Apportionment of state moneys for the state learning assistance program.
(1)(a) State learning assistance program moneys shall be allocated as provided in the state Operating Appropriations Act in effect at the time the apportionment is due.
(b) The superintendent of public instruction may withhold the monthly learning assistance program apportionment payment to a school district, charter school, or tribal compact school if the school district, charter school, or tribal compact school fails to submit its annual report for the prior school year to the superintendent of public instruction by the established due date. The first learning assistance program apportionment payment of the school year and subsequent allocations may be withheld until the annual reports are completed in approvable form.
(2) Learning assistance program moneys include a district learning assistance program base allocation and a learning assistance program high-poverty based school allocation for eligible schools.
(a) A school district's funded students for the learning assistance program base allocation shall be the sum of the district's annual average full-time equivalent enrollment in grades K-12 and transition to kindergarten program for the prior school year multiplied by the district's percentage of October comprehensive education data and research system (CEDARS) headcount enrollment in grades K-12 eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the prior school year. The prior school year's October headcount enrollment for free and reduced-price lunch shall be as reported in CEDARS as of March 31st of the prior school year.
(b)(i) A school is eligible for the learning assistance program high-poverty based school allocation if it is funded through the prototypical model and has at least 50 percent of its students eligible for free and reduced-price meals in the prior school year. The percentage is determined by the school's percentage of October CEDARS headcount enrollment in grades K-12 for free and reduced-price lunch as reported in CEDARS as of March 31st of the prior school year.
(ii) An eligible school's funded students for the learning assistance high-poverty based allocation shall be the sum of the school's annual average full-time enrollment in grades K-12 and transition to kindergarten program for the prior year.
