Assignment 3.2<\/p>\n
*There are 2 case problems, one for Florida students, one for Non-Florida students. The student will only complete one of these problems. The problem should be completed using\u00a0MS Excel, or a table in\u00a0MS Word*<\/p>\n
FTE Case Problem (10 points – Non-Florida Students)<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the State of XXX, funding of public education is handled through a Foundation program. The state funds a student at a weighted FTE value of $3,150. Based on a local school district\u2019s ability to raise property tax revenues through the \u201cFair Effort\u201d, the state provides the difference between the District\u2019s ability to raise funds and the state value of the students.<\/p>\n
Students are counted two times throughout the school year, once in the fall (October) and once in the winter (February). Each student is funded for half their value in each count. This results in full funding for the student if included in both counts. If the student is counted in October and not in February, the local district is funded for half the value of the student.<\/p>\n
In the State of XXX, students are funded in one or more programs, as set by the State Legislature. The Legislature annually sets the Program weights. Students can be funded in more than one program, although the total fractions for each of a student\u2019s program cannot exceed 1.0.<\/p>\n
For students in special programs, the State of XXX funds students in the following categories:<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If t \u00a0The student is classified in more than one of these categories, both are counted. For example, if the student is both LD & requires SL services, the student would be .2 in 201 \u2013 SL, .4 in 202 \u2013 Mildly Disabled, and .4 in the basic program (see below). This insures some funding for the special programs.<\/p>\n
\u00a0**\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0If \u00a0If the student is classified as ELL and receives services in either Pgm 201 or 202, the special education programs replace the segments in ELL. For example, for an ELL student who also has a Learning Disability, the student would be funded as .4 in 202 \u2013 Mildly Disabled, .4 in 150 \u2013 ELL, and .2 in the basic program.<\/p>\n
The intent of the program weights is to provide additional funding from state sources to account for the excess cost of providing instructional programs for these students.<\/p>\n
In addition to the special program weights, the following basic student programs\/weights are applied to all students. Please note that a student cannot exceed 1.0 in total program categories. For example, a student receiving SL Therapy would be .2 in program 201 and the remainder of the funding (.8) in the base program (i.e. kindergarten \u2013 see below).<\/p>\n

Happy Trails Elementary School recently opened in your school district to serve students in grades Kindergarten through fifth.\u00a0\u00a0The students attend from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Each student receives a daily 30 minute lunch period, as well as 30 minutes per week of music, media, P.E., computer, and art. The school\u2019s enrollment is as follows:<\/p>\n

The school draws some of its population from a section of the county in which many of the residents do not use English as their primary language at home.\u00a0\u00a0To accommodate the diverse needs of the children from this population, ALL the regular education teachers at Happy Trails have completed the required in-service training to be able to provide English Language Learners (ELL) support.\u00a0\u00a0The school has two teachers hired to provide intensive ELL instruction.\u00a0\u00a0The ELL population is as follows:<\/p>\n

* ELL is often called Limited English Proficient (LEP) or English Speakers of (Other) Languages (ESL\/ESOL). These terms are used interchangeably within the professional literature.<\/p>\n
The school has a K-5 ESE population of 103 students. Many of these students are mildly disabled (Learning Disabled) or Speech\/Language Impaired and are served in the regular classroom, with some \u201c pullout\u201d for direct instruction.\u00a0\u00a0Thirteen (13) of the students are Moderately Disabled and are enrolled in a self-contained special education program for all of their academic services. They do attend the regular PE, Art, Music, and computers with regular education students. The 55 Speech\/Language students are seen by the SLP for an average of 60 minutes per week.\u00a0None of the ESE students are ELL students, therefore the total ESE count is 103 and the LEP count is 76.<\/p>\n
