The full DCPS Proposed Operating Budget for FY 2002 (except for individual school budgets) is on the DCPS website, www.k12.dc.us.

NOTE: Figures in these tables are from the same underlying data used in DCPS summary charts in budget summaries for FY 2000 and FY 2001 and the FY 2002 Requested Budget and are consistent with them, but reflect definitions that differ slightly from those of DCPS as to categorization. Certain items have been realigned from earlier budget locations to reflect reorganizations, so as to maintain comparability. For example, the Taft special education program is included under the Weighted Student Formula for FY 2000, since it is now funded there in 2001. Categorization differs slightly from that used by DCPS in its Budget Book. For example, DCPS includes psychological and social work services to special education students in Central Instructional Support, while we include them under School-based services because they are provided face-to-face to children. DCPS includes all security and utility costs under School-based Operations, while we allocate a portion to central offices. The differences are small.

General education & overhead: all DCPS expenditures from local funding except special education, ESL, state level costs.
Non-DCPS special education: costs for all students in private placements, including residential, LaShawn (foster care), and Commission on Mental Health wards.
Federal funding/DCPS excludes FY 2000 carryover funds, grants for state agency functions and grant monies passed on to private or public charter schools.
NOTE: Figures in these tables are from the same underlying data used in DCPS summary charts in budget summaries for FY 2000 and FY 2001, and the FY 2002 Requested Budget and are consistent with them, but reflect minor differences in attribution to categories. Certain items have been realigned from earlier budget locations to offset reorganizations, so as to maintain comparability. For example, the Taft special education program has been moved to the Weighted Student Formula category.
