79-1003.01. Summer school allowance; summer school student unit, defined; calculation.

(1) For school fiscal year 2008-09, the department shall calculate a summer school allowance for each district equal to two and one-half percent of the summer school student units for such district multiplied by eighty-five percent of the statewide average general fund operating expenditures per formula student. For purposes of this subsection, summer school student unit means one student enrolled in summer school in a school district, whether or not the student is in the membership of the school district, for (a) at least three hours but fewer than six hours per day and (b) at least twelve days but fewer than twenty-four days. Each school district shall receive a summer school student unit for each qualified time period for which a student is enrolled, up to six units per student per summer.

(2) For school fiscal year 2009-10 and each school fiscal year thereafter, the department shall calculate a summer school allowance for each district which submits the information required for the calculation on a form prescribed by the department on or before October 15 of the school fiscal year preceding the school fiscal year for which aid is being calculated. A summer school allowance shall be equal to two and one-half percent of the summer school student units for such district multiplied by eighty-five percent of the statewide average general fund operating expenditures per formula student. Summer school student units shall be calculated for each student enrolled in summer school in a school district who attends such summer school for at least twelve days, whether or not the student is in the membership of the school district. The initial number of units for each such student shall equal the sum of the ratios, each rounded down to the nearest whole number, of the number of days for which the student attended summer school classes in such district for at least three hours and less than six hours per day divided by twelve days and of two times the number of days for which the student attended summer school classes in such district for six or more hours per day divided by twelve days.

(3) Each school district shall receive an additional summer school student unit for each summer school student unit attributed to remedial math or reading programs. Each school district shall also receive an additional summer school student unit for each summer school student unit attributed to a free lunch and free milk student. This section does not prevent school districts from requiring and collecting fees for summer school, except that summer school student units shall not be calculated for school districts which collect fees for summer school from students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunches under United States Department of Agriculture child nutrition programs.
