 Have 100 percent of core subject classes been taught by highly

classes taught by teachers who did not meet the highly qualified requirement,
are not eligible to hire “additional” paraeducators. (Section 2141)

 Community Eligibility Provision vs. Free and Reduced Price Meals
 Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) schools use “direct certification”
data, such as data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to
determine the federal cash reimbursement for meals provided by USDA.
 OSPI Bulletin scheduled for September release provides more details.
 Free or Reduced Price Meals Low-Income Student Count: This is for
schools using “household applications” to identify students eligible for
free and reduced price meals.
 Note: For purposes of calculating the percent of low -income students in
a school, the school may use either CEP or Free and Reduced Price
Meals Low-Income Student Count; never both.

 Ranking Schools
 75%+: School meets or exceeds 75% poverty and must be served.
 35%+: School meets or exceeds 35% poverty. If the district average
as a whole is more than 35%, schools with 35% or more are eligible
for service.
 District Average+: School meets or exceeds the average poverty
percentage for the district as a whole . After 75% buildings are
served, the district may choose district average or grade span for
remaining buildings.
 Grade Span: Schools are selected based on grade span grouping,
e.g., K-5, 6-8, 9-12, etc. Grade span grouping allows districts to
determine a poverty average per grade span. Those buildings
meeting or exceeding the average for the grade span are eligible for
service. After 75% buildings are served, the district may choose
district average or grade span for remaining buildings.

 Ranking Schools

grade span to another in order to obtain eligibility status . For
example, the 40% poverty rate for grades K -5 could be used for the
middle grades.
 Waiver: Indicates an otherwise ineligible building was served the
prior year and may be served one additional year. Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Sec. 1113 (b)(1)(C)
 Less than 1000 students: Total district enrollment is less than 1000
students - use head count.
 Ten percent (10%) reservation of building allocation for professional
development ONLY for schools in improvement.
