Funding for each SELPA is based on five data components: the sum of cumulative enrollment for foster youth reported through California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System; the average daily population at STRTP provided by the Department of Social Services; and pupil count data in community care, intermediate care, and skilled nursing facilities provided by the Department of Developmental Services as of April 1, 2024. Funding for each SELPA is calculated as follows: the sum of cumulative enrollment for foster youth multiplied by the foster youth rate; average daily population at STRTP multiplied by the STRTP rate; pupil counts for community care multiplied by the community care rate; pupil counts for intermediate care multiplied by the intermediate care rate; and pupil counts for skilled nursing multiplied by the skilled nursing rate. Funding rates for each data component is shown on the Funding Rates and Information, Fiscal Year 2023-24 web page. |
