Appendix C

PCSP FUNDING AND FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS

• Exhibit C-1 represents a state-by-state breakdown of PCSP funds for FY1995-FY1999. For each year that a state was provided PCSP funds, two figures are displayed in the chart. The first figure represents the annual total per state for the fiscal year, including supplemental funding.
• The second figure (in parentheses) represents the amount of funding per year available for subgrants. For many states, the amount reserved for subgrants was the total funding amount minus the allowable state set-aside of 5%; however, other states reported that they reserved smaller amounts for use at the state level.

• In addition to providing information on the amount of funding available for subgrants and administration on a state-by-state basis, Exhibit C-1 provides evidence of the program's overall growth since 1995 - both in terms of the total funding allocation and the increase in the number of states funded.
