Allocations are made on a per-student basis. Allocation and payment notices are sent to the respective school districts prior to September 1 of each year.

  • The amount per student for those scoring Unsatisfactory is up to a maximum of $240;
  • The amount per student for those scoring Limited Knowledge is up to a maximum of $180.

All related expenditures of these funds should use the Oklahoma Cost Accounting System (OCAS) Reporting Code 362.

Districts are not required at this time to submit ACE Remediation Plans for Oklahoma State Department of Education approval; however, districts should keep a local board-approved remediation plan on file at the local district. Plans should include:

  • How remediation funds will be spent,
  • When and where remediation will be provided,
  • What content will be addressed,
  • How instruction will be delivered, and
  • Who will provide the instruction, including the highly qualified status of the instructor or supervisor.

Research-based remediation and intervention strategies can be found in the documents on the Resources page.

Districts must also complete and submit a District Remediation Data Form and a District Remediation Report each year as requested through the School District Reporting Site (SDRS).
