Funding Allocation Sheets

The Fresno County Charter SELPA's Funding Allocation Sheets are designed to provide a transparent view of the allocations from each of the various funding sources. The sheets use Microsoft excel and provide the information both on a SELPA level and by each Member Charter School. 

The Funding Allocation Sheets are provided to Member Charter Schools in the following manner: 

  • They are emailed to all Charter SELPA fiscal contacts. 
  • They are available on the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools sharepoint. 
  • A 3-minute video describing the Funding Allocation Sheets can be viewed here.

The Funding Allocation Sheet includes the sources and the amounts of special education funds that are allocated to each Member LEA. Each funding source line contains a Reference Page, which helps the viewer find the tab that contains the SELPA calculation. For example, the Reference Page for the funding source labeled "IDEA - Entitlement" is 3310. Tab 3310 contains the entire grant and calculation used to make the allocation:
