Per pupil funding definition
Per pupil funding means the amount calculated for a district pursuant to section 22-54.5-201 (3).
Per pupil funding or “PPF”) for each student enrolled at each MLA School based on the funding procedures to be determined in the manner set forth below. The District shall set aside for use by each MLA School the calculated amount for each pupil enrolled at the MLA School. District remains responsible for timely processing expenditures and payments out of MLA designated funds. MLA shall have authority to utilize PPF in a manner consistent with law and District shall expend and make payments of MLA PPF according to MLA direction or instructions.

Through the course of the first year, and prior to the second year of operations, the details of the final funding methodology will be determined and agreed to by MLA and the District. In the first year the funding methodology will provide full transparency of both the revenues and expenses for the MLA Schools. In the first year, therefore, revenues will flow to each MLA School on a per-pupil calculation basis, based on an understanding of the mix of students and overall average daily attendance (“ADA”) of each MLA School. The extent of revenue set aside for each MLA School will be determined by the historical theoretical revenues and actual historical expenses of each MLA School. An agreed upon amount of Special Education revenues will be subtracted from the revenue set aside for each MLA School. Likewise, other encroachments which currently burden District schools will be subtracted from the revenue allocated to the MLA Schools. All District-provided services r...
