• DISADVANTAGED PUPIL IMPACT AID
  • Disadvantaged Pupil Impact Aid is calculated based on the number and concentration of economically disadvantaged students enrolled at each school and district. The higher the concentration of disadvantagement, the higher the per-pupil amount. Implementation of the school funding formula will include detailed calculations of this funding stream for each school or district.
• STUDENT WELLNESS AND SUCCESS FUNDS
  • Student Wellness and Success Funds were distributed to schools on a per-pupil basis, with per-pupil funding scaled based on federal census poverty data. Every school district, community school and joint vocational school district received a minimum of $25,000 in FY20 and $36,000 in FY21. This funding was paid directly to each entity based on where students are educated, without any transfers or deductions from students’ resident districts. Actual payment amounts were provided through the state foundation payment reports found here.
• BASE COST STUDENT WELLNESS AND SUCCESS COMPONENT
  • The base cost and restricted component for student wellness and success initiatives is calculated based on the enrolled student population at each school and district. Funding for this element of the base cost is funded at a ratio of one Student Wellness and Success staff position for every 250 students, with traditional public schools guaranteed a minimum of five positions. While the funding is computed on an FTE basis, the funds are not exclusively required to support staff but must be restricted to the following allowable uses:
    • Mental health services, including telehealth services;
    • Culturally appropriate, evidence-based or evidence-informed prevention education, including youth-led programming and social and emotional learning curricula to promote mental health and prevent substance use and suicide;
    • Services for homeless youth;
    • Services for child welfare-involved youth;
    • Community liaisons or programs that connect students to community resources, including City Connects, Communities in Schools and other similar programs;
    • Physical health care services, including telehealth services;
    • Family engagement and support services;
    • Student services provided prior to or after the regularly scheduled school day or at any time school is not in session, including mentoring programs.
