Overview OSPI concerns are:• Running Start (RS) in high school setting is

reported accurately based on enrolled credits over length of time.

• A student’s combined 1.20 FTE and 1.20 AAFTE are not exceeded.

Changes to Enrollment Reporting for RS in High School Setting Class

• FTE calculation is based on enrolled credits over length of time.

• September is a count day for RS in high school setting classes.

• Formula is:([enrolled class credits]÷ 15) x (3 ÷ [class’s # of months]).

15 credits equals 1.0 FTE Converts 3 month college quarter class over actual length of class.

• For example, – a 5 credit class offered over a high school semester would be

(5÷15)x(3÷5) = 0.20 FTE.– A 5 credit class offered over a school year would be

(5÷15)x(3÷10) = 0.10 FTE.
