SUBSTITUTE FOR

 

HOUSE BILL NO. 4789

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     A bill to amend 1979 PA 94, entitled

 

"The state school aid act of 1979,"

 

by amending section 6 (MCL 388.1606), as amended by 2008 PA 268.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 6. (1) "Center program" means a program operated by a

 

district or intermediate district for special education pupils from

 

several districts in programs for pupils with autism spectrum

 

disorder, pupils with severe cognitive impairment, pupils with

 

moderate cognitive impairment, pupils with severe multiple

 

impairments, pupils with hearing impairment, pupils with visual

 

impairment, and pupils with physical impairment or other health

 

impairment. Programs for pupils with emotional impairment housed in

 

buildings that do not serve regular education pupils also qualify.

 

Unless otherwise approved by the department, a center program

 

either shall serve all constituent districts within an intermediate


 

district or shall serve several districts with less than 50% of the

 

pupils residing in the operating district. In addition, special

 

education center program pupils placed part-time in noncenter

 

programs to comply with the least restrictive environment

 

provisions of section 612 of part B of the individuals with

 

disabilities education act, 20 USC 1412, may be considered center

 

program pupils for pupil accounting purposes for the time scheduled

 

in either a center program or a noncenter program.

 

     (2) "District and high school graduation rate" means the

 

annual completion and pupil dropout rate that is calculated by the

 

center pursuant to nationally recognized standards.

 

     (3) "District and high school graduation report" means a

 

report of the number of pupils, excluding adult participants, in

 

the district for the immediately preceding school year, adjusted

 

for those pupils who have transferred into or out of the district

 

or high school, who leave high school with a diploma or other

 

credential of equal status.

 

     (4) "Membership", except as otherwise provided in this act,

 

means for a district, public school academy, university school, or

 

intermediate district the sum of the product of .75 times the

 

number of full-time equated pupils in grades K to 12 actually

 

enrolled and in regular daily attendance on the pupil membership

 

count day for the current school year, plus the product of .25

 

times the final audited count from the supplemental count day for

 

the immediately preceding school year. All pupil counts used in

 

this subsection are as determined by the department and calculated

 

by adding the number of pupils registered for attendance plus


 

pupils received by transfer and minus pupils lost as defined by

 

rules promulgated by the superintendent, and as corrected by a

 

subsequent department audit. The amount of the foundation allowance

 

for a pupil in membership is determined under section 20. In making

 

the calculation of membership, all of the following, as applicable,

 

apply to determining the membership of a district, public school

 

academy, university school, or intermediate district:

 

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, and

 

pursuant to subsection (6), a pupil shall be counted in membership

 

in the pupil's educating district or districts. An individual pupil

 

shall not be counted for more than a total of 1.0 full-time equated

 

membership.

 

     (b) If a pupil is educated in a district other than the

 

pupil's district of residence, if the pupil is not being educated

 

as part of a cooperative education program, if the pupil's district

 

of residence does not give the educating district its approval to

 

count the pupil in membership in the educating district, and if the

 

pupil is not covered by an exception specified in subsection (6) to

 

the requirement that the educating district must have the approval

 

of the pupil's district of residence to count the pupil in

 

membership, the pupil shall not be counted in membership in any

 

district.

 

     (c) A special education pupil educated by the intermediate

 

district shall be counted in membership in the intermediate

 

district.

 

     (d) A pupil placed by a court or state agency in an on-grounds

 

program of a juvenile detention facility, a child caring


 

institution, or a mental health institution, or a pupil funded

 

under section 53a, shall be counted in membership in the district

 

or intermediate district approved by the department to operate the

 

program.

 

     (e) A pupil enrolled in the Michigan schools for the deaf and

 

blind shall be counted in membership in the pupil's intermediate

 

district of residence.

 

     (f) A pupil enrolled in a vocational education program

 

supported by a millage levied over an area larger than a single

 

district or in an area vocational-technical education program

 

established pursuant to section 690 of the revised school code, MCL

 

380.690, shall be counted only in the pupil's district of

 

residence.

