[Busmgrs] 2011-12 High Cost Disability Actuals

[ELLIOTT Michael S.]

Dear Business Managers,

The 2011-12 High Cost Disability Grant reconciliation is available here: http://www.ode.state.or.us/services/ssf/misc/2011-12-hcd-actuals-5-3-13-2043hrs.pdf.

The High cost Disability Grant is first paid out based on estimated expenses submitted by the districts. Then districts provide actual expenditures on a per student basis. We take the actual expenditures and total by district to determine how much each district should have received as their share of the High Cost Disability Grant. The actual expenditures are compared to the estimated payment and if a district had fewer actual expenditures, then the district's May payment is reduced. Conversely, if a district had more actual expenditures, then the district's May payment is increased.

For 2011-12 the estimated percentage of eligible expenditures a district would be reimbursed was 53.56%. However, the actual percentage of eligible expenditures a district will be reimbursed is at 42.32%. Thus, many districts will see a reduction because of the significant reduction of the percentage.

The amount in the far right column of the above spreadsheet will be reported as part of the May payment.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Michael
