SF 440: Relating to the determination of school district enrollment for certain school districts following a disaster event and including effective date and applicability provisions

What it does

6(1) establishes the calculation of each school district’s actual enrollment, generally determined on October of each year. The determination of actual enrollment is then used in the subsequent school budget year as the school district’s basic enrollment and budget enrollment for funding calculations purposes. This bill provides that if, following a disaster event, all or a portion of the area comprising a school district is declared by the governor to be in a state of disaster emergency or for which a declaration of a major disaster has been made by the president of the United States, the school district’s most recent actual enrollment certified prior to the disaster event shall be used for each of the next two determinations of actual enrollment occurring after the disaster event if such subsequent determination is more than percent less than the school district’s most recent actual enrollment certified prior to the disaster event.
