Running Start 1.20 FTE LimitationSummary of Change
HB 1087 caps the claimable Running Start FTE.
Beginning September 1, 2011: A Running Start student is limited to a 1.20
combined high school and college FTE. Neither high school or college can exceed 1.00
FTE. FTE that exceeds 1.20 will be subject to
tuition charges by the college. For detail guidance, see Bulletin No. 047-11
dated July 26, 2011, Attachment A and B.
Running Start 1.20 FTE LimitationImplementation
New Running Start Enrollment Verification Form should be completed by:
Student/Parents High School College Outlines the new funding
limits. Ensures that all parties
understand the possibility of incurring tuition costs.
Student to complete.
High School Counselor and
Running Start Advisor to complete with
student.
Student and parents complete.
Running Start 1.20 FTE LimitationImplementation
High schools and colleges must work together to ensure FTE is not exceeded.
For Fall 2011, students’ schedules must be re-evaluated to determine if high school/college combined FTE exceeds 1.20. Change students’ schedules, or Notify student/parents that tuition is due to college.
For future college quarters/high school semesters: Implementing with college and high school on
different schedules.
Running Start 1.20 FTE LimitationReconciling Monthly Bills
Reconcile the college bill with their monthly P-223RS.
Running Start enrollment based on ‘count’ date enrollment.
Rules require that 93% of apportionment generated from the P-223RS be forwarded to college.
You are not required to pay colleges for enrollment not reported on the P-223RS.
Changes to ALE Programs
In 2010-11, two WAC different revisions were made.
FIRST Revision Last Fall, a workgroup of ALE stackholders
met to revise/update ALE rules (WAC 392-121-182). Public hearing was held on April 26, 2011. New WAC was adopted shortly thereafter with
effective date of September 1, 2011.
Changes to ALE Programs
SECOND Revision Last Spring, Legislature passed HB2065
which requires: 10% to 20% reduction in ALE funding. Offer substantially similar experiences for ALE and
standard school students. Emergency rules were submitted – changing WAC
to align with HB2065. Public hearing held on August 17, 2011. Permanent ALE rules filed on August 22, 2011.
Changes when Counting ALE FTE
For students not making satisfactory progress: No longer requires reporting actual hours. Requires intervention plan be in place
within 5 days. Students counted for more than 0.80
FTE must be reported for state/federal requirements - AYP. Districts must report zero for students
claimed for more than a 0.80 FTE and not taking state assessments.
Changes when Counting ALE FTE First Count Day:
Written Student Learning Plan (WSLP) must: Be completed prior to or on one of the first 4 school
days with start date one of the first 4 school days. Student must participate on one of the first 4 school
days. FTE is based on average weekly hours in WSLP.
Rest of year, monthly count based on: Count FTE based on average weekly hours in WSLP. If progress is unsatisfactory, intervention plan within
5 days of evaluation. If intervention plan is not in place within 5 days, remove student’s FTE from P-223.
ALE Funding Reduction
HB2065 requires funding reduction of 10% to 20% for ALE programs.
Leaves implementation up to OSPI. 10% reduction to ALE students that:
Met face-to-face with teacher for average one hour a week each month.
See subsection 8 of WAC for reduced contact time for students enrolled part-time.
For students whose WSLP contains only online courses that offer synchronous digital contact.
All other ALE students will receive 20% reduction.
ALE ReportingSAFS ALE Enrollment Reporting
Changes to Program Management Screen: District must answer question if program
intends to meet face-to-face requirement or offer only online synchronous digital contact class.
Five program types will be narrowed to three: Contract Base, Digital/Online, Parent
Partnership.
ALE ReportingSAFS ALE Enrollment Reporting
ALE monthly reporting screen changes: Existing two columns will be used to collect
enrollment that meets minimum contact: Headcount and FTE.
Two columns added for enrollment that does not meet minimum contact: Headcount and FTE.
Districts that intend to meet face-to-face requirement will be able to input data in all columns.
Districts that do not intend to meet minimum contact time will be limited to inputting in columns that does not meet minimum contact.

Due date continues to be last school day of month.
ALE ReportingP223 & P223-S Enrollment Reporting
P223 will have four columns added. Two columns for ALE enrollment that meets
minimum contact time – Headcount and FTE. Two columns for ALE enrollment that does not
meet contact time – Headcount and FTE. P223 will have boxes to report ALE program
that generates vocational funding: Skills Center, Secondary CTE, Middle School CTE.
P223-S will see similar changes. New report -1251-ALE.
ALE ReportingP223 Enrollment Reporting
Monthly Reporting: Report all enrollment including ALE in K-12
column of P-223 and submit to ESD by deadline (p 10 of handbook).
