Targeted Assistance

2 Tiers

TARGETED ASSISTANCE

TARGETED ASSISTANCETier 1

1) Calculate state wealth per pupil- 50% Income, plus- 50% 3-year average property wealth

2) Calculate local wealth per pupil- 50% Income, plus- 50% 3-year average property Wealth

3) Divide no.1 by no. 2 = new Wealth Index for each pupil

TARGETED ASSISTANCE(Cont)

4) Arrange all Local Wealth Indexes statewide from lowest to highest

- identify 490th district (threshhold district)

5) For each district with less than the 490th district;

- identify the difference in Local Wealth from 490th district

- multiply the difference by 6 mills

- multiply by the district’s Wealth Index

- multiply by a district’s net ADM

TARGETED ASSISTANCE(Tier 1 Simulated Calculation)

490th District Local Wealth = $180,000 Per Pupil

1) Sample District Local Wealth = $165,000, per pupil

Sample District Wealth Index = 1.15

Difference in Local Wealth = $15,000 per pupil

$15,000 x 6 mills (.006) = $90 per pupil

$90 x 1.15 = $103.50 per pupil

2) Sample District Local Wealth = $120,000 per pupil

Sample District Wealth Index = 1.60

Difference in Local Wealth = $60,000 per pupil

$60,000 x 6 mills (.006) = $360 per pupil

$360 x 1.6 = $576 per pupil

TARGETED ASSISTANCE

Tier 2

District’s agricultural Property Value *District’s Total Property Value = _____%

- If percentage > 10% = 40% of Tier 1 funding

- If percentage < 10% = percentage x 4 x Tier 1 funding

• Only 39 districts statewide have no agricultural property value
