15-946. Transportation revenue control
limit

A. The transportation revenue control limit for each school district for the fiscal
years 1985-1986, 1986-1987 and 1987-1988 is computed as follows:

1. Determine the adopted operational expenditure budget for pupil transportation
for the fiscal year 1984-1985 effective January 1, 1985.

2. Determine the transportation revenue control limit for the school district for
the fiscal year 1984-1985 as provided in this section before April 18, 1985.

3. If the school district's transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal
year 1984-1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection is equal to or greater than
the amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection, the transportation revenue
control limit for the fiscal year 1985-1986 is the change in the transportation support
level from the fiscal year 1984-1985 to the fiscal year 1985-1986 plus the transportation
revenue control limit for the fiscal year 1984-1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this
subsection. For the fiscal years 1986-1987 and 1987-1988 the transportation revenue
control limit is the transportation revenue control limit for the current year plus the
change in the transportation support level for the current year to the budget year.

4. If the school district's transportation revenue control limit for the fiscal
year 1984-1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection is less than the amount
determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection, the transportation revenue control limit
for the fiscal year 1985-1986 is the sum of the following:

(a) The transportation revenue control limit for the school district for the fiscal
year 1984-1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection.

(b) The change in the transportation support level from the fiscal year 1984-1985
to the fiscal year 1985-1986.

(c) One-third of the amount obtained by subtracting the transportation revenue
control limit for fiscal year 1984-1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection
from the amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection.

5. If the transportation revenue control limit of the school district for the
fiscal year 1984-1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection is less than the
amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection, the transportation revenue control
limit for the fiscal years 1986-1987 and 1987-1988 is the sum of the following:

(a) The transportation revenue control limit for the current year.

(b) The change in the transportation support level from the current year to the
budget year.

(c) One-third of the amount obtained by subtracting the transportation revenue
control limit for the fiscal year 1984-1985 as provided in paragraph 2 of this subsection
from the amount determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection.

B. The transportation revenue control limit for each school district for the fiscal
year 1988-1989 and each year thereafter shall be the transportation revenue control limit
for the current year plus the increase in the transportation support level from the
current year to the budget year, except that for fiscal year 2006-2007 and for each
fiscal year thereafter, the transportation revenue control limit shall not increase if
the transportation revenue control limit is more than one hundred twenty per cent of the
transportation support level. For a school district that sponsors a charter school, its
transportation revenue control limit for the budget year shall be calculated as follows:

1. Calculate separately, as prescribed by the department of education, the total
transportation support level for the current year for all charter schools under the
district's sponsorship in the current year.

2. Calculate separately, as prescribed by the department of education, the total
transportation support level for the budget year for all charter schools under the
district's sponsorship in the budget year.

3. Subtract the amount determined in paragraph 2 of this subsection from the amount
determined in paragraph 1 of this subsection. If the result is zero or less, use zero in
paragraph 4 of this subsection.

4. Subtract the amount determined in paragraph 3 of this subsection from the
district's transportation revenue control limit for the current year. This is the
adjusted transportation revenue control limit for the current year.

5. The transportation revenue control limit for the budget year is the adjusted
transportation revenue control limit for the current year determined in paragraph 4 of
this subsection plus the increase in the transportation support level from the current
year to the budget year.

C. Notwithstanding subsection B of this section, if the transportation support
level of a school district exceeds the transportation revenue control limit in any budget
year, the transportation revenue control limit shall be adjusted in that budget year and
every budget year thereafter to equal the transportation support level.
