Direct Certification:Its Impact on CEP, Title I and

Budgets


Objectives

• Define Directly Certified Students• Recognize the data used to determine poverty levels of

individual schools• Determine how this data may affect district funding and

educational programs


Free and Reduced Data Usage

How is this data Used?• Meal Eligibility• Grant Funding• Title I Allocation• E‐Rate Funding• SFSP Area Eligibility for Sites• AP/SAT Testing Fees• CCRPI Economically Disadvantage (ED) Status


Data Origination-The Beginning

GaDOE SNP – MOU w/DHHS • File of children ages 3‐21 by counties end of June

• GaDOE Data Collections correlates with GTID/name• Produces matched and unmatched list per district• GaSNP – produces city system list

• Local SNP validate lists to current SY18 students• From matched list• From unmatched list• Ensuring current enrollment


Directly Certified StudentsIncludes: Categorically Eligible Free Students without an Application 1. Validated SNAP and TANF Students2. Extended Eligibles to SNAP and TANF Households3. Homeless4. Migrant5. Foster6. Runaways7. Headstart8. Evenstart


Directly CertifiedIDENTIFIED STUDENTS:

• SNAP or TANF students – found on Statewide Lookup

• Extended Eligibles (students “attached” to SNAP and TANF households)

• Matched to Official Lists:Homeless RunawaysMigrant HeadstartFoster w/o App. Evenstart


F/R Data Versus Provision Programs

Can be achieved one of three ways 1. An individual school2. A group of schools3. District wide for the LEA

NOTE:Not all schools have to meet the 40% threshold.

Graduation Rate

Are students achieving at the level necessary to be prepared for the next grade, college, or career?

Are all students and all student subgroups making improvements in achievement rates?

Are students participating in activities preparing them for and demonstrating readiness for the next level, college, or career?

Are students graduating from high school with a regular diploma in four or five years?

How much growth are students demonstrating relative to academically‐similar students?

Rate

Based on new CCRPI improvement targets, which are represented by improvement flags School‐ and district‐level targets based on 3% of the gap between baseline achievement rates (2017) and 100%

For each achievement improvement target, 1 point is earned when the target is met (green flag), 0.5 points are earned when progress is made but the target is not met (yellow flag), and 0 points are earned when performance does not improve (red flag).ED, EL, and SWD subgroups can earn 1.5 points when a 6% improvement target is met.Sets an expectation of improvement or maintenance of high achievement for all students; provides an opportunity for schools to demonstrate improvements in performance; and provides better alignment between CCRPI and improvement flags

Title I and Accountability

How does CEP (data) affect Title I accountability?

•To meet some reporting and accountability requirements, an SEA or LEA must have data on individual economically disadvantaged students.



• LEA must hold schools accountable for the achievement of this subgroup, whether under section 1115 of the ESEA as amended by ESSA

• For most LEAs, NSLP data, including CEP data, may be the best source to identify individual economically disadvantaged students.



• SEA may wish its LEAs to use the most recently available direct certification data for other purposes, such as Title I.

• One such Title I purpose is the disaggregation of assessment data by the economically disadvantaged subgroup for reporting and accountability.



• The economically disadvantaged (ED) subgroup would be the same as the “all students” group

• All students in the school would then be eligible for any services for which eligibility is based on poverty.

• In Georgia, ALL students attending a CEP school are flagged “ED”.

CEP/Title I

• CEP – ISP (Identified Student Participation) Determination Worksheet ‐ Part 2

• Proportionality Scale ‐ provides annual DC numbers for Title I.• Annual numbers used for allocation funding ‐ budgeting• Information available on our website at: http://snp.wpgadoe.org/units/rtau/community‐ eligibility‐provision/

• Local Libraries – Based on public school district discount


CEP and Other Program Facts

• CEP does not decrease or increase Title I district funding.

• Direct Certification percentages or ISP per school can affect Title I school’s rankings, however.


CEP and Other Program Facts• School poverty rankings affect Title I school allocations.

School Nutrition Leaders and Title I Directors, must collaborate

• E‐rate now uses Free Claiming Percentages for calculating funding
