206-33 Wyo. Code R. § 33-8

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 33-8 - Allowable Funding

(a) Grant amounts available under this program are for one (1) year only and shall be determined for applicant districts every year utilizing each individual district's average teacher compensation as computed by the education resource block grant model prior to the issuance of preliminary award letters to districts May 1.

  • (i) Preliminary grant awards shall be calculated using the most current spring data collection available from districts at the time of grant calculation immediately prior to May 1. If district data is not available or incomplete, the estimated grant award will be calculated to be zero and so communicated to the district.
  • (ii) Final grant award amounts shall be recalculated and communicated to districts by June 1 using any updated information from the spring data collection submitted by districts. If district data is not available or incomplete, the district will forfeit the grant for the applicable grant year.

(b) Grant amounts to each district operating a comprehensive K-12 summer program will be based upon the larger of the following amounts:

  • (i) For every thirty (30) at-risk students within the district identified under W.S. § 21-13-309(m)(v)(A), multiply one (1) full time equivalent (FTE) teacher position by fifteen percent (15%); or
  • (ii) Fifty percent (50%) of one (1) full time equivalent (FTE) teacher position.

(c) The Department shall modify a district's full-time equivalent (FTE) teacher position calculation to reflect a district's actual summer program offering when that program is made available to only elementary or only secondary students. The modified grant shall be calculated to proportionately reflect the grades offered, based on the district's proxy count, and shall not be less than twenty-five percent (25%) of one (1) full time equivalent (FTE) teacher position.

(d) Intersession intervention and remediation programs utilizing enriched learning strategies and other remedial methods for districts operating on a year-round calendar shall be awarded a grant amount that may not exceed in one calendar year the amount prescribed in Section 8(a) above. Reporting requirements and grant distribution to these districts will be subject to program application guidelines issued by the Department.

(e) Final grant awards may be prorated to comply with budget limitations if needed.
