FINAL, no later than SEPTEMBER 15 – prior year actual from July 1- June 30 Regional Program operators MUST report deficits or surpluses to the Finance Committee, Steering Committee, and Board of Directors as soon as evident . This report shall include justification for the deficit or surplus. Any modifications to the approved budget shall be reviewed by the Finance and Steering Committees, and presented to the Board of Directors for final approval. After the close of each fiscal year, Regional Program surpluses or deficits may be adjusted to zero ($0) by the SELPA through the following fiscal year’s Annual AB 602 Apportionment cycle. Adjustments shall be made via the same ADA methodology in which the original revenue was generated through the “off the top” model; or may be used to reduce the need for increases in the fee for services rates in the following fiscal year. If an LEA is no longer the program operator, revenue shall be transferred to the new program operator. If the program is discontinued, existing revenue may be used to fund other existing, or new, Regional Programs as recommended by the Finance and Steering Committees, and presented to the Board of Directors for approval. Excess revenue shall be returned to the SELPA member districts via the same ADA methodology under which the Regional Program revenue was generated. Section I – Fee for Service (FFS) The Fee for Service mechanism has been developed to provide revenue for students in Regional Program placements (e.g., a Snowline student in an SDC class operated by Hesperia or San Bernardino County). The Fee for Service Rates range from the less intense placements/cost to the more intense placements/cost (i.e., from DIS to SH/SDC). The Fee Schedule shall be reviewed annually by the Finance and Steering Committees to determine future year’s cost factors. Annually, by March 15, statewide fiscal changes that may impact the current year’s Fee Schedule Cost Factors shall be identified and addressed by the Finance and Steering Committees. Recommendations to alter the annual Fee Schedule cost factors shall be submitted to the Board of Directors for approval. (Refer to the Desert/Mountain SELPA Fee for Service Procedure for the detailed procedure.) Section J – Charter Schools Special Education Funding Special Education funding is calculated at the SELPA level per AB 602 via the state prepared Special Education Funding Exhibit. The Special Education Exhibit calculates the revenue, generated on a per ADA basis by multiplying the SELPA-wide ADA by the current Statewide Target Rate(s). The funding calculation includes separate rates for Base, COLA, Growth, NPS/NPA and Equalization (if applicable). These rates are combined by the SELPA to form a blended rate and is distributed equally to the member Districts on a per ADA basis. A. LEA Charter Schools
