BOCES Budget - RWADA What is RWADA Resident Weighted Average Daily Attendance & how does it affect our BOCES budget???? Resident Weighted Average Daily Attendance. This pupil measurement is a count, weighted for certain groups of students, for all resident public school pupils in the district. It is calculated by subtracting the WADA of nonresident pupils attending public school in the district from the district's WADA and adding the WADA of resident pupils of the district who are in full time attendance at a school operated by a Board of Cooperative Educational Services, a County Vocational Education and Extension Board, or another public school district. 10
BOCES Budget - RWADA RWADA is used to allocate BOCES costs between school districts in many of the BOCES cosers. Our District RWADA (1158) will increase from this year (1077) while total RWADA for all districts (32,597) will decrease from this year (33,089) giving Elmira Heights a larger share of the overall costs (3.55%) next year; up from (3.25%). 11 Our BOCES aid ratio (.784) will increase next year (.80) which will mean more aid to help offset our increased share of expenditures.

How Will We Close the Gap? What are the choices? Further program cuts/staff reduction Use of Reserves/Fund Balance Combination of both Possible Additional State Aid??? 27
Gap Elimination Adjustment 28 The Governor s budget deducts $932,146 in the form of the Gap Elimination Adjustment. Half of the GEA restored would be $466,073 & cut our gap to $119,096 Full restoration of the GEA would eliminate our funding gap and possibly allow the District to restore some cuts and add some needed additional staffing that has been eliminated over the last 4 years. In addition our BOCES Special Education is likely to increase due to additional students who have recently enrolled in the District.
