Allocation Methodology

The annual AIS allocation is calculated based on the statewide total number of religious and independent school students who did not meet level 3 or 4 on 3-8 State assessments in ELA and mathematics in the prior school year. Once the number of students is established on a state level, a per pupil rate is calculated as well as the total amount of funds available to an individual school.

Per-Pupil Rate is then multiplied by the school's reported number of students who did not meet level 3 or 4 on the grade 3-8 State Assessments in ELA and Math in the 2021-2022 school year.*
