Calculation

The Fresno County SELPA completes the Proportionate Share Calculation for each Member LEA. This occurs once the SELPA receives the Grant Award Notice for the IDEA funds, typically in the Spring of the fiscal year. 

The Proportionate Share Calculation of IDEA Funding uses the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System ("CALPADS") Codes. CALPADS Codes 100, 200, and 700 are used in the calculation.

To get the average allocation per IDEA eligible child, the formula divides the total of CALPADS Codes 100, 200, and 700 by the SELPA's IDEA 611 Part B Resource 3310 and 3305 amounts. It multiplies this average allocation per IDEA eligible child by the total parentally placed eligible children. 

Example

• A SELPA's CALPADS Codes 200 and/or 700* is 50.
• Its CALPADS Code 100** is 8,000.
• Its IDEA 3310 funding is $15,000,000.
• Therefore, the average allocation per IDEA Eligible Child is $1,863.35 [$15,000,000 divided by 8,050].
• Also, the total proportionate share is $93,167.70 [$1,863.35 multiplied by 50].

*CALPADS Codes 200 and/or 700 identify children who are IDEA-eligible parentally-placed children with disabilities, enrolled in elementary or secondary private schools within the LEA's boundaries, between the ages of 3 and 21, and reported on the prior year EOY 4 count. 

**CALPADS Code 100 identifies children who are IDEA-eligible children with disabilities with an IEP and enrolled in the LEA, between the ages of 3 and 21, reported on the prior year Fall 1 count.

Proportionate Share Assurance

LEA's with a CALPADS Code 200 and/or 700 of 0 will have no proportionate share requirement. Instead, the LEA will need to complete the Private School Proportionate Share Assurances form, and state either of the following:

1. There are no private schools located in the LEA, or
2. There were no parentally-placed children with disabilities attending the private school located in the LEA.

Proportionate Share Budget

LEA's with a proportionate share requirement will need to place the share amount to SACS Resource 3311 and 3306, as appropriate. The Fresno County SELPA will allocate funds to that resource, if proportionate share expenditures are reported on any of the Federal IDEA and IDEA/ARP Expenditure Reports.  

For example, an LEA has a private school calculation for the 2023-24 grant year. The calculation is based on CALPADS data from the 2022-23 fiscal year. The LEA has from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2025 to fully expend these funds.