 

     (g) A pupil enrolled in a university school shall be counted

 

in membership in the university school.

 

     (h) A pupil enrolled in a public school academy shall be

 

counted in membership in the public school academy.

 

     (i) For a new district, university school, or public school

 

academy beginning its operation after December 31, 1994, membership

 

for the first 2 full or partial fiscal years of operation shall be

 

determined as follows:

 

     (i) If operations begin before the pupil membership count day

 

for the fiscal year, membership is the average number of full-time

 

equated pupils in grades K to 12 actually enrolled and in regular

 

daily attendance on the pupil membership count day for the current

 

school year and on the supplemental count day for the current

 

school year, as determined by the department and calculated by


 

adding the number of pupils registered for attendance on the pupil

 

membership count day plus pupils received by transfer and minus

 

pupils lost as defined by rules promulgated by the superintendent,

 

and as corrected by a subsequent department audit, plus the final

 

audited count from the supplemental count day for the current

 

school year, and dividing that sum by 2.

 

     (ii) If operations begin after the pupil membership count day

 

for the fiscal year and not later than the supplemental count day

 

for the fiscal year, membership is the final audited count of the

 

number of full-time equated pupils in grades K to 12 actually

 

enrolled and in regular daily attendance on the supplemental count

 

day for the current school year.

 

     (j) If a district is the authorizing body for a public school

 

academy, then, in the first school year in which pupils are counted

 

in membership on the pupil membership count day in the public

 

school academy, the determination of the district's membership

 

shall exclude from the district's pupil count for the immediately

 

preceding supplemental count day any pupils who are counted in the

 

public school academy on that first pupil membership count day who

 

were also counted in the district on the immediately preceding

 

supplemental count day.

 

     (k) In a district, public school academy, university school,

 

or intermediate district operating an extended school year program

 

approved by the superintendent, a pupil enrolled, but not scheduled

 

to be in regular daily attendance on a pupil membership count day,

 

shall be counted.

 

     (l) Pupils to be counted in membership shall be not less than 5


 

years of age on December 1 and less than 20 years of age on

 

September 1 of the school year except a special education pupil who

 

is enrolled and receiving instruction in a special education

 

program or service approved by the department and not having a high

 

school diploma who is less than 26 years of age as of September 1

 

of the current school year shall be counted in membership.

 

     (m) An individual who has obtained a high school diploma shall

 

not be counted in membership. An individual who has obtained a

 

general educational development (G.E.D.) certificate shall not be

 

counted in membership. An individual participating in a job

 

training program funded under former section 107a or a jobs program

 

funded under former section 107b, administered by the Michigan

 

strategic fund or the department of labor and economic growth, or

 

participating in any successor of either of those 2 programs, shall

 

not be counted in membership.

 

     (n) If a pupil counted in membership in a public school

 

academy is also educated by a district or intermediate district as

 

part of a cooperative education program, the pupil shall be counted

 

in membership only in the public school academy unless a written

 

agreement signed by all parties designates the party or parties in

 

which the pupil shall be counted in membership, and the

 

instructional time scheduled for the pupil in the district or

 

intermediate district shall be included in the full-time equated

 

membership determination under subdivision (q). However, for pupils

 

receiving instruction in both a public school academy and in a

 

district or intermediate district but not as a part of a

 

cooperative education program, the following apply:


 

     (i) If the public school academy provides instruction for at

 

least 1/2 of the class hours specified in subdivision (q), the

 

public school academy shall receive as its prorated share of the

 

full-time equated membership for each of those pupils an amount

 

equal to 1 times the product of the hours of instruction the public

 

school academy provides divided by the number of hours specified in

 

subdivision (q) for full-time equivalency, and the remainder of the

 

full-time membership for each of those pupils shall be allocated to

 

the district or intermediate district providing the remainder of

 

the hours of instruction.

