A3. Total District - Detail Functions

This report presents Total District Expenditures by the five In$ite™ functions, the fifteen In$ite™ sub-functions, and by thirty-two In$ite™ detail functions. This report categorizes expenditures at each functional level by dollar amount, percent, and by Per Pupil amounts.

  • The Number of Pupils (upper left box) is the total enrollment entered for all locations defined on the Location Information screen under the Setup menu. This includes students served at out-of-district locations covered by tuition payments made by the district. The Number of Pupils at the top of this report is the basis for the per-pupil calculations throughout this report.

  • The Total District Expenditure (Col. III, Row 2) represents the total of all line items analyzed in In$ite™. Also represented on Row 2 (Col. IV) is the Total District Per Pupil expenditure.

  • In$ite™ Function (Col. II) refers to the system number of each In$ite™ function, sub-function or detail function. This number is for easy reference when doing database queries, and does not affect any information reflected in this report.

  • Total District (Col. III) reflects the In$ite™ function expenditure totals for ALL active line items loaded in In$ite™. Likewise, expenditures within each In$ite™ function are distributed by In$ite™ sub-function, as well as by each In$ite™ detail function.

  • Total District Per Pupil (Col. IV) is Total District (Col. III) divided by Number of Pupils (upper left box).

  • % to Total District Per Pupil (Col. V) is the calculation of each detail function, sub-function, and function line in the report as a percentage of the total at the top of the Total District column (Col. III).

ES2. District Expenditures by Education Level

This report presents expenditures for the five In$ite™ functions for the six In$ite™ education levels. Each location must be assigned an education level (elementary, middle, high school, alternative school, other school, or non-school) by the user in the Location Information screen in the Setup menu.

Education level expenditures reflect the sum of all line items coded to locations defined with the same education level. Education level enrollment is the total enrollment for all locations defined with the same education level. Out-of-district enrollment is reflected in the non-school education level column (primarily, central expenditures not allocated to other locations), and out-of-district expenditures are reflected in the non-school education level column as well.

  • % of Total Expenditures reflects the Total Education Level expenditures divided by Total District expenditures.

  • % of Total Enrollment reflects the Education Level Enrollment divided by the Total District Enrollment.

During the In$ite™  process, all school district expenditures are associated with an In$ite™ function, an In$ite™ program, and a location. Reports are produced using one or more of these dimensions.

In$ite™ is organized around five broad functional areas: Instruction, Instructional Support, Operations, Other Commitments, and Leadership. Within each of these five broad areas are sub-functions providing greater detail. In total, there are fifteen sub-functions. Within sub-functions, there are a total of thirty-two detail functions. Each school district expenditure is assigned to one of thirty-two detail functions, which can then be aggregated to sub-functions and functions on different reports.

The outline below shows the three levels of functions and their definitions. While most categorization is fairly straightforward, some cases require a careful evaluation of job duties or purpose of an expenditure to properly determine the In$ite™ function. Because every school district is slightly different, these definitions are meant as guidelines and do not cover every conceivable scenario.

This chart is similar to the Rhode Island #12 chart.

ES1. District Expenditures by Program

This report presents expenditures for the five In$ite™ functions for the six broad In$ite program categories.

Expenditures for each program reflect all line items mapped to that In$ite™ program category or to one of its sub-programs. The Total Expenditures column (Col. I) is equal to the Total District Expenditures, as defined above.

Program enrollments may be on a full-time-equivalent (FTE) or headcount (number of individual participants) basis. If the district uses the headcount method and some students participate in more than one program (i.e. part of the day spent in general education, part in special education), the total program enrollment could be greater than the actual enrollment of the district. Program enrollments are assigned in the Program Enrollments screen under the Setup menu.

  • % of Total Expenditures reflects the Total Program Expenditures divided by Total District Expenditures.

  • % Involvement reflects the Program Enrollment for a specific program divided by the Total District Enrollment.

During the In$ite™ implementation process, all school district expenditures are associated with an In$ite™ function, an In$ite™ program, and a location. Reports are produced using one or more of these dimensions.

In$ite™ is organized around five broad functional areas: instruction, instructional support, operations, other commitments, and leadership. Within each of these five broad areas are sub-functions providing greater detail. In total, there are fifteen sub-functions. Within sub-functions, there are a total of 32 detail functions. Each school district expenditure is assigned to one of 32 detail functions, which can then be aggregated to sub-functions and functions on different reports.

The outline below shows the three levels of functions and their definitions. While most categorization is fairly straightforward, in some cases a careful evaluation of job duties or purpose of an expenditure is needed to properly determine the In$ite™ function. Because every school district is slightly different, these definitions are meant as guidelines and do not cover every conceivable scenario.
