NEW SECTION
WAC 392-121-465
Formula for and distribution of state
moneys for the state incentive grants for increased enrollment
in vocational skills centers program.
The purpose of this
section is to establish policies and procedures for the
calculation and distribution of state incentive moneys to
school districts 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 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 annual incentive payment.
(4) The superintendent of public instruction shall apportion to districts for the state incentive grants for increased enrollment in vocational skills centers the amount calculated per district in this section in June of each year commencing June 2006.
