141141 calculation. The weighted membership of a school district for
142142 calculation of Salary Incentive Aid purposes pursuant to paragraph 3
143143 of subsection D of Section 18 -200.1 of this title shall be the sum
144144 of the weighted pupil grade level calculation, t he weighted pupil
145145 category calculation, the weighted district calculation and the
146146 weighted teacher experience and degree calculation.
147147 B. The weighted calculations provided for in subsection A of
148148 this section shall be based on the highest weighted average daily
149149 membership of the first nine (9) weeks of the current school year,
150150 the preceding school year or the second preceding school year of a
151151 school district, unless otherwise specified. The highest of the
152152 three (3) weighted average daily memberships shall be used
153153 consistently in all of the calculations; however, the weighted
154154 calculation for a statewide virtual charter school experiencing a
155155 significant decline in membership sh all be based on the first nine
156156 (9) weeks of the current school year and not on the preceding school
157157 year or the second preceding school year for the statewide virtual
158158 charter school. For purposes of this subsection, “significant
159159 decline in membership ” means equal to or greater than a fifteen
160160 percent (15%) decrease in average daily membe rship from the
161161 preceding school year to the average daily membership of the first
162162 nine (9) weeks of the current school year. The average daily
163163 membership data used for all calculations in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 an d
164164 4 of this subsection shall be the same as us ed in the calculation of

217217 subsection A of this section shall be determined as follows:
218218 1. The weighted pupi l grade level calculation shall be
219219 determined by taking the highest average daily m embership and
220220 assigning weights to the pupils according to grade attended as
221221 follows:
222222 GRADE LEVEL WEIGHT
223223 a. Half-day early childhood programs .7

231231 i. Out-of-home placement 1.50
232232 Multiply the membership of each subparagraph of this paragraph by
233233 the weight assigned to such subparagraph of this paragraph and add
234234 the totals together to determine the weighted pupil grade level
235235 calculation for a school district. Determination of the pupils
236236 eligible for the early chi ldhood program weight shall be pursua nt to
237237 the provisions of Section 1 -114 of this title. The pupils eligible
238238 for the out-of-home placement pupil weight shall be students who are
239239 not residents of the school district in which they are receiving

293293 providing educational services to such student for the days that
294294 student is enrolled in that district. If claimed, the out -of-home
295295 placement weight shall be in lieu of the pu pil grade level and any
296296 pupil category weights for that student. Provided, if a student
297297 resides in a juvenile detention center that is restricted to less
298298 than twelve (12) beds, the out -of-home placement pupil weight fo r
299299 such students shall be calculated a s follows: for a center with six

519519 Act shall have the weighted district size calculat ion for

591591 school district’s average daily membership by the
592592 school district’s total area in square miles.
593593 The district sparsity - isolation formula calculation shall
594594 be calculated as follows:
595595 The school district student cost factor multiplied by
596596 the school district area factor. The resulting
597597 product shall be multiplied by the school district ’s
598598 average daily membership. Subject to the provisions
599599 of subparagraph c of this pa ragraph, the resulting
600600 number shall be counted as additional students for the
601601 purpose of calculating State Aid.
602602 The school district student cost factor shall be calculated
603603 as follows:
604604 The school district’s average daily membership shall
605605 be categorized into the following grade level groups
606606 and applied to the appropriate formulas as comput ed
607607 below:
608608 Grade Level Group
609609 Grades K-5 Divide 74 by the sum of the Grade

743743 - isolation formula. Provided, that the additional square miles
744744 allowed for geographical barriers shall not exceed thirty percent

748748 calculation shall be restricted as follows:
749749 If, after the weighted district calculation is

752752 of the projected state average per pupil reven ue,
753753 then the district’s State Aid shall be reduced by

756756 percent (150%) of the proj ected state average per
