CMAVTS is funded through a formula established by its six sending districts. Unlike charter-school funding, this formula does not separately account for students receiving special education services.
For the 2025–26 school year, the infographic compares:
$8.24 million in actual district contributions under the JOC formula.
$10.46 million in estimated funding using a charter-school-equivalent calculation.
$2.23 million in additional funding under that hypothetical comparison.
The question is simple: Does the current funding formula adequately reflect the needs of CMAVTS students and programs?
Fair funding deserves an open discussion among all six sending districts.
