W. Va. Code R. § 126-207-7

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 126-207-7 - Computations of Required Funding

7.1. To determine the amount of funding to request for increased enrollment, the projected net enrollment for each public school district for which an increase in net enrollment is projected for the upcoming school year will be multiplied by the average state aid per pupil for that public school district for the latest year for which the data is available. In the case of charter public school districts, the average state aid per pupil will be calculated using a weighted average based on the school district in which each student physically resides. Average state aid per pupil for county boards of education is net of local share wherein average state aid per pupil for charter public schools does not include a local share adjustment.

7.1.a. In the initial year of operations, only those students not included in the October 1 certified enrollment count of a West Virginia public school district in the preceding year are to be included in the charter public school's increase in net enrollment computation for the school year.

7.2. To ensure that adequate funding is requested for increased enrollment, a modification factor will be determined using historical data to adjust the aggregate amount determined in the preceding steps.

7.3. The total amount determined from the computation outlined above will be the basis for the appropriation request for increased enrollment submitted by the State Superintendent to the West Virginia Legislature and the Governor, pursuant to the provisions of W. Va. Code § 11B-2-3.
