  1. PI-SAGE-ENT Form Instructions for 2013-14 School Year

  2. Overview Basic information about the ENT • Please listen and follow directions closely. Errors in reporting could result in a school not receiving any SAGE aid for 2013-14. • Out-of-compliance schools may have their contracts terminated. • PI-SAGE-ENT Forms are due on or before October 4, 2013.

  3. Overview(continued) • Report the following by each classroom/section: • Number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) regular, licensed, elementary teachers (only whole numbers 1, 2, or 3); • Total enrollment student count; • Number of low-income students (free and reduced) for each class/section for each grade level; and • Each grade level can have up to 15 class/section entries. Start with “Section 01” and continue in numerical sequence until all of your classroom(s)/section(s) have been entered. • Example: For three first grade classrooms, use sections one through three to report each classroom/section individually. Save after each classroom/section entry.

  4. Overview (continued) • Reporting Total Enrollment Count • Report all pupils being served under the SAGE contract for this school. • Include classroom(s)/section(s) for grades physically located in a different school or building. • Do NOT include in the count any 4-year-old Kindergarten pupils or pupils enrolled in this school that are not covered by the SAGE contract. Multi-age classrooms that include 4th grade students should include 4th graders in total student counts, but do not include them in low-income counts.

  5. Overview(continued) • Reporting low-income students • Use the measure used when determining poverty rates by school for the purposes of distributing Title I funds among the various schools in your district (form PI-9575). • Many schools use eligibility for free and reduced lunch as their primary means of determining poverty.

  6. Flexibility: Act 95 • Allows flexibility for districts and schools with current SAGE contracts • MUST maintain 18:1 or 30:2 in K and 1 • Choose to maintain 18:1 or 30:2 in grades 2, 3, both, or neither in one or more years of the contract • No SAGE aid for grade levels not implementing 18:1 or 30:2 class size ratios • NOTE: Class size ratios are based on classroom configurations on third Friday in September.

  7. Flexibility: Act 95, cont’d Compliance in K-1 • Kindergarten and 1st Grade MUST adhere to 18:1 or 30:2 • No waivers allowed • Failure to maintain SAGE class size requirements in K-1 could result in loss of contract

  8. Flexibility: Act 95, cont’d Grades 2-3 Flexibility • Schools can choose to participate in either grade 2, 3, both, or neither on an annual basis • To receive aid for a grade level, all classrooms or sections at that grade level must adhere to the 18:1 or 30:2 class size ratios • Example: In second grade, class sizes are 18:1, 18:1, and 19:1; school does NOT receive aid for any students in second grade.

  9. Utilizing Flexibility • If your school chooses to utilize flexibility in grades 2 and/or 3, please send an e-mail to Sharon Suchla and Michael Dennison when you submit your ENT. This will streamline our process to ensure aid is allocated properly. sharon.suchla@dpi.wi.gov michael.dennison@dpi.wi.gov
