State School Fund distribution computations for school districts


The State School Fund distributions for school districts include the following grants:

(1)

General Purpose Grant = Funding Percentage ´ Target Grant ´ District extended ADMw. For the purpose of the calculation made under this subsection:

(a)

The funding percentage shall be calculated by the Superintendent of Public Instruction to distribute as nearly as practicable the total sum of money available for distribution.

(A)

Statewide Target per ADMw Grant = $4,500.

(B)

Teacher Experience Factor = $25 ´ {District average teacher experience − statewide average teacher experience}. As used in this subparagraph, “average teacher experience” means the average, in years, of teaching experience of licensed teachers as reported to the Department of Education.

(c)

District extended ADMw = ADMw or ADMw of the prior year, whichever is greater. The calculation of the district extended ADMw must be made as provided by ORS 338.155 (Distributions of State School Fund amounts) if a public charter school is located in the school district. For the purpose of this paragraph:

Children with disabilities eligible for special education in adult local correctional facilities, as defined in ORS 169.005 (Definitions for ORS 169.005 to 169.685 and 169.730 to 169.800), or adult regional correctional facilities, as defined in ORS 169.620 (“Regional correctional facility” defined), may not be included in the calculation made under this sub-subparagraph.
(ii)
0.5 for each student in average daily membership eligible for and enrolled in an English language learner program under ORS 336.079 (English language learners).
(iii)
0.2 for each student in average daily membership enrolled in a union high school district or in an area of a unified school district where the district is only responsible for educating students in grades 9 through 12 in that area.
(iv)
−0.1 for each student in average daily membership enrolled in an elementary district operating kindergarten through grade six or kindergarten through grade eight or in an area of a unified school district where the district is only responsible for educating students in kindergarten through grade eight.
(v)
0.25 times the sum of the following:

(I)

(II)

The number of children in foster homes in the district as determined by the report of the Department of Human Services to the United States Department of Education, “Annual Statistical Report on Children in Foster Homes and Children in Families Receiving AFDC Payments in Excess of the Poverty Income Level,” or its successor, for October 31 of the year prior to the year of distribution; and

(III)

The number of children in the district in state-recognized facilities for neglected and delinquent children, based on information from the Department of Human Services for October 31 of the year prior to the year of distribution.
(vi)
The amount determined under ORS 327.077 (Remote small elementary school and small high school determination) for each remote small elementary school and for each small high school in the district.

(B)

All numbers of children used for the computation in this paragraph must reflect any district consolidations that have occurred since the numbers were compiled.
