Section 18-200.1 A. Beginning with the 2020 -21 school year,
and each school year thereafter, each scho ol district shall have its
initial allocation of State Aid calculated based on the state
dedicated revenues actually collected during the preceding fiscal
year, the adjusted assessed valuation of the preceding year and the
highest weighted average daily me mbership for the school district of
the two (2) preceding school years. Each school district shall
submit the following data based on the first nine (9) weeks, to be
used in the calculation of the average daily membership of the
school district:
1. Student enrollment by grade level;
2. Pupil category counts; and
3. Transportation supplement data.
On or before December 30, the State Department of Education
shall determine each school district's current year allocation
pursuant to subsection D of this sec tion. The State Department of
Education shall complete an audit, using procedures established by
the Department, of the student enrollment by grade level data, pupil
category counts and transportation supplement data to be used in the
State Aid Formula pu rsuant to subsection D of this section by
December 1 and by January 15 shall notify each school district of
the district's final State Aid allocation for the current school

State Aid allocation as calculated in subsection D of this section.
Except for reductions made due to the assessment of penalties by the
State Department of Education according to law, the January payment
of State Aid and each subsequent payment for the remainder of the
school year shall not decrease by an amount more than the amount
that the current chargeable revenue increases for that district.
B. The State Department of Education shall retain not less than
one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of the total funds appropriated
for financial support of schools, to be used to make midyear
adjustments in State Aid and which shall be reflected in the final
allocations. If the amount of appropriated funds, includ ing the one
and one-half percent (1 1/2%) retained, remaining after January 1 of
each year is not sufficient to fully fund the final allocations, the
Department shall recalculate each school district' s remaining
allocation pursuant to subsection D of this section using the
reduced amount of appropriated funds.
C. On and after July 1, 1997, the amount of State Aid each
district shall receive shall be the sum of the Foundation Aid, the
Salary Incentive Aid and the Transportation Supplement, as adjusted
pursuant to the provisions of subsection G of this section and
Section 18-112.2 of this title; provided, no district having per
pupil revenue in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the
average per pupil revenue of all districts shall receive any State

The July calculation of per pupil revenue shall be dete rmined by
dividing the district's second preceding year' s total weighted
average daily membership (ADM) into the district's second preceding
year's total revenues excluding federal revenue, insurance loss
payments, reimbursements, recovery of overpayments and refunds,
unused reserves, prior expenditures recovered, prior year surpluses,
and less the amount of any transfer fees paid in that year.
The December calculation of pe r pupil revenue shall be
determined by dividing the district's preceding year' s total
weighted average daily mem bership (ADM) into the district's
preceding year's total revenues excluding federal revenue, insurance
loss payments, reimbursements, recovery o f overpayments and refunds,
unused reserves, prior expenditures recovered, prior year surpluses,
and less the amount of any transfer fees paid in that year.
D. For the 1997-98 school year, and each school year

provisions of subsection A of Section 18 -201.1 of this
title and paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 of subsection B of
Section 18-201.1 of this title, multiplied by the Base
Foundation Support Level.

following:
(1) The adjusted assessed valuation of the current
school year of the school district, minus the
previous year protested ad valorem tax revenues
held as prescribed in Section 2884 of Title 68 of
the Oklahoma Statutes, multiplied by the mill s
levied pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 9 of
Article X of the Oklahoma Constitution, if

of each such revenue.
2. The Transportation Supplement shall be equal to the average
daily haul times the per capita allowance times the appropriate
transportation factor.
a. The average daily haul shall be the number of children
in a district who are legally tra nsported and who live
one and one-half (1 1/2) miles or more from school.
b. The per capita allowance shall be determined using the

