Every student brings $12,251 to EMSA in PCTC revenue over the course of a year.  EMSA had 414 students at the Q1 census, two short of our full enrollment, 416.  This resulted in a revenue shortfall for EMSA of $6,125 for Q1.  The second enrollment certification of 410 students results in a revenue shortfall of $18,750 for Q2.  $24,875 then is the total revenue shortfall to date.  

 

EMSA's Free/Reduced rate percentage, so far unofficial, now stands at 54%.  ISBE certification of this is expected in mid-December.
