How is the fair share of expenditures calculated for participating private nonprofit schools?
• Count the number of public school children (or teachers) participating in the federal program. • Count the number of private nonprofit school students (or teachers) eligible to receive benefits in the program. • Add them together to get the total number of students in public and private. • Divide into the total amount available to get a per student amount (a reasonable amount may be set aside for administering the private nonprofit school program prior to doing this). • Multiply the per student amount times the number of eligible private nonprofit school children (or teachers). • This amount is the “fair share” for private nonprofit schools. • Example of calculation: Participating public school children = 1000 Eligible private school children = 25 Total = 1025 students $100,000/1025 = $97.56 per student $97.
