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

strict-wide poverty average OR
(2) the
district-wide grade span poverty averages
for the relevant

attendance areas that feed into that school.
Because high school and middle school students are less likely to participate in

School is selected Title I neglected and/or delinquent site

School not served due to the district allocation process or not eligible for funding

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.

LEA must provide a brief description of allocation process.
NOTE:
Poverty rate is defined by the percent of students on

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.
