Community education programs provide learning and involvement opportunities for people of all ages including providing school districts residents with the opportunity to utilize educational facilities and programs during non-school hours. Community Education programs may also be offered to K-12 students during the summer and other non-school times, and fees for those programs may be charged. Community Education revenue may also be used for educational programming including: adults with disabilities, school age care, Adult Basic Education (ABE) and Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE).
Community education revenue is equal to $5.23 multiplied by the population of the district (per capita), or 1,335, whichever is greater (for 2006-07, the community education formula will increase to $5.42). A district that implements a youth service program is also eligible for an additional $1.00 per capita. Districts with a Youth After-School Enrichment Program also receive $1.85 times the greater of (a) 1,335 residents or (b) the population of the district, up to 10,000. Districts with populations over 10,000 offering a Youth After-School Enrichment Program also receive $0.43 times the population greater than 10,000 in the district. To be eligible for its full community education revenue, a district must levy a maximum tax capacity rate of .985 percent.