State Aid Formula pursuant to subsection D of this section by
December 1 and by January 15 shall notify each school district of
the district's final State Aid alloca tion for the current school
year. The January payment of State Aid and each subsequent payment
for the remainder of the school year shall be based on the final
State Aid allocation as calculated in subsection D of this section.
Except for reductions made due to the assessment of penalties by the
State Department of Education according to law, the January payment
of State Aid and each subsequent payment for the remainder of the
school year shall not decrease by an amount more than the amount
that the current chargeable revenue increases for that district.
B. The State Department of Education shall retain not less than
one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of the total funds appropriated
for financial support of schools, to be used to make midyear
adjustments in State Aid and which shall be reflected in the final
allocations. If the amount of appropriated funds, including the one
and one-half percent (1 1/2%) retained, remaining after January 1 of
each year is not sufficient to fully fund the final allocations, the
Department shall recalculate each school district's remaining
allocation pursuant to subsection D of this section using the
reduced amount of appropriated funds.
C. On and after July 1, 1997, the amount of State Aid each
district shall receive shall be the sum of the Foundation Aid, the
Salary Incentive Aid and the Transportation Supplement, as adjusted

pursuant to the provisions of subsection G of this section and
Section 18-112.2 of this title; provided, no district having per
pupil revenue in exces s of three hundred percent (300%) of the
average per pupil revenue of all districts shall receive any State
Aid or Supplement in State Aid.
The July calculation of per pupil revenue shall be determined by
dividing the district's second preceding year's tot al weighted
average daily membership (ADM) into the district's preceding year's
total revenues excluding federal revenue, insurance loss payments,
reimbursements, recovery of overpayments and refunds, unused
reserves, prior expenditures recovered, prior ye ar surpluses, and
less the amount of any transfer fees paid in that year.
The December calculation of per pupil revenue shall be
determined by dividing the district's preceding year's total
weighted average daily membership (ADM) into the district's
preceding year's total revenues excluding federal revenue, insurance
loss payments, reimbursements, recovery of overpayments and refunds,
unused reserves, prior expenditures recovered, prior year surpluses,
and less the amount of any transfer fees paid in that y ear.

nine (9) weeks of the current s chool year or the
preceding school year of a school district, as
determined by the provisions of subsection A of
Section 18-201.1 of this title and paragraphs 1, 2, 3
and 4 of subsection B of Section 18 -201.1 of this
title, multiplied by the Base Foundatio n Support
Level. However, for the portion of weighted
membership derived from nonresident, transferred
pupils enrolled in online courses, the Foundation
Program shall be a district's weighted average daily
membership of the preceding school year or the fi rst
nine (9) weeks of the current school year, whichever
is greater, as determined by the provisions of
subsection A of Section 18 -201.1 of this title and
paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 of subsection B of Section

the State Board of Equalization, the school district's State Aid,
for the school year that such ad valorem taxes are calculated in the
State Aid Formula, shall be determined by subtracting the net
assessed valuation of the property upon which taxes were deemed
uncollectible from the assessed valuation of the school district and
the state. Upon request of the local board of education, it shall
be the duty of the county assessor to certify to the Director of
Finance of the State Department of Education the net assessed
valuation of the property upon which taxes were determined
uncollectible.
2. In the event that the amount of funds a s chool district
receives for reimbursement from the Ad Valorem Reimbursement Fund is
less than the amount of funds claimed for reimbursement by the
school district due to insufficiency of funds as provided in Section
193 of Title 62 of the Oklahoma Statutes , then the school district's
assessed valuation for the school year that such ad valorem
reimbursement is calculated in the State Aid Formula shall be
adjusted accordingly.
G. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18 -112.2 of
this title, a school district shall have its State Aid reduced by an
amount equal to the amount of carryover in the general fund of the

Section 18-201.1 A. Beginning with the 2020 -21 school year,
and each school year thereafter, the weighted membership of a school
district for calculation of Foundation Aid purposes pursuan t to
paragraph 1 of subsection D of Section 18 -200.1 of this title shall
be the sum of the weighted pupil grade level calculation, the
weighted pupil category calculation, the weighted district
calculation and the weighted teacher experience and degree
calculation. The weighted membership of a school district for
calculation of Salary Incentive Aid purposes pursuant to paragraph 3
of subsection D of Section 18 -200.1 of this title shall be the sum
of the weighted pupil grade level calculation, the weighted pupil
category calculation, the weighted district calculation and the
weighted teacher experience and degree calculation.
B. Beginning with the 2022 -2023 school year, the weighted
calculations provided for in subsection A of this section shall be
based on the higher weighted average daily membership of the first
nine (9) weeks of the current school year or the preceding school
year of a school district, unless otherwise specified. The higher
of the two (2) weighted average daily memberships shall be used
consistently in all of the calculations; however, the weighted
calculation for a statewide virtual charter school experiencing a
significant decline in membership shall be based on the first nine
(9) weeks of the current school year for the statewide virtu al
charter school. For purposes of this subsection, "significant

