Students in programs are included in the average daily membership of their regularly assigned campus. Programs funded by the line item included alternative learning and other programs. Methods used to fund these programs varied from legislated add-on weights to grants developed by SBoE rules and regulations. These monies must be matched with local funds or in-kind contributions. Fifth year funding is contingent upon state-validation and replication by another district.
Programs lose eligibility after five consecutive years.
