| Allocation Formula |
Calculation is based on a per pupil amount by dividing the appropriated budget by the total statewide number of pupils with exceptional needs, using the greater of Fall 1 Census special education data for the 2019-20 or 2020-21 fiscal years. An apportionment is calculated for each SELPA by multiplying the per pupil amount by the total number of pupils with exceptional needs for the member local educational agency. Calculation is performed based on a comparison of the 2019-20 and 2020-21 fiscal years SELPA level pupil counts.
