Districts routinely under-claim the funding they have already earned, because the students who generate it are scattered across systems that do not talk.

Quantify the gap against comparable districts, then produce the student-level list that closes it.

How we work it

1. 1

   Size the gap

   Benchmark the district against peers on the funding categories where under-claiming concentrates.

2. 2

   Name the students behind it

   A gap is not actionable. A list of students who qualify for a program they are not coded into is.

3. 3

   Verify eligibility before you claim

   Screening and service records substantiate the claim, so the recovery survives an audit.

4. 4

   Hold the gain

   Re-run the benchmark the following year. Recovery that is not built into the coding workflow decays.
