The entitlement for the infant program equals the sum of all instructional personnel service units a SELPA allocates to its local educational agencies (LEAs) or LEA(s) of another SELPA, multiplied by the base rate of the type of classroom setting, plus the cost of aide(s) for each type of class. The three classroom settings in which infants are served include: 1) Special Day Class: Severe/Non-Severe; 2) Resource Specialist Program; 3) Designated Instruction and Service. The cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) provided for this fiscal year includes first assuming the suspended 2.31 percent 2020-21 statutory COLA and then applying the 1.70 percent 2021-22 statutory COLA.
