categories defined by the Ohio Department of Education:
Category 1: $4,992 in FY 2016 and $5,192 in Fiscal Year 2017
Category 2: $4,732 in FY 2016 and $4,921 in Fiscal Year 2017

The career tech programs also receive $236 per student in FY 2016 and
$245 in FY 2017 for career-technical education associated services, as
defined by the department of education.
The amounts are subject to the state share index (except for joint
vocational school districts [JVSDs], which use the state share
percentage).
JVSDs receive an opportunity grant which is calculated by multiplying
the formula ADM times the formula amount and then subtracting 0.0005
times the three-year average property valuation. The above category
amounts and associated services funding are then added to the
opportunity grants.
