RWADA= Resident Weighted Average Daily Attendance Section 1950 of the Education Law requires that costs for the administrative budget be apportioned among districts based on RWADA. Several other program budgets are also charged on this basis. Fluctuations in the population of students within the 10 component districts will influence the distribution of all the costs tied to the RWADA formula. Generally, if a single district’s student population decreases, measured as a percentage of the entire student population of a BOCES, that district’s percentage of RWADA-driven costs will also decrease. As a district’s population grows to a larger percentage of the overall population, that district’s RWADA-driven costs will increase. The formula that is used does not, however, count every student equally, so the RWADA count assigned to a district is not a simple count of the number of students registered. Regular education school students at a secondary level and certain special education students receive a heavier weighting than primary and elementary students.
