Arizona Revised Statutes § 15-943 Base Support Level

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:

  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 1.669 1.559 100-499 1.468 + [0.0005 x (500 1.398 + [0.0004 x (500 - student count)] - student count)] 500-599 1.268 + [0.002 x (600 1.268 + [0.0013 x (600 - student count)] - student count)] 

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

(a)

 Support Weighted Level Student Student  Grade  Base  Group A  Weight   Count  Count PSD 1.000 + 0.450 = 1.450 x    =    K-8 1.000 + 0.158 = 1.158 x    =    9-12 1.163 + 0.105 = 1.268 x    =    Subtotal A    

(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.
