 1    (D)  for any district to which the provisions of section 2, and amend-
 2  ments thereto, applied in the 1997-98 school year and to which the pro-
 3  visions of section 2, and amendments thereto, do not apply in the current

 5  crease in the amount budgeted by the district in its local option budget
 6  as authorized by a resolution adopted under the provisions of subsection
 7    (b) causes the actual amount per pupil budgeted by the district in the
 8  preceding school year as determined for the district under provision (1)
 9  of subsection (a) of section 2, and amendments thereto, to equal or exceed
10  the average amount per pupil of general fund budgets and local option

18  crease its local option budget specified a definite period of time for which
19  the district would retain its authority to increase the local option budget
20  and such authority lapses at the conclusion of such period and is not

22  is equal to the percentage of the amount of state financial aid the district
23  was authorized to budget in the preceding school year less the percentage
24  of increase that was authorized by the resolution unless the loss of the
25  percentage of increase that was authorized by the resolution would cause
26  the actual amount per pupil budgeted by the district to be less than the
27  average amount per pupil of general fund budgets and local option budg-
28  ets computed by the state board under whichever of the provisions (7)
29  through (10) of subsection (a) of section 2, and amendments thereto, is

31  trict prescribed percentage means a percentage that is equal to the per-
32  centage of the amount of state financial aid the district was authorized to
33  budget in the preceding school year less the percentage of increase that
34  was authorized by the resolution plus a percentage which shall be com-
35  puted for the district by the state board in accordance with the provisions
36  of section 2, and amendments thereto, except that, in making the deter-
37  mination of the actual amount per pupil budgeted by the district in the
38  preceding school year, the state board shall exclude the percentage of
39  increase that was authorized by the resolution.
40    (2)  The adoption of a local option budget under authority of this sub-
41  section shall require a majority vote of the members of the board and shall
42  require no other procedure, authorization or approval.

33  year of the general fund budget and the local option budget, if any, of
34  each district;
35    (2)  compute the average amount per pupil for the preceding school
36  year of general fund budgets and local option budgets of districts with
37  75-125 enrollment in such school year;
38    (3)  compute the average amount per pupil for the preceding school
39  year of general fund budgets and local option budgets of districts with
40  200-399 enrollment in such school year;
41    (4)  compute the average amount per pupil for the preceding school
42  year of general fund budgets and local option budgets of districts with
43  1,800 or over enrollment in such school year;

 1    (5)  compute an average amount per pupil for the preceding school
 2  year of general fund budgets and local option budgets of districts with
 3  100-299.9 enrollment in such school year by preparing a schedule based
 4  upon an accepted mathematical formula and deriving an amount for each
 5  such district from a linear transition between the average amount per
 6  pupil computed under (2) and the average amount per pupil computed
 7  under (3);
 8    (6)  compute an average amount per pupil for the preceding school
 9  year of general fund budgets and local option budgets of districts with
10  300-1,799.9 enrollment in such school year by preparing a schedule based
11  upon an accepted mathematical formula and deriving an amount for each
12  such district from a linear transition between the average amount per
13  pupil computed under (3) and the average amount per pupil computed
14  under (4);
15    (7)  for districts with 0-99.9 enrollment, compare the amount deter-
16  mined for the district under (1) to the average amount computed under
17    (2). If the amount determined under (1) is equal to or greater than the
18  average amount computed under (2), the provisions of this section do not
19  apply to the district. If the amount determined under (1) is less than the
20  average amount computed under (2), subtract the amount determined
21  under (1) from the amount computed under (2), multiply the remainder
22  by enrollment of the district in the preceding school year, and divide the
23  product by the amount of state financial aid determined for the district
24  in the preceding school year. The quotient is the district prescribed per-
25  centage of the district;
26    (8)  for districts with 100-299.9 enrollment, compare the amount de-
27  termined for the district under (1) to the average amount computed under
28    (5). If the amount determined under (1) is equal to or greater than the
29  average amount computed under (5), the provisions of this section do not
30  apply to the district. If the amount determined under (1) is less than the
31  average amount computed under (5), subtract the amount determined
32  under (1) from the amount computed under (5), multiply the remainder
33  by enrollment of the district in the preceding school year, and divide the
34  product by the amount of state financial aid determined for the district
35  in the preceding school year. The quotient is the district prescribed per-
36  centage of the district;
37    (9)  for districts with 300-1,799.9 enrollment, compare the amount
38  determined for the district under (1) to the average amount computed
39  under (6). If the amount determined under (1) is equal to or greater than
40  the average amount computed under (6), the provisions of this section
41  do not apply to the district. If the amount determined under (1) is less
42  than the average amount computed under (6), subtract the amount de-
43  termined under (1) from the amount computed under (6), multiply the

