Slide 3Financial Resources and Governmental Relations Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Prototypical School Funding Model

Slide 4Financial Resources and Governmental Relations Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction What is Prototypical School? Prototypical school is a fixed theoretical school size that is used for modeling purposes. Replaces the ratio paradigm currently used. As adopted in 2776, it is a scalable model. Funding formula assumptions are based upon a prototypical school and assumed class size. Class size assumptions are different based upon grade and subject.

Slide 5Financial Resources and Governmental Relations Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Prototypical School Size CategoryElementary (K-6) Middle (7-8) High (9-12) Base Enrollment In reality, school configurations vary widely and are not always consistent with the prototype model. Funding is based upon the student grade level rather than a school’s classification. Prototype allocations will be based on district wide grade level enrollment.

Assumed planning time 13% or 45 minutes for elementary, and 17% or 60 minutes for secondary. – Instructional workload of each teacher.
