15-943. Base support level


The base support level for each school district shall be computed as
follows:


1. The following support level weights shall be used in paragraph 2, subdivision
(a) of this section for the following school districts:


(a) For school districts whose student count in kindergarten programs and grades
one through eight is classified in column 1 of this subdivision, the support level weight
for kindergarten programs and grades one through eight is the corresponding support level
weight prescribed in column 2 or 3 of this subdivision, whichever is appropriate:



Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Support Level Weight Support Level Weight
For Small Isolated For Small
Student Count School Districts School Districts
1-99 1.559 1.399
100-499 1.358 + [0.0005 x (500 1.278 + [0.0003 x (500
- student count)] - student count)]
500-599 1.158 + [0.002 x (600 1.158 + [0.0012 x (600
- student count)] - student count)]

(b) For school districts whose student count in grades nine through twelve is
classified in column 1 of this subdivision, the support level weight for grades nine
through twelve is the corresponding support level weight prescribed in column 2 or 3 of
this subdivision, whichever is appropriate:

2. Subject to paragraph 1 of this section, determine the weighted student count as
follows:


(a)

PSD 1.000 + 0.450 = 1.450 x =
K-8 1.000 + 0.158 = 1.158 x =

(c) Total of subtotals A and B:

3. Multiply the total determined in paragraph 2 of this section by the base level.


4. Multiply the teacher experience index of the district or 1.00, whichever is
greater, by the product obtained in paragraph 3 of this section.


5. Add the amount determined in section 15-910.04.
