For CSR operations funding, how are the prior year CBEDS enrollment data to be used in completing the application?
The instructions in the Application for CSR program include a detailed explanation of how to use CBEDS data in completing Page 2, Column3. Please refer to these instructions. A district will only need to use prior year CBEDS enrollment data if the projected number of participating pupils is greater than the number of pupils reported on the prior year-s CBEDS report. In these cases, the prior year’s CBEDS data will be considered a “cap” or “ceiling” in completing page 2, column3 of the application. The total number of participating pupils may not be greater than the district’s total number of pupils for the appropriate grade levels, as reported on the prior year CBEDS.