At end of month, review enrollment reported at the beginning of month and revise; Was intervention plan needed and in place in time,
No – remove from district total enrollment reported in K-12 column.
Yes - continue…
ALE ReportingP223 Enrollment Reporting
Does the program intend to meet face-to-face contact requirement,
No – report ALE enrollment in the ‘NOT MET’ columns. Yes - continue… Did the student meet the face-to-face contact
requirement, No – report ALE enrollment in the ‘NOT MET’ columns. Yes – report ALE enrollment in the ‘MET’ columns.
Submit revised P223 by next month’s enrollment deadline.
Oct BEA K–12 enrollment reported on Oct P223: due Oct 11th. Oct ALE enrollment reported on revised Oct P223: due
Nov10th.
ALE Reporting ALE Funding Reduction
District should report 100% of their ALE enrollment. Do not report 90% or 80% of enrollment. OSPI will take reduction based on 100% of reported
enrollment. For Sept–Dec apportionment, reduction will based
on average reported ALE enrollment for 2010–11 SY – 90% for all.
Starting Jan, apportionment will be based on actual enrollment.
BEA based on Average of Sept–Jan. ALE reduction based on Average of Sept–Dec.
Other ALE Changes ALE activities or experience must be
substantially similar to those offered to students in seat-time based classes.
Prohibition to directly reimburse students or parents for ALE activities/experience.
See http://digitallearning.k12.wa.us/ale/ Annotated ALE rules – Walk-through of each
section. Common questions. Sample documents ALE program training schedule.
K-3 High Poverty School Enrollment HB1087 provides enhanced funding for K–3 grades
for schools that are identified as High Poverty. For a list of schools, go to:
Eligible Schools for K-3 Poverty Class Size Excel file at http://www.k12.wa.us/SAFS/11budprp.asp
Methodology used to determine list of schools: Used October 2010 CEDARS enrollment as of May 2,
2011. K–6 Prototypical Free & Reduced Lunch program
enrollment exceeded 50% of school’s total enrollment. Schools had K–3 enrollment. Does not receive Small School or Remote and
Necessary funding.
K-3 High Poverty School Enrollment
Proposed WAC rule: High Poverty will use previous methodology. Preliminary list will be based on March 31st extract
and posted in April. Secondary list will be based on July 31st extract
and posted in August. Final list will be based on final extract taken on
Sept 30th and posted in October. After Sept 30th, the list of eligible high poverty
schools will not change.
Running Start Program In the High School Model
Currently many high schools are offering Running Start programs at their schools.
Legislative intent – to encourage dual credit programs for high school students.
Memorandum No 044-11M provides detail guidance to frequently asked questions with RCW/WAC references.
Running Start Program In the High School Model
Role of the Teacher Running Start teacher is an employee of
college during Running Start instruction. Running Start teacher is supervised by college
during Running Start instruction. Running Start teacher cannot receive
compensation from school district and college for the same work.
Critical to consider district and college policies, as well as, collective bargaining agreements.
Running Start Program In the High School Model
Additional issues: Location of Running Start class can be at a high
school. Classes can be limited to high school students
only. Fee waivers must be made available. 93% of apportionment generated from Running
Start enrollment must be sent to college. District can charge facilities use fee. Running Start students are subject to college
policies, to include grades and behavior policies.
Enrollment -Why is it important?
Monthly enrollment drives school funding. Classification of students can alter
district’s funding. Mistakes in reporting can result in audit
findings. Data used for forecasting future
enrollment and the state’s funding obligations.

Revising Enrollment. Running Edits. Important EDS Enrollment Tips. SAFS vs. CEDARS Reporting. Resources for Enrollment
Reporting Questions.
Revising Enrollment
During school year: Districts may make revisions directly in EDS.
After Aug thru late Nov: Districts may revise prior year enrollment thru EDS.
After late Nov: Prior year revisions made on paper to OSPI. Note status of that year’s audit.
During audit: Districts must notify auditor of revisions.
After auditor’s exit meeting: Districts cannot revise their enrollment.
WAC 392-117-045 outlines steps for revising enrollment.
Running Edits
ALWAYS before submitting EDS files: Run and check your edits. Run your reports. Check your data against your reports.
EDS Edits: Edits do not check FTE numbers. Zero-to-blank edits – run corresponding
report and check data. Edits check source month to the last
previously ‘Accepted by OSPI’ record.
Important EDSEnrollment Tips
Use the Go Back button within EDS rather than the back arrow in the browser.
Hitting the ‘Print Friendly’ button in the P223 input screen can create stacked files.
Memory Exception Error - Submit your P223/P223H early!
