| Allocation Formula | Costs for a single placement in excess of the applicable threshold amount will be eligible for reimbursement. The threshold amount for 2007-08 for SELPAs that are not considered small SELPAS as defined in Education Code Section 56836.21 is $73,239.08. This is equal to the 2006-07 threshold of $70,065.13 increased by a 2007-08 4.53 percent COLA. The threshold amount for necessary small SELPAs is the lesser of $73,239.08 or one percent of the SELPA's subtotal apportionment (sum of the base, COLA, growth, and special disabilities adjustment) for the 2007-08 fiscal year. If the total reimbursable amount exceeds the $3 million appropriation, all claims will be prorated. |
