10. 10 Other Identified Student Categories

11. SCENARIOS WHERE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS: CEP and non-CEP schools (Q18 in guidance) All CEP schools (Q19 in guidance) Grouped schools for CEP eligibility and reimbursement purposes (Q21 in guidance) 11 Within-district Allocations

12. APPROACHES FOR CEP AND NON-CEP SCHOOLS (Q18) Using Multiplier for CEP schools – For CEP schools multiply the number of students identified by direct certification in a school by the 1.6 multiplier and divide by the enrollment in the school – For non-CEP schools use the direct certification plus household application count 12 Within-district Allocations EnrollmentCEP Identified studentsNSLP CountPercent Economically Disadvantaged 600350560 (350x1.6)93% (560/600)

13. APPROACHES FOR CEP AND NON-CEP SCHOOLS (Q18) Direct Certification: Rank all schools (CEP and non-CEP) solely on the basis of the percentage of students directly certified through SNAP (or another direct certification measure available annually for all schools). 13 Within-district Allocations EnrollmentDirect Certification (e.g. SNAP) Percent Economically Disadvantaged 75050067% (500/750)

14. ALL CEP SCHOOLS (Q19) An LEA may have all CEP schools If so, the LEA may rank its schools by the percentage of directly certified students in each school, even though the multiplier is used to determine the USDA reimbursement amount 14 Within-district Allocations

15. GROUPED SCHOOLS FOR CEP (Q21) An LEA may group schools to determine CEP eligibility and reimbursement An LEA with an enrollment of at least 1,000 students must rank schools individually to determine Title I eligibility and allocations 15 Within-district Allocations

16. CIRCUMSTANCE THAT MAY OCCUR: Multiple schools with 100 percent poverty rate. (Q20 in guidance) More schools above school district-established cutoff for serving. (Q22 in guidance) Timing of data for CEP and non-CEP schools. (Q24 in guidance) 16 Within-district Allocations

17. MULTIPLE SCHOOLS AT 100 PERCENT POVERTY (Q20) Application of 1.6 multiplier may result in more than one school with a 100 percent poverty rate Among those schools an LEA may allocate a greater per-pupil amount to the school with a higher direct certification percentage 17 Within-district Allocations

18. CEP SCHOOLS ABOVE SCHOOL DISTRICT CUTOFF (Q22) Application of 1.6 multiplier may result in more schools above LEA- established cutoff for allocating Title I funds LEA options include: – Raising cutoff. – Using another permitted poverty measure or composite of permitted measures 18 Within-district Allocations

19. TIMING OF CEP AND NON-CEP DATA (Q24) LEA may collect household applications from non-CEP schools at a different time than it identifies students in CEP schools (April 1) LEA options include: – Use data from the same school year – Access direct certification data for non-CEP school on April 1 to use with household applications – For Title I only, access direct certification data for CEP schools at the same time as accessing this information and collecting household applications for non-CEP schools 19 Within-district Allocations
