Section 79-1007.03
School fiscal year 2008-09 and subsequent fiscal years; adjusted formula students for local system; calculation.

For state aid calculated for school fiscal year 2008-09 and each school fiscal year thereafter:

(1) The adjusted formula students for each school district shall be calculated by:

(a) Multiplying the formula students in each grade range by the corresponding weighting factors to calculate the weighted formula students for each grade range as follows:

(i) The weighting factor for early childhood education programs is six-tenths;

(ii) The weighting factor for kindergarten is five-tenths;

(iii) The weighting factor for grades one through six, including full-day kindergarten, is one;

(iv) The weighting factor for grades seven and eight is one and two-tenths; and

(v) The weighting factor for grades nine through twelve is one and four-tenths;

(b) Adding the weighted formula students for each grade range to calculate the weighted formula students for the local system; and

(c) Adjusting the weighted formula students by adding the following demographic factors:

(i) The Indian-land factor shall equal 0.25 times the average daily attendance of students who reside on Indian land as reported by the United States Department of Education in calculating the local system's payment pursuant to 20 U.S.C. 7701 et seq., as such sections existed on January 1, 2006; and

(ii) The extreme remoteness factor shall equal 0.125 times the formula students in the school district for each school district that has fewer than two hundred formula students, more than six hundred square miles in the school district, less than three-tenths formula student per square mile in the local system, and more than twenty-five miles between the high school attendance center and the next closest high school attendance center on paved roads; and

(2) The total adjusted formula students for each school district shall equal the weighted formula students plus the demographic factors, except that (a) for school districts qualifying for the extreme remoteness factor, the total adjusted formula students shall be greater than or equal to one hundred fifty adjusted formula students, (b) the total adjusted formula students for a school district shall not include the extreme remoteness factor or any adjustment to the adjusted formula students resulting from qualification for the extreme remoteness factor for the calculation of the average formula cost per student in each cost grouping pursuant to section 79-1007.02, and (c) the total adjusted formula students for a school district shall include the extreme remoteness factor and any adjustment to the adjusted formula students resulting from qualification for the extreme remoteness factor for the calculation of the school district’s formula need pursuant to section 79-1007.02.
