Georgia FTE Funding Optimization

Find every dollar. Fund every student.

In Georgia, a student who qualifies for extra support only receives it - and the district only receives the funding to provide it - when that student is coded and scheduled correctly. Most districts code conservatively and never see who is being missed, because they have nothing to compare against. We built a practitioner-led way to show where your district stands against similar districts, then pinpoint the students who already qualify for added support but are not yet set up to receive it.

The gap is real, and it is invisible

When a student is missed, the support is missed too.

Georgia's QBE formula treats base funding as a floor. Certain services earn added funding on top of it: Early Intervention (EIP), Remedial Education (REP), Gifted, Special Education, and ESOL. That funding follows the service, not the student. When a student who qualifies is not coded and scheduled into the service, two things happen at once: the student may not get the support they are entitled to, and the district does not receive the funding meant to provide it. It happens quietly, every count day, and most districts have no way to know how their coding compares to peers serving similar students.

See where your district stands

A peer comparison built from public Georgia allotment data. We benchmark your district against demographically similar districts and surface the weighted categories where fewer of your students are coded for support than at districts serving similar populations.

  • Compares your counts to districts with similar demographics
  • Covers EIP, REP, Gifted, and Special Education
  • Built on four years of statewide allotment data

Find the students behind the gap

Our FTE eligibility view reads the assessment data you already collect and applies Georgia's EIP and REP criteria to flag students who appear to qualify for support but may not be coded or scheduled to receive it.

  • Works from data you already have: MAP, iReady, Amira, Georgia Milestones
  • Every flag shows its work, the evidence behind why the student qualifies, so your team can verify with confidence
  • In active development. Reserve early access for your district.
How it works

From comparison to students served.

1

Compare

Start with a peer comparison to see which weighted categories are worth a closer look in your district.

2

Identify

We surface students who meet Georgia's EIP and REP eligibility criteria, using assessment data you already collect, with the evidence behind each one.

3

Schedule and support

Your team verifies each student and schedules them into the right course so they begin receiving support. In Georgia, the funding only follows once a student is enrolled and being served during the FTE count window, so the support comes first.

Built by people who have run QBE cycles

Practitioner-built, not vendor-built.

This is not a black box. The comparison comes from real Georgia allotment data, and the eligibility logic comes directly from the state's own EIP and REP guidelines. It was shaped alongside Georgia district leaders who have sat through count day and FTE cleanup themselves.

Grounded in state rules. Eligibility follows Georgia's published EIP and REP criteria, not our interpretation.
Transparent by design. Every flag shows the data points behind it, so your team makes the final call.
Diagnostic, not prescriptive. We surface students to review. Your district decides what to code and schedule.

We treat districts as partners, not prospects.

Standard Education is a Georgia-rooted team that builds tools with the districts that use them. The same data you already trust us with for attendance, behavior, and assessments can help you make sure students are getting the support they qualify for.
