Dear Select County Superintendents of Schools, Auditors, and Treasurers:
NOTICE OF THE APPORTIONMENT FOR THE
FEDERAL ADVANCED PLACEMENT TEST FEE PROGRAM
FISCAL YEAR 2006-07
This apportionment, in the amount of $2,638,046, is made from federal funds in support of the federal Advanced Placement Test Fee Program. The funds are apportioned to local educational agencies (LEAs) in reimbursement of student test fees. The payment to each LEA is based on the number of eligible, low-income high school students taking advanced placement examinations. The state provides funding for an identical program that is established in the California Education Code, commencing with Section 52240.
Direct-funded charter schools must apply individually for this program. The amount for direct-funded charter schools is identified separate from the district or county amount. All other charter schools must apply through their authorizing agency and the associated funding is included in the district or county amount.
The United States Department of Education award number is S330B060005. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance subprogram number is 84.330. The funding is appropriated in Item 6110-240-0890 of the Budget Act of 2005 (Chapter 38, Statutes of 2005). The California sub-allocation (pass-through) number is Program Cost Account 14831.
In an effort to streamline the state apportionment process, we will continue to post the schedules of apportionment on the California Department of Education (CDE) Web site but eliminate them from our mailings. To view the schedule for this apportionment showing, by county and district, the payment to each LEA generated by individual schools, please visit the CDE Categorical Programs Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca.
Warrants will be mailed to each county treasurer approximately four weeks from the date of this Notice. For standardized account code structure coding, use Resource Code 0000, Unrestricted, and Revenue Object Code 8290, All Other State Revenue. County superintendents of schools are required to inform LEAs immediately of this apportionment.
If you have any questions regarding the program or the apportioned amounts, please contact Sallie L. Wilson, Program Consultant, Intersegmental Relations Unit, at
