Comments:

Special Education - For the 2002-03, 2003-04, and 2004-05 school years, a portion of the special education enrollment was funded with federal dollars.

Learning Assistance Program - In the 2005 legislative session, the Legislature made significant changes to the allocation formula for the Learning Assistance Program. For this reason, the workload amounts for the 2005-07 biennium are not comparable to prior years.

Learning Assistance Program - Beginning in the 2008-09 school year, additional LAP units are provided to school districts with concentrations of bilingual students exceeding 20 percent of enrollment pursuant to RCW 28A.165.055, making year-to-year comparisons of total LAP units before and after this change non-comparable.
