590590 the total average daily membership of the school district for the
591591 first nine (9) weeks of the school year.
592592 3. The weighted district calculation shall be determined by
593593 determining the calculations for each school district for both the
594594 small school district formula and the district sparsity - isolation
595595 formula, applying whichever is the greater of the calculations of
596596 the two formulas and then applying the restrictions pur suant to
597597 subparagraph c of this paragraph.
598598 a. Small school district formula : 529 minus the average
599599 daily membership divided by 529 times .2 time s total
600600 average daily membership.
601601 The small school district f ormula calculation shall app ly
602602 only to school districts whose highest average daily
603603 membership is less than 529 pupils . School districts which
604604 are consolidated or annexed after July 1, 2003, pur suant to
605605 the Oklahoma School Voluntary Consolidation and Anne xation
606606 Act shall have the we ighted district size c alculation for
607607 the three (3) school years following the fiscal year in
608608 which such consolidation occurred calculated to be the sum
609609 of the individual consolidated districts computed as if the
610610 consolidation had not taken place. Thereafter, any such
611611 district which is consolidated pursuant to the Oklahoma
612612 School Voluntary Consolidation and Annexation Act shall not

642642 resulting number shall be counted as additional students
643643 for the purpose of calculating State Aid.
644644 b. District sparsity - isolation formula:
645645 The district sparsity - isolation formula calculation shall
646646 apply only to school districts:
647647 (1) whose total area in square miles is greater than
648648 the average number of square miles for all school
649649 districts in this state; and
650650 (2) whose areal density is less than one -fourth (1/4)
651651 of the state average areal density. Areal
652652 density shall be determine d by dividing the
653653 school district's average daily membership by the
654654 school district's total area in square miles.
655655 The district sparsity - isolation formula calculation shall
656656 be calculated as follows:
657657 The school district student cost f actor multiplied by
658658 the school district area factor . The resulting
659659 product shall be multiplied by the school district 's
660660 average daily membership . Subject to the provisions
661661 of subparagraph c of this paragraph, the resulting
662662 number shall be counted as addi tional students for th e
663663 purpose of calculating State Aid.

694694 and applied to the a ppropriate formulas as computed
695695 below:
696696 Grade Level Group
697697 Grades K-5 Divide 74 by the sum of the Grade
698698 Level ADM plus 23,
699699 add .85 to the quotient, then
700700 multiply the sum by the Grade
701701 Level ADM.
702702 Grades 6-8 Divide 122 by the sum of the Grade
703703 Level ADM plus 133,
704704 add .85 to the quoti ent, then
705705 multiply the sum by the Grade
706706 Level ADM.
707707 Grades 9-12 Divide 292 by the sum of the Grade
708708 Level ADM plus 128,
709709 add .78 to the quotient, th en
710710 multiply the sum by the Grade
711711 Level ADM.

741741 be subtracted from the resulting quotient.
742742 The school district area cost factor shall be calculated as
743743 follows:
744744 Subtract the state average distri ct area from the
745745 district area, then divide the remainder by the state
746746 average district area;
747747 however, the district area cost factor shall not exceed one
748748 (1.0).
749749 The State Board of Education shall define geog raphical barriers
750750 whose location in a school dist rict would inhibit the district from
751751 consolidation or annexation . The Board shall make available an
752752 application process, review applications, and for districts the
753753 Board deems necessary allow additional squ are miles to be used for
754754 the purposes of calculat ions used for the weig hted district sparsity
755755 - isolation formula. Provided, that the additional square miles
756756 allowed for geographical barriers shall not exceed thirty percent
757757 (30%) of the district 's actual size.
758758 c. State Aid funds which a district is calc ulated to
759759 receive as a result of the weighted district
760760 calculation shall be restricted as follows:
761761 If, after the weighted district calculation is
762762 applied, the district 's projected per pupil
763763 revenue exceeds one hundred fifty perc ent (150%)

793793 projected per pupil revenue to one hundr ed fifty
794794 percent (150%) of the project ed state average per
