DOT LEA Guidance for Timely Transportation Services SY20-21

LEA Considerations/Decisions for SY20-21 As we shift towards preparation for SY20-21, these are key preparation items that LEAs will need to consider and decide. They will be critical in preparing transportation services for eligible students that will be receiving any in-person education for the 20-21 school year. Student Level - Student assignments: How will students be assigned to a particular schedule? - i.e. which students will be in school on which days - Prioritize service preparations and data submissions for students with disabilities. - i.e. submit the required school calendars and transportation requests forms Notes - If the considerations and decisions are delayed into the transportation preparation time, LEAs should consider and prepare to utilize the parent or LEA reimbursement options - If your LEA is not offering in-person services for students with disabilities, no action is required 6/25/2020 11

DC School Report Card: School Finance Data Update June 25, 2020

Executive Summary • For the first time, DC is publishing actual school-level expenditures for all schools, including the amount of central office expenditures allocated to each school • This information is available on the DC School Report Card: www.DCSchoolReportCard.org • The DC average per-pupil expenditure (PPX) is $20,675. This is the average of all public schools in the District. ▪ The State/Local share is $18,683, which is 90% of the total ▪ The Federal share is $1,992, which is 10% of the total • Per-pupil expenditures reflect the values of DC’s school funding formula: Expenditures are higher in schools enrolling more at-risk students and students with disabilities • Larger schools tend to have lower total per-pupil expenditures than small schools 15

Overview of School Finance Data • On June 26, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) will add school finance data to each school and local education agency (LEA) profile page. • Reporting this school finance data meets a new requirement under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). • This is the first time that data about actual school spending at the school level is available to the public. • This new data will give school leaders, families, policymakers, and community members access to new information about DCPS and public charter schools that they can use to engage with their school communities. 16

School Finance Data on Report Card School Finance Metrics • Per-Pupil Expenditures ▪ By Entity: School, LEA, DC ▪ By Funding Source: State/Local and Federal ▪ By type and source: School-level expenditures (State/local and Federal), school-share of centralized expenditures (State/local and Federal) • Total Expenditures = Total School expenditures + Total Excluded Expenditures • Student enrollment - enrollment audit count Details in DC School Report Card Technical Guide Release Materials : Public Data File, School Finance Brochure, and Centralized Expenditure Methodology document
