The purpose of this section is to establish policies and procedures for the calculation and distribution of state incentive moneys to school districts and, if appropriate, public charter schools increasing their enrollments in vocational skills centers.

(1) As used in this section, the term "average annual full-time equivalent students" or AAFTE shall be defined as that term is defined in WAC 392-121-133(1).

(2) Enrollment used in this calculation shall be the AAFTE reported in the form and by the deadline required by the superintendent of public instruction.

(3) A district's or, if appropriate, charter school's state incentive grants for increased enrollment in vocational skills centers shall be calculated as follows:

(a) Determine the increase in the vocational skill center AAFTE of the resident district from the base year of 2004-05 to the current year;

(b) Multiply the number of students obtained in (a) of this subsection by the per pupil allocation established and subject to the limitations in the State Operating Appropriations Act in effect at the time the apportionment is due; and

(c) The product is the district's or charter school's annual incentive payment.

(4) As provided in the State Operating Appropriations Act in effect at the time apportionment is due, money appropriated but not spent in subsection (3) of this section shall be distributed to skills centers for increased capacity of summer vocational programs. The allocation methodology shall be based upon the skills center full-time equivalent reported enrollment from the prior October 1.

(5) The superintendent of public instruction shall apportion to districts and, if appropriate, charter schools for the state incentive grants for increased enrollment in vocational skills centers the amount calculated per district or charter school in this section in June of each year commencing June 2006.
