Apportionment Badge #1: Basic Introduction and Follow the Data-Apportionment Badge #1

Apportionment Badge #1 - PowerPoint

Pdf Summary

This document introduces Washington OSPI’s monthly Apportionment Report, which serves as a revenue statement showing state funds distributed to school districts, along with supplementary reports that supply the data behind those payments. It explains where to access reports on the OSPI apportionment website by selecting fiscal year, report type (Apportionment), and the district organization code.<br /><br />Key reports referenced include the main apportionment reports (e.g., 1197 and multiple 1191 series reports), plus supporting enrollment and program reports such as 1251 (FTE), 1251H (headcount), 1735T (special education), and F780 (levy authority). Different 1191 variants display or use enrollment for specific purposes: basic education staffing generation (1191ED), program allocations like LAP/TBIP/HiCap (1191SN), staff compliance (1159), special education funding (1191SE), and non-high billing/levy transfers (F-483).<br /><br />A central theme is that enrollment drives funding for most state programs. Districts report monthly enrollment to OSPI based on specific count days (4th school day in September; 1st school day October–June). Payments from September–December are based on budgeted enrollment (F-203). Beginning in January, payments use actual year-to-date average enrollment, which updates monthly.<br /><br />The training distinguishes headcount (used for Special Education and TBIP) from FTE (used for Basic Education, ALE, Open Doors, Running Start, CTE/Skills Center, LAP, HiCap, and others). It outlines FTE calculation basics for classroom instruction using weekly scheduled minutes divided by 1,665, and provides examples showing how bell schedules affect maximum claimable FTE.<br /><br />It also explains program-specific averaging rules (e.g., SPED and TBIP funded on a 9‑month average, October–June) and demonstrates how to reconcile basic education enrollment by subtracting ALE (and sometimes CTE/Skills Center) from totals using multiple reports.
