Instructions and Requirements for Completion
1.
?
Select on one of the following: District -wide Ranking, District-wide Ranking w/Split Funding, or District-wide Ranking with Grade Span Grouping.
Section 1113(a)(3)(A) requires that an LEA annually rank, without regards to grade spans,
all
of its school attendance areas according to their
percent
of poverty from highest to lowest eligibility. This is based on the percentage (not the number) of low-income children counted in an
eligible school attendance area or school. Once school attendance areas have been ranked by percent of poverty, the LEA
must
first serve, in rank order of poverty,
areas that exceed 75 percent poverty
, including any middle schools or high schools.
If an LEA has no school
attendance areas
above 75
percent poverty, the LEA
may
rank district-wide or by grade span groupings.
(Note: the online PSES will be designed to reflect the
true %ages
and will only accept selection codes
“A”
or
“E”
beginning with 75.01 and up. See Selection Codes Explanations. Districts will be allowed to utilize any of the selection codes below that %age, as appropriate.)
An LEA has the option to:
(1) continue with the district-wide ranking, however, they must continue to use the same
district-wide poverty average
.
OR
(2) rank remaining areas by
grade span groupings
and choose to either (1) the
district-wide poverty average OR
(2) the
district-wide grade span poverty averages
for the relevant
grade span
grouping.

Additional Documentation Required:
(1)
LEA must include description of how and what resources will be used to meet the unique needs of economically
disadvantaged students in schools with grade spans that LEA elects not to serve under Title I.
(2)
Section 1113(b)(1)(D)(ii) allows an LEA to skip eligible attendance areas/schools with a higher %age of poverty
if
the area or school is
receiving supplemental funds from other State or Local sources that are used according to the requirements of section 1114 or 1115. (See
description for Sections 1114 and 1115 below.) LEA must include description; identify program type, amount of funding and source of
funding. Total funding must be equal to or greater than the amount of Title I funds the school would received if served.
(3)
LEA must include name(s) and poverty rate(s) of feeder pattern schools. This concept allows the LEA to project the
number of low-income children in a middle school or high school based on the average poverty rate of the elementary school
attendance areas that feed into that school. Because high school and middle school students are less likely to participate in
free and reduced-price lunch programs than are elementary school students, an LEA is given the flexibility when counting
children from low-income families in middle and high schools.
(4)
Section 1113(b)(1)(C) allows an LEA to designate and serve an attendance area or school that is not eligible under this
section, but was eligible and was served in the preceding fiscal year, for 1 additional fiscal year.
(5)
LEA must provide a brief description of allocation process.
NOTE:
Poverty rate is defined by the percent of students on
Free or Reduced Price Lunch (FRPL)

Districts utilizing District-wide ranking with split-funding must use Section (16) to outline funding data for providing services at different PPA amounts at same school. (i.e., Jay Elementary School, #0622, K-8, Total
Students Enrolled 220; from data provided in (3) – (12) for each school, indicate under (16) Served area, the following: Grades within GS (Item 6) being served (i.e., K-5, 6-8); Enrolled students in grades being served (K-5);
# of students on FRPL in K-5 grades; calculate % (K-5 FRPL/K-5 enrolled); Selection code based on K-5 data; PPA for K-5 Grade Span; Total Grade Span Allocation = GSPPA x # of students on FRPL in K-5 grades.