the State Aid Formula. The weighted calculations provid ed for in
subsection A of this section shall be determined as follows:
1. The weighted pupil grade level calculation shall be
determined by taking the highest average daily membership and
assigning weights to the pupils according to grade attended as
follows:
GRADE LEVEL WEIGHT
a. Half-day early childhood programs .7
b. Full-day early childhood programs 1.3
c. Half-day kindergarten 1.3
d. Full-day kindergarten 1.5
e. First and second grade 1.351
f. Third grade 1.051
g. Fourth through sixth grade 1.0
h. Seventh through twelfth grade 1.2
i. Out-of-home placement 1.50
Multiply the membership of each subparagraph of this paragraph by
the weight assigned to such subparagraph of this paragraph and add

the totals together to determine the weighted pupil grade leve l
calculation for a school district. Determination of the pupils
eligible for the early childhood program weight shall be pursuant to
the provisions of Section 1 -114 of this title. The pupils eligible
for the out-of-home placement pupil weight shall be s tudents who are
not residents of the school district in which they are receiving
education pursuant to the provisions of subsection D of Section 1 -
113 of this title. Such weight may be claimed by the district
providing educational services to such student for the days that
student is enrolled in that district. If claimed, the out -of-home
placement weight shall be in lieu of the pupil grade level and any
pupil category weights for that student. Provided, if a student
resides in a juvenile detention center that is restricted to less
than twelve (12) beds, the out -of-home placement pupil weight for
such students shall be calculated as follows: for a center with six
(6) beds - 3.0; for a center with eight (8) beds - 2.3 and for a
center with ten (10) beds - 1.80.
2. The weighted pupil category calculation shall be determined
by assigning a weight to the pupil category as follows:
CATEGORY WEIGHT
a. Visual Impairment 3.8
b. Specific Learning Disability .4
c. Deafness or Hearing Impairment 2.9

Except as otherwise provided, multiply the number of pupils approved
in the school year with the highest average daily membership in each
category by the weight assigned to such category and add the totals
together to determine the weighted pupil category calculation for a
school district. For the 1997 -98 school year and subsequent school
years, the number to be multiplied by the weight assigned to the
gifted category in subparagraph g of this paragraph shall be the
lesser of (1) the sum of the number of students who scored in the

top three percent (3%) on any national standardized t est of
intellectual ability plus the number of students identified as
gifted pursuant to subparagraphs a through d of paragraph 1 of
Section 1210.301 of this title, or (2) the sum of the number of
students who scored in the top three percent (3%) on any na tional
standardized test of intellectual ability plus eight percent (8%) of
the total average daily membership of the school district for the
first nine (9) weeks of the school year.
3. The weighted district calculation shall be determined by
determining the calculations for each school district for both the
small school district formula and the district sparsity - isolation
formula, applying whichever is the greater of the calculations of
the two formulas and then applying the restrictions pursuant to
subparagraph c of this paragraph.
a. Small school district formula: 529 minus the average
daily membership divided by 529 times .2 times total
average daily membership.
The small school district formula calculation shall apply
only to school districts whose highest average daily
membership is less than 529 pupils. School districts which
are consolidated or annexed after July 1, 2003, pursuant to
the Oklahoma School Voluntary Consolidation and Annexation
Act shall have the weighted district size calculation f or
the three (3) school years following the fiscal year in

which such consolidation occurred calculated to be the sum
of the individual consolidated districts computed as if the
consolidation had not taken place. Thereafter, any such
district which is con solidated pursuant to the Oklahoma
School Voluntary Consolidation and Annexation Act shall not
qualify for the weighted district calculation unless the
district can satisfy the specifications herein. Subject to
the provisions of subparagraph c of this par agraph, the
resulting number shall be counted as additional students
for the purpose of calculating State Aid.
b. District sparsity - isolation formula:
The district sparsity - isolation formula calculation shall
apply only to school districts:
(1) whose total area in square miles is greater than
the average number of square miles for all school
districts in this state; and
(2) whose areal density is less than one -fourth (1/4)
of the state average areal density. Areal
density shall be determined by dividin g the
school district's average daily membership by the
school district's total area in square miles.
The district sparsity - isolation formula calculation shall
be calculated as follows:

