The US Census Bureau has released estimated census data for calculating Title I, Part A allocations for local educational agencies (LEAs) for federal fiscal year 2025 (SY 2025-26). Census data information for 2022-23 is provided by state as well as 2023 census poverty data for each Wyoming school district. Review of the 2023 poverty data is important, as it is used to determine 2025-26 Title I, Part A eligibility and allocations for each LEA. The challenge period to review 2023 poverty and population data for certain non-statistical errors upon processing information to define geographic school district boundaries ends March 17.
This U.S. Department of Education memo explains the purpose of the census data and the process used to determine LEA eligibility and allocations. LEAs should verify the accuracy of school district boundaries. For information on how to challenge the data, contact the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) Branch at 301-763-3193 or sehsd.saipe@census.gov. Include name, mailing address, telephone number, and organization affiliation.
For more information, contact Les Koch, Title I Director, at les.koch1@wyo.gov or 307-777-6216.
