Code § 38-2905.01","heading":"Supplement to foundation level funding on the basis of the count of at-risk students.","body":"(a)\nIn addition to the grade level and supplemental allocations provided pursuant to §§ 38-2904 and 38-2905, additional allocations shall be provided on the basis of the count of students identified as at-risk.\n\n(b)\nThe additional allocations required by subsection (a) of this section shall be calculated by applying weighting factors, as reflected in this subchapter, to the foundation level.\n\n(c)\nThe weighting factors for at-risk students shall be applied cumulatively in the counts of students who fall into more than one of the formula weighting categories; provided, that for students identified as both at-risk and as participating in an alternative program or as adult learners, only the alternative program weighting shall apply.\n\n(c-1)\nTo ensure alignment between the alternative program and at-risk weighting factors, the alternative program weighting factor should be amended whenever the grades 9-12, at-risk, or at-risk high school over-age supplement weighting factors are amended.\n\n(c-2)\n(1)\nConsistent with the weightings provided in § 38-2905(c), an at-risk concentration supplement shall be provided for a DCPS school or public charter school with an at-risk student population that exceeds 40% of the school's total enrollment and an additional supplement shall be provided for a DCPS school or public charter school with an at-risk student population that exceeds 70% of the school's total enrollment, based on actual audited enrollments for public charter schools and projected enrollments for DCPS schools submitted pursuant to this subchapter.\n(2)\nOnly schools that have at-risk student populations greater than 40% of the school's total population may receive funding from the at-risk \u003e 40% concentration supplement.  The number of students for which a school may receive the per pupil allocation for the at-risk \u003e 40% concentration supplement shall be equal to the number of at-risk students enrolled in the school minus the product, rounded to the nearest whole number, of 40% times that school's total student population.\n(3)\nOnly schools that have at-risk student populations greater than 70% of the school's total population may receive funding from the at-risk \u003e 40% concentration supplement and the at-risk \u003e 70% concentration supplement. The number of students for which a school may receive the per pupil allocation for the at-risk 70% concentration supplement shall be equal to the number of at-risk students enrolled in the school minus the product, rounded to the nearest whole number, of 70% times that school's total student population.\n\n(d)\nBy March 31, 2024, and annually thereafter, every local education agency that is allocated funds pursuant to this section shall provide the Office of the State Superintendent of Education with data related to expenditures of such funds for the previous school year consistent with reporting standards established by the Department of Education pursuant to § 38-191(b)(10).","path":["Title 38.
