At-Risk Salary Percentage Calculator Available

“May state at-risk funds be used to support classroom teacher salaries?” This and other frequently asked questions regarding providing at-risk services to Kansas students are answered in KSDE’s Guidelines for the Kansas At-Risk Pupil Assistance Program. Keep in mind that the proportion of a classroom teacher’s salary that may be paid from at-risk funding must be equal to or lower than the proportion of time the teacher is providing evidence-based best practices to support students identified as eligible for at-risk services. A new At-Risk Salary Percentage Calculator is available to help calculate what percentage of a classroom teacher’s salary, if any, may be paid with state at-risk funds. The calculator is available on this webpage, under the “Calculators” section.
