Example of Ranking Schools & Allocating Funds in an LEA Serving Schools Below 35% Poverty (125% Rule Applies)

Example 1 Note: Totals may not add due to rounding. 11-May-95
Per-Pupil 125% Calculation: To determine the amount per child, divide the LEA's allocation ($2,366,381) by its total number of children from low-income families (2,618) to arrive at an amount per poverty child ($903.89). Multiply this amount by 1.25 to determine the minimum per-child payment ($1,12986) for each attendance area (see table below).
