Section 290-2-1-.02 - Annual Apportionment of Current Units

(1) Using the previous three years' ADM for the first 20 days following Labor Day, a projection shall be made for the next year's current units. Using the state average of foundation program cost per unit, an amount of state funds shall be set apart to fund earned current units as defined below.

(2) Using a local board's first 20 days following Labor Day ADM for the current year and the first 20 days following Labor Day ADM of the prior year, current units shall be calculated as follows: The ADM difference, current year less prior year, for each grade shall be divided by the applicable grade divisor. The total of this calculation over grades kindergarten through grade 12 will be the number of earned current units if the total is a positive number. The number of earned current units multiplied by the average foundation program cost per unit shall be the maximum current unit allotment for each local board earning current units. If the number of current units earned is greater than the number projected, the amount per unit will be prorated to allocate no more ETF funds than have been set aside. If the number of current units earned is less than the number projected, each unit will be allocated at the rate established in the projection. The balance will be distributed to all local boards on the same basis as other current expense in the cost calculations of the foundation program. After the first 20 days following Labor Day ADM is finalized and verified, the current unit allocation will be converted to a monthly allocation based on the number of months remaining in the fiscal year and the local board's monthly allocation will be approximately adjusted.

(3) Funds appropriated for current units may be used for start-up public charter schools of education as determined by the State Superintendent.

(4) The State Superintendent may exclude from a local board's ADM the ADM of students displaced as a result of a natural disaster.
