| Allocation Formula | Costs for a single placement in excess of the applicable threshold amount will be eligible for reimbursement. The threshold amount for 2009-10 for SELPAS that are not considered necessary small SELPAs as defined in Education Code Section 56836.21 is $73,239.08. This is equal to the 2008-09 threshold because the 2009-10 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is zero. The threshold amount of 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 2009-10 fiscal year. If the total reimbursable amount exceeds the $3 million appropriation, all claims will be prorated. |
