3Why Is Enrollment Important?
- What enrollment are we talking about? (Not
CEDARS formerly CSRS) - Enrollment is one of the two pillars of public
school funding in Washington State. - The classification of a student or groups of
students can significantly alter the funding
received by a district. - Audit findings can be significant.
- Enrollment is a high profile area with the public
and the Legislature.

8Vocabulary and Key Concepts

- Headcount.
- Count Dates.
- Resident District.
- Serving District.
- Enrolled Students.
- Enrollment Exclusions.
- Course of Study.
- Foreign Exchange Students.
- What Not to Report.
9 Full-Time Equivalent WAC 392-121-122
- 1.0 FTE is defined as
- 5 hours/day or 25 hours/week grades 412
- 4 hours/day or 20 hours/week grades 13
- 4 hours/day or 20 hours/week full year K
- 0.5 FTE for kindergarten 2 hours/day or 10
hours/week for 180 days
10 Full-Time Equivalent WAC 392-121-122
- Student limit is 1.0 FTE and 1.0 AAFTE.
- Running Start (WAC 392-121-136)
- Skills Center (Covered in the same WAC)
- Kindergarten student limit is 0.5 AAFTE (1/2).
- SBE Carnegie unit waivers DO NOT waive FTE
hours or calculation.
11 Headcount
- Is a count of enrolled students. Hours of course
work or daily attendance are not considered. - Each student is 1 or 0 headcount no partial
numbers for any one count date. - Is used for funding of special education
bilingual. - Drives state budgeting for education by Caseload
Forecast Council so accuracy is critical.
12 Headcount
- October reporting is especially critical.
13 Count Dates WAC 392-121-119
- The 4th school day of September
even if you start school in August
even if you are an institution. - The 1st school day of October through May.
- Running start count dates are the 1st school day
of October through June. - A count day may be determined by an individual
school or grade start date. - Students are counted as of the count date. It is
a snapshot.
14 Resident District
- Is the district a student resides in, with or
without an address (WAC 392-121-106) - Is the district a student attends if the student
resides on a U.S. reservation, national park or
forest, or Indian reservation contiguous to the
school district - Is the district a student is attending under a
choice agreement under RCW 28A.225.225
230
15 Resident District contd
- Choice exists when the releasing district
(where the student lives) retains NO financial
liability for the students education. - RCW 28A.225.240 says that under choice, the
students attendance shall be credited to the
non-resident school district of enrollment for
state apportionment and all other purposes. - Under choice, for apportionment, the resident and
serving district are reported as the same.
16 Serving District
- Is the district actually providing
instruction or services to the student. - Does not have to be the resident district for the
student. - If it is not the resident district, the serving
district should have an interdistrict agreement
with the resident district. - The serving district performs the clerical task
of reporting the students enrollment and
resident and serving district numbers.
17 Enrolled Student WAC 392-121-106
- Is a resident of the district or attending
pursuant to an interdistrict agreement - Has enrolled on or before the count date and
count time - Was under 21 as of August 31
- Actually participated on a school day during the
first 4 school days of the current term, or on a
school day during the current term on or prior to
date being counted, in a course of study - Does not meet exclusions in WAC 392-121-108.
18Enrollment Exclusions WAC 392-121-108
- A student shall not be counted as an enrolled
student if student has met any of the following - Been consecutively absent for gt 20 school days.
- Dropped out or transferred.
- Been expelled or suspended pursuant to WAC
180-40-275 or 260. - Met high school graduation requirements as of the
beginning of the school year (midnight August
31). - Running Start do not count if earned credits
for a high school diploma as of beginning of the
school year. (392-169-020(4))
19Expelled and Long-Term Suspended
20Expelled and Long-Term Suspended
21Course Of Study WAC 392-121-107
- Course of study includes
- School district instruction including special
education. - Alternative learning experience.
- Contractor National Guard instruction.
- Ancillary service.
- Running Start, Work Based Learning, Technical
College, UW Transition School.
22Course of StudyDoes Not Include(So you cannot
count)
- Home-based instruction (Intent to home school).
- Private school instruction.
- Education provided to adults, out of state
residents, all tuition-paying FTE including
students in the country on F-1 visas next
slide. - Students in institutions (reported separately).
- Extracurricular activities.
- College enrollment not earning HS credit.
- GED instruction if it generates state or federal
for adult education.
23Foreign Exchange Students (FES)
- Are treated the same as any other student. The
term is not in RCW or WAC. - The WACs define resident district (and
therefore resides in that is found in WAC
392-121-106) fairly broadly, so the resident
district for a FES is the district he/she resides
in for the time he/she is in Washington State. - All enrollment rules apply equally to FESs.
- For example, FESs must be under 21 as of midnight
Aug 31 and must not have the credits for a
diploma, etc. (See WAC 392-121-106, 107, and
108.) If a FES meets the requirements, you can
count them as you would any other student.
24Foreign Exchange Students (FES)
- J-1 visas are common, the student does not pay
tuition, and therefore, a J-1 visa student can be
counted on the P-223 for state basic education,
special ed, etc. funding. - In contrast, students on an F-1 visa are required
to pay tuition prior to the issuance of the visa.
Therefore, they cannot be counted because
students must be enrolled tuition-free to be
counted for state funding.
25 Do Not Report
- Out-of-state residents.
- Direct funded technical college students.
- UW Transition Program students.
- Tuition students (F-1 visa foreign students.)

programs. - Reported separately
