Section 392-140-942. Weighted average class size—High poverty schools.

A K-3 high poverty weighted average class size will be calculated by first multiplying the high poverty enrollment in each of the grades K, 1, 2, or 3 by the demonstrated class size for each respective grade as defined in WAC 392-140-937. The result of those four separate calculations by grade will be summed, and the total will be divided by total K-3 high poverty enrollment as described in WAC 392-140-923, which will result in K-3 high poverty weighted average class size.

A K-3 high poverty max funded class size enhancement will be calculated first by taking the high poverty enrollment in each of grades K, 1, 2, or 3 by the class sizes provided in the Omnibus Appropriations Act. The result of those four separate calculations by grade will be summed, and that total will be divided by the total K-3 high poverty enrollment as described in WAC 392-140-923, which will result in the K-3 high poverty max funded class size enhancement for a specific district.

Districts will generate apportionment funding based on the greater of the K-3 high poverty weighted average class size or the K-3 high poverty max funded class size enhancement. For the months of September through December, districts will generate K-3 high poverty apportionment funding based on the class size input into their F-203 revenue estimate. Beginning in January the results of the most recent compliance calculation will be utilized for apportionment purposes through the end of the school year.