The school district student cost factor multiplied by
the school district area factor. The resulting
product shall be multiplied by the school district's
average daily membership. Subject to the provisions
of subparagraph c of this paragraph, the resulting
number shall be counted as additional students for the
purpose of calculating State Aid.
The school district student cost factor shall be calculated
as follows:
The school district's average daily membership shall
be categorized into the following grade level groups
and applied to the appropriate formulas as computed
below:
Grade Level Group
Grades K-5 Divide 74 by the sum of the Grade
Level ADM plus 23,
add .85 to the quotient, then
multiply the sum by the Grade
Level ADM.
Grades 6-8 Divide 122 by the sum of the Grade
Level ADM plus 133,
add .85 to the quotient, then
multiply the sum by the Grade
Level ADM.

add .78 to the quotient, then
multiply the sum by the Grade
Level ADM.
The sum of the grade level group's average daily
membership shall be divided by the school district's
average daily membership. The number one (1.0) shall
be subtracted from the resulting quotient.
The school district area cost factor shall be calculated as
follows:
Subtract the state average district area from the
district area, then divide the remainder by the state
average district area;
however, the district area cost factor shall not exceed one
(1.0).
The State Board of Education shall define geographical barriers
whose location in a school district would inhibit the district fr om
consolidation or annexation. The Board shall make available an
application process, review applications, and for districts the
Board deems necessary allow additional square miles to be used for
the purposes of calculations used for the weighted distric t sparsity
- isolation formula. Provided, that the additional square miles

allowed for geographical barriers shall not exceed thirty percent
(30%) of the district's actual size.
c. State Aid funds which a district is calculated to
receive as a result of t he weighted district
calculation shall be restricted as follows:
If, after the weighted district calculation is
applied, the district's projected per pupil
revenue exceeds one hundred fifty percent (150%)
of the projected state average per pupil revenue,
then the district's State Aid shall be reduced by
an amount that will restrict the district's
projected per pupil revenue to one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the projected state average per
pupil revenue. Provided, in applying the
restriction provided i n this division, the
district's State Aid shall not be reduced by an
amount greater than by the amount of State Aid
which was generated by the weighted district
calculation.
The July calculation of the projected per pupil
revenue shall be determined by div iding the district's
preceding year's average daily membership (ADM) as
weighted by the pupil grade level, the pupil category,
the district and the teacher experience degree index

county revenues excluding the county four -mills
revenues for the second preceding year, other state
appropriations for the preceding year and the
collections for the preceding year of state
apportionment, motor vehicle revenue, gross production
tax and R.E.A. tax.
The December calculation of the projected per pupil
revenue shall be determined by dividing the higher of
the district's first nine (9) weeks of the current
school year or the preceding school year's average
daily membership (ADM) as weighted by the pupil grade
level, the pupil category, the district and the
teacher experience degree index calculations for
projected State Aid into the district's projected
total revenues including funds for the December
calculation of the current year State Aid Formula, net
assessed valuation for the current calendar year times

The district's projected total revenues for each
calculation shall exclude the following collections
for the second preceding year: federal revenue,
insurance loss payments, reimbursements, recovery of
overpayments and refunds, unused reserves, prior
expenditures recovered, prior year surpluses, and
other local miscellaneous revenues.
4. The weighted teacher experience and degree calculation shall
be determined in accordance with the teacher experience and degree
index. The State Department of Education s hall determine an index
for each state teacher by using data supplied in the school
district's teacher personnel reports of the preceding year and
utilizing the index as follows:
TEACHER EXPERIENCE - DEGREE INDEX
EXPERIENCE BACHELOR'S MASTER'S DOCTOR'S

The school district teacher index for each school district shall
be determined by subtracting the weighted average state teacher from
the weighted average district teacher. Multiply the school district
teacher index if greater than zero by .7 and then multiply that
product by the sum of the district's weighted pupil grade level
calculation provided in paragraph 1 of this subsection and t he
weighted pupil category calculation provided in subparagraph m of
paragraph 2 of this subsection to determine the weighted teacher
experience and degree calculation.
