Section 10-262h - Equalization aid grant calculations.

(a) Each town maintaining public schools according to law shall be entitled to an equalization aid grant as follows:

(1) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1990, a grant in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the town’s base aid and (B) twenty-one and one-half per cent of the difference between the town’s target grant and its base aid;

(2) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1991, a grant in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the town’s base aid and (B) forty-five per cent of the difference between the town’s target grant and its base aid;

(3) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1992, a grant in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the town’s base aid plus seventy-one per cent of the difference between the town’s target grant aid and its base aid and (B) for towns whose minimum aid or enhancement aid, whichever is applicable, is more than the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) of this subdivision, a percentage, determined pursuant to subparagraph (C) of this subdivision, of the difference between such minimum aid or enhancement aid, whichever is applicable, and the amount determined pursuant to said subparagraph (A). (C) Such percentage shall be determined as follows: (i) Towns whose minimum aid or enhancement aid, whichever is applicable, is more than the amount determined pursuant to said subparagraph (A) shall be ranked in descending order based on the average of the grant mastery percentage of such town, as defined in subdivision (8) of section 10-262f, for the school year prior to the school year in which the grant is to be paid and the ratio of the number of children in such town under the aid to families with dependent children program, as defined in subdivision (14) of said section, to the resident students of such town, as defined in subdivision (19) of said section, for the school year two years prior to the fiscal year in which the grant is to be paid, (ii) based upon such ranking, a percentage of not more than eighty and not less than thirty-eight and two-tenths shall be determined for each town on a continuous scale, except that the percentage for minimum aid towns shall be twenty-five per cent;

(4) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1993, a grant in the amount equal to the sum of (A) the product of the town’s aid ratio, the foundation level and the town’s total need students for the prior school year, and (B) the town’s regional bonus, and (C) for any town whose grant is less than the grant it received in the previous fiscal year, the product of such difference and the sum of such town’s grant mastery percentage, as defined in subdivision (8) of section 10-262f, for the school year prior to the school year in which the grant is to be paid and the ratio of the number of children in such town under the aid to families with dependent children program, as defined in subdivision (14) of said section 10-262f, to the resident students of such town, as defined in subdivision (19) of said section 10-262f, for the school year two years prior to the fiscal year in which the grant is to be paid, except such sum shall be adjusted to the greater amount as follows: (i) If such sum is forty or more it shall be multiplied by two, (ii) for towns whose rank when all towns are ranked in ascending order from one to one hundred sixty-nine based on equalized mill rate is greater than eighty-five, such sum shall be fifty and (iii) for towns which received payments pursuant to section 32-9s, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1992, such sum shall be fifty, and (D) provided no town shall receive a grant greater than one hundred four and thirty-five hundredths per cent of its previous year’s grant;

(5) For the fiscal years ending June 30, 1994, and June 30, 1995, a grant in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the product of the town’s aid ratio, the foundation level and the town’s total need students for the prior fiscal year, and (B) the town’s regional bonus, except that no town shall receive a grant smaller than the grant it received in the previous fiscal year;

(6) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996, and each fiscal year thereafter, a grant in an amount equal to the sum of any amounts paid to the town pursuant to subdivision (1) of subsection (d) of section 10-66ee, and the amount of its target aid as described in subdivision (32) of section 10-262f except that such amount of target aid shall be capped in accordance with the following: (A) For the fiscal years ending June 30, 1996, June 30, 1997, June 30, 1998, and June 30, 1999, for each town, the maximum percentage increase over its previous year’s base revenue shall be the product of five per cent and the ratio of the wealth of the town ranked one hundred fifty-third when all towns are ranked in descending order to each town’s wealth, provided no town shall receive an increase greater than five per cent. (B) For the fiscal years ending June 30, 2000, June 30, 2001, June 30, 2002, June 30, 2003, and June 30, 2004, for each town, the maximum percentage increase over its previous year’s base revenue shall be the product of six per cent and the ratio of the wealth of the town ranked one hundred fifty-third when all towns are ranked in descending order to each town’s wealth, provided no town shall receive an increase greater than six per cent. (C) No such cap shall be used for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005, or any fiscal year thereafter.

The density supplement shall be determined by multiplying the density aid ratio of the town by the foundation level and the town’s total need students for the prior fiscal year provided, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000, and each fiscal year thereafter, no town’s density supplement shall be less than the density supplement such town received for the prior fiscal year.

(L) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000, and each fiscal year thereafter, no town whose school district is a transitional school district shall receive a grant pursuant to this subdivision in an amount that is less than forty per cent of the sum of (i) the product of a town’s base aid ratio, the foundation level and the town’s total need students for the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the grant is to be paid, (ii) the product of a town’s supplemental aid ratio, the foundation level and the sum of the portion of its total need students count described in subparagraphs (B) and (C) of subdivision (25) of section 10-262f for the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the grant is to be paid, and the adjustments to its resident student count described in subdivision (22) of said section 10-262f relative to length of school year and summer school sessions, and (iii) the town’s regional bonus.
