How is NWABSD's State funding calculated?
The State Foundation formula is the State's way of equally funding School District's accross the State. We receive State funding based on the average daily enrollment of our students in October (October count). Our funding is calculated by each school, then multiplied by other cost factors, and then multiplied by the Base Student Allocation (BSA) of $5930. The state also deducts eligible federal Impact Aid to equalize funding accross the state.