 1  remainder by enrollment of the district in the preceding school year, and
 2  divide the product by the amount of state financial aid determined for
 3  the district in the preceding school year. The quotient is the district pre-
 4  scribed percentage of the district;
 5    (10)  for districts with 1,800 or over enrollment, compare the amount
 6  determined for the district under (1) to the average amount computed
 7  under (4). If the amount determined under (1) is equal to or greater than
 8  the average amount computed under (4), the provisions of this section
 9  do not apply to the district. If the amount determined under (1) is less
10  than the average amount computed under (4), subtract the amount de-
11  termined under (1) from the amount computed under (4), multiply the
12  remainder by enrollment of the district in the preceding school year, and
13  divide the product by the amount of state financial aid determined for
14  the district in the preceding school year. The quotient is the district pre-
15  scribed percentage of the district.
16    (b)  The provisions of this section apply to any district that budgeted
17  an amount per pupil in the preceding school year, as determined under
18  provision (1) of subsection (a), that was less than the average amount per
19  pupil of general fund budgets and local option budgets computed by the
20  state board under whichever of the provisions (7) through (10) of sub-
21  section (a) is applicable to the districts enrollment group.
22    [Sec. 3.  K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 72-6410, as amended by section 2
23  of 1997 House Bill No. 2031, is hereby amended to read as follows:
24  72-6410. (a) ``State financial aid'' means an amount equal to the
25  product obtained by multiplying base state aid per pupil by the
26  adjusted enrollment of a district.
27    [(b)  ``Base state aid per pupil'' means an amount of state finan-
28  cial aid per pupil. Subject to the other provisions of this subsection,
29  the amount of base state aid per pupil is $3,670. The amount of
30  base state aid per pupil is subject to reduction commensurate with
31  any reduction under K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 75-6704, and amendments
32  thereto, in the amount of the appropriation from the state general
33  fund for general state aid. If the amount of appropriations for gen-
34  eral state aid is insufficient to pay in full the amount each district
35  is entitled to receive for any school year, the amount of base state
36  aid per pupil for such school year is subject to reduction commen-
37  surate with the amount of the insufficiency.
38    [(c)  ``Local effort'' means the sum of an amount equal to the
39  proceeds from the tax levied under authority of K.S.A. 72-6431,
40  and amendments thereto, and an amount equal to any unexpended
41  and unencumbered balance remaining in the general fund of the
42  district, except amounts received by the district and authorized to
43  be expended for the purposes specified in K.S.A. 72-6430, and

 2  unencumbered balances remaining in the program weighted funds
 3  of the district, except any amount in the vocational education fund
 4  of the district if the district is operating an area vocational school,
 5  and an amount equal to any remaining proceeds from taxes levied
 6  under authority of K.S.A. 72-7056 and 72-7072, and amendments
 7  thereto, prior to the repeal of such statutory sections, and an
 8  amount equal to the amount deposited in the general fund in the
 9  current school year from amounts received in such year by the
10  district under the provisions of subsection (a) of K.S.A. 72-1046a,
11  and amendments thereto, and an amount equal to the amount de-
12  posited in the general fund in the current school year from
13  amounts received in such year by the district pursuant to contracts
14  made and entered into under authority of K.S.A. 72-6757, and
15  amendments thereto, and an amount equal to the amount credited
16  to the general fund in the current school year from amounts dis-
17  tributed in such year to the district under the provisions of articles
18  17 and 34 of chapter 12 of Kansas Statutes Annotated and under
19  the provisions of articles 42 and 51 of chapter 79 of Kansas Statutes
20  Annotated, and an amount equal to 75% of the federal impact aid
21  of a district.
22    [(d)  ``Federal impact aid'' means an amount equal to the fed-
23  erally qualified percentage of the amount of moneys a district re-
24  ceives in the current school year under the provisions of title I of
25  public law 874 and congressional appropriations therefor, exclud-
26  ing amounts received for assistance in cases of major disaster and
27  amounts received under the low-rent housing program. The
28  amount of federal impact aid defined herein as an amount equal
29  to the federally qualified percentage of the amount of moneys pro-
30  vided for the district under title I of public law 874 shall be deter-
31  mined by the state board in accordance with terms and conditions
32  imposed under the provisions of the public law and rules and reg-
33  ulations thereunder.]
