| Allocation Formula | Costs for a single placement in excess of the applicable threshold amount will be eligible for reimbursement. The threshold amount for 2011-12 for SELPAs that are not considered necessary small SELPAs as defined in California Education Code Section 56836.21 is $73,239.08. This is equal to the 2010-11 threshold because the 2011-12 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is zero. 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, and growth) for the 2011-12 fiscal year. If the total reimbursable amount exceeds the $3 million appropriation, all claims will be prorated. |
