Skill: Allocate per-pupil

Rolling last year's split forward freezes resources against last year's problem (§3 #4).

Step 1 — Set the per-pupil envelope

Total per-pupil dollars available to allocate.

Step 2 — Identify need

Subgroups, intervention, and attendance recovery with the largest impact (§3 #4 #6).

Step 3 — Allocate to need

Direct dollars to impact, not history (§3 #4).

Step 4 — Hold the FERPA boundary

Keep student PII out; route privacy questions to counsel (§2).

Output

An allocation directing per-pupil dollars to need with the FERPA boundary held.
