How is FTE calculated for purposes of enrollment reporting in an ALE program?
FTE is calculated based on the estimated weekly hours in the learning plan. Partial FTE is determined by the percentage or ratio of hours in the learning plan of a part-time student as compared to a 1.0 FTE student. • Example: 25 hours a week represents a 1.0 FTE student (Grades 4–12). A part-time middle school student Susie Jones enrolls and the estimated hours in her WSLP are 15 hours a week. 15/25 = .6. Susie would be .6 FTE.
