The WADA for Dist 1 is 5555.815 and Dist. 2 is 4794.076.

Distrct 1 has a larger WADA but the Refined ADA for Decline was lower. This could result from the percentage of ECD students in the district.

Week 3 Part 4


My School District is a small 3A school district, but we are financially sound. We have a refined ADA of 2890.00 and a WADA of 3747.096.We are not a property poor district, but we are a small district and we do not have a lot of fluff positions in this district.The M&O Compressed Rate is 8,175,978.The Regular Program Allotment is 14,719,398.The local DPV is 793,938,470.


My school district is small, but they are frugal because they watch what they spend and try very hard to ensure we are spending for necessity. This has resulted in my school district to be one that is not is bad shape due to the financial market. We receive the most money from State Program Revenues.This State Revenue is higher than the Local and Intermediate Sources.We receive some Federal Funding but the majority of the funds that we receive comes from State Programs and Local and Intermediate Sources.The other part of the revenue that we receive comes from local property tax revenue.


Week 3 Part 5

District 1 has more Compensatory Education money than District 1 -- 3,835,006 and Dist 2 -- 633,369. This is a large amount of difference however; District 2 has a significantly higher property value rate than District 1 which makes me think that District 2 would have more money available to make payments on existing debt.

Week 3 Part 6

Distict 1 has more Compensatory Education money than Dstrict 1 -- 3,835,006 and Dist 2 -- 633,369. This is a large amount of difference. There is a large impact on student learning from Compensatory Education because some districts are faced with a lower amount of money from taxes, but are able to see a significant difference from compensatory education because they may be able to qualify for additional money due to different organizations that the school may have.This helps fund different programs that the campus needs and helps give schools the opportunity to have the funds that other schools have, especially when they service students who are economically disadvantaged.
