Yes, any school can be included in a group as long as the group as a whole meets the 40% threshold. It is important to note that if a school drops out mid-year and the Local Education Agency (LEA) no longer meets the required 40% ISP threshold, the LEA is not eligible to participate on an LEA-wide basis. That said, the LEA can have individual schools or groups of schools within the LEA participate, according to the United Stated Department of Agriculture (USDA). Since this would then be considered a "new group", it means that a new ISP would be calculated.

Data can be entered in prior to or after April 1st, but must be representative of April 1st identified students and student enrollment.
