2011 Idaho Code
TITLE 33 EDUCATION
CHAPTER 10 FOUNDATION PROGRAM -- STATE AID -- APPORTIONMENT
33-1020 IDAHO DIGITAL LEARNING ACADEMY FUNDING.

Idaho digital learning academy funding. Of the moneys appropriated for the educational support program, an amount shall be distributed to support the Idaho digital learning academy, created pursuant to chapter 55, title 33, Idaho Code. For the purposes of this section, an "enrollment" shall be counted each time an Idaho school age child enrolls in an Idaho digital learning academy class. A single child enrolled in multiple classes shall count as multiple enrollments. Summer enrollments shall be included in the fiscal year that begins that summer. The amount distributed shall be calculated as follows:

(1) A fixed base amount shall be distributed, equal to the current fiscal year's statewide average salary-based apportionment funding per midterm support unit, multiplied by seven (7).

(2) A variable base amount shall be distributed each time the number of enrollments meets or exceeds an increment of five thousand (5,000). The amount so distributed shall be equal to the number of such increments, multiplied by the current fiscal year's statewide average salary-based apportionment funding per midterm support unit, multiplied by four and thirty-three hundredths (4.33).

(3) A variable amount shall be distributed, equal to the number of enrollments multiplied by the current fiscal year's statewide average salary-based apportionment funding per midterm support unit, divided by one hundred forty-three (143). This subsection shall be null and void and of no force and effect on and after July 1, 2012.

(4) If the revenue received by the Idaho digital learning academy pursuant to this section, section 33-1002A, Idaho Code, and any contracts with school districts or public charter schools, is less than $3,500,000 in fiscal year 2013 or fiscal year 2014, then the moneys distributed to the Idaho digital learning academy pursuant to this section shall be increased by the amount necessary to ensure that the total dollars received by the Idaho digital learning academy from all such sources is equal to $3,500,000 for each of the stated fiscal years.

The state department of education shall make an estimated distribution of funds to the Idaho digital learning academy by no later than July 31 of each fiscal year, consisting of eighty percent (80%) of the estimated funding for the fiscal year. The balance of all remaining funds to be distributed, pursuant to the calculations in this section, shall be distributed by no later than May 15 of the same fiscal year.
