Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 10, November 13, 2024
AEAs will submit program and budget proposals and claims consolidating all juvenile home education programs within each AEA. Certain program information may be required for each separate juvenile home.
(1) The number of classrooms being provided by each AEA is to be reported on the budget proposals and claims. The number is to be expressed in terms of full-time equivalent (FTE) classrooms. One FTE represents a full-time teacher providing a program during the normal school year. One-tenth FTE will be added for each month of summer school taught on a daily full-time basis. A full school year and three months of summer school is calculated as 1.3 FTE.(2) Each teacher will keep a daily register pursuant to Iowa Code section 294.4.(3) The average daily membership of students of school age living in juvenile homes who are being provided an educational program will be reported on the budget proposals and claims. "Average daily membership (ADM)" means the average obtained by dividing the total of the aggregate days of attendance plus the aggregate days of absence by the total number of student contact days. Student contact days are the days during which the educational program is provided and students are under the guidance and instruction of the instructional professional staff. "Aggregate days" means the sum of the number of days of attendance and days of absence for all pupils who are enrolled during the school year. A student is considered enrolled after being placed in a juvenile home and taking part in the educational program. A student is considered to be in membership from the date of enrollment until the date of leaving the juvenile home or receiving a high school diploma or its equivalent, whichever occurs first. ADM will be calculated on the regular school year exclusive of summer session. School age is defined pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 282.Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-63.16
