                            TITLE 25--INDIANS
 
     CHAPTER I--BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 39--THE INDIAN SCHOOL EQUALIZATION PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
            Subpart B--The Indian School Equalization Formula
 
Sec. 39.10  Establishment of the formula.


    There is hereby established the Indian School Equalization Formula 
(ISEF). Funds for the instruction and residential care of Indian 
children shall be earned as an entitlement by each local school 
according to a weighted student unit formula. The funds allocated 
through the formula shall be computed as follows:
    (a) The basic instructional average daily membership (ADM) shall be 
counted at each school location as provided for in subpart C of this 
part. From the application of ratios or weights as provided in these 
rules a weighted student unit (WSU) value for each school location is 
derived by multiplying the student count for each program area by the 
weights.
    (b) If the school is a boarding school or a dormitory, the 
residential students will produce program units which will, by the 
application of weights, produce additional WSU's.
    (c) The ADM count of eligible small schools or dormitories may 
generate additional unit supplements.
    (d) All Alaskan schools are eligible under the formula to generate 
supplemental units.
    (e) The total weighted student unit count for each school location 
is then multiplied by a base unit value to derive the estimated dollar 
entitlement to each school(s).

The total amount is made available to each school(s), under the rules 
related to administrative provisions provided in subparts C and D of 
this part.
