How is the Highly Capable Program funded?
Districts that apply for the State Highly Capable Program grant receive state funding for two percent of their total FTE students. The allocation is determined by a formula (two percent of the total district full time student enrollment multiplied by the per-pupil amount for that year equals the HCP allocation). The per-pupil amount is adjusted annually. The state is not the only source of revenue for the program. Districts can choose to supplement their state program funds through the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title V and/or funds raised at the local level for HCP programs.
