2010 September 30 th Unit Count Appoquinimink School District October 12, 2010 Presentation

State funding for staff is allocated to school districts and charter schools based on Title 14, Chapter 17 of the Delaware Code. “Funding units” are allocated based on the enrollment of students in special education, “regular” education, and secondary vocational courses on the last school day in September of each year. The Process

Districts and charters are audited within the school year to ensure compliance with State regulations and law. Schools must show that they have, and follow, a process for identifying “no shows” and for accurately reporting enrollment and special education/vocational information. The Process
