty within the qualifying group of LEAs.
Each LEA’s portions of the three parts are summed up.
An LEA’s Title II, Part A allocation is the sum of its hold harmless amount and its portion of the remainder.
|
Title II, Part D |
|
|
Amount Available for Allocation in 2005-06: |
$21,472,383 |
The 2005-06 amount is approximately 31 percent less than we received in 2004-05.
How the Title II, Part D local allocations are calculated by SED:
An LEA’s allocation is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s 2005-06 Title I, Part A allocation. For example, a school district that received five percent of the State’s Title I, Part A allocation will receive five percent of the State’s Title II, Part D allocation.
|
Title IV, Part A |
|
|
Amount Available for Allocation in 2005-06: |
$24,891,326 |
The 2005-06 amount is less than one-half of a percent lower than the 2004-05 amount.
How local allocations are calculated by SED:
The State’s allocation is separated into two components: 2004-05 Title I, Part A and total enrollment. The first component gets 60 percent of the State’s allocation and the attendance component gets 40 percent of the State’s allocation.
An LEA’s portion of the Title I, Part A component is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s 2004-05 Title I, Part A allocation.
An LEA’s portion of the attendance component is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s total student enrollment (public and nonpublic).
An LEA’s Title IV, Part A allocation is the sum of its portions of the two components.
|
Title V, Part A |
|
|
Amount Available for Allocation in 2005-06: |
$9,996,004 |
The 2005-06 amount is approximately 33 percent less than we received in 2004-05.
How local allocations are calculated by SED:
The State’s allocation is separated into four components: poverty, concentrated poverty, enrollment and geographical sparsity. The first two components each get 35 percent of the State allocation, and the latter two components each get 15 percent of the State allocation.
An LEA’s portion of the poverty component is based on the LEA’s share of the State total of children ages 5-17 who are living in poverty. (Poverty data is from the updated 2000 census and is provided to us by the U.S. Department of Education.)
An LEA qualifies for receiving funds from the concentrated poverty component by having a percentage of children in poverty that exceeds the Statewide average of 18.46%. Each of the qualifying LEAs receives a portion of the component based on its share of children in poverty within the qualifying group of LEAs.
An LEA’s portion of the enrollment component is based on the LEA’s share of the State’s total student enrollment (public and nonpublic).
An LEA qualifies for receiving funds from the sparsity component by having less than 23 students per square mile (the federal definition of sparsity). Each of the qualifying LEAs receives a portion of the component based on its share of students within the qualifying districts.
An LEA’s Title V, Part A allocation is the sum of its portions of the four components.