 

     (ii) If the public school academy provides instruction for less

 

than 1/2 of the class hours specified in subdivision (q), the

 

district or intermediate district providing the remainder of the

 

hours of instruction shall receive as its prorated share of the

 

full-time equated membership for each of those pupils an amount

 

equal to 1 times the product of the hours of instruction the

 

district or intermediate district provides divided by the number of

 

hours specified in subdivision (q) for full-time equivalency, and

 

the remainder of the full-time membership for each of those pupils

 

shall be allocated to the public school academy.

 

     (o) An individual less than 16 years of age as of September 1

 

of the current school year who is being educated in an alternative

 

education program shall not be counted in membership if there are

 

also adult education participants being educated in the same

 

program or classroom.

 

     (p) The department shall give a uniform interpretation of

 

full-time and part-time memberships.


 

     (q) The number of class hours used to calculate full-time

 

equated memberships shall be consistent with section 101(3). In

 

determining full-time equated memberships for pupils who are

 

enrolled in a postsecondary institution, a pupil shall not be

 

considered to be less than a full-time equated pupil solely because

 

of the effect of his or her postsecondary enrollment, including

 

necessary travel time, on the number of class hours provided by the

 

district to the pupil.

 

     (r) Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, full-

 

time equated memberships for pupils in kindergarten shall be

 

determined by dividing the number of class hours scheduled and

 

provided per year per kindergarten pupil by a number equal to 1/2

 

the number used for determining full-time equated memberships for

 

pupils in grades 1 to 12. Beginning in 2009-2010, full-time equated

 

memberships for pupils enrolled in developmental kindergarten,

 

prekindergarten, or a similar class intended to be the first of 2

 

school years before a pupil enters grade 1 shall be determined by

 

dividing the number of class hours scheduled and provided per year

 

per kindergarten pupil by the number used for determining full-time

 

equated memberships for pupils in grades 1 to 12. For 2010-2011,

 

full-time equated memberships for pupils enrolled in kindergarten

 

shall be determined by dividing the number of class hours scheduled

 

and provided per year per kindergarten pupil by a number equal to

 

60% of the number used for determining full-time equated

 

memberships for pupils in grades 1 to 12. Beginning in 2011-2012,

 

full-time equated memberships for pupils enrolled in kindergarten

 

shall be determined by dividing the number of class hours scheduled


 

and provided per year per kindergarten pupil by a number equal to

 

70% of the number used for determining full-time equated

 

memberships for pupils in grades 1 to 12.

 

     (s) For a district, university school, or public school

 

academy that has pupils enrolled in a grade level that was not

 

offered by the district, university school, or public school

 

academy in the immediately preceding school year, the number of

 

pupils enrolled in that grade level to be counted in membership is

 

the average of the number of those pupils enrolled and in regular

 

daily attendance on the pupil membership count day and the

 

supplemental count day of the current school year, as determined by

 

the department. Membership shall be calculated by adding the number

 

of pupils registered for attendance in that grade level on the

 

pupil membership count day plus pupils received by transfer and

 

minus pupils lost as defined by rules promulgated by the

 

superintendent, and as corrected by subsequent department audit,

 

plus the final audited count from the supplemental count day for

 

the current school year, and dividing that sum by 2.

 

     (t) A pupil enrolled in a cooperative education program may be

 

counted in membership in the pupil's district of residence with the

 

written approval of all parties to the cooperative agreement.

 

     (u) If, as a result of a disciplinary action, a district

 

determines through the district's alternative or disciplinary

 

education program that the best instructional placement for a pupil

 

is in the pupil's home or otherwise apart from the general school

 

population, if that placement is authorized in writing by the

 

district superintendent and district alternative or disciplinary


 

education supervisor, and if the district provides appropriate

 

instruction as described in this subdivision to the pupil at the

 

pupil's home or otherwise apart from the general school population,

 

the district may count the pupil in membership on a pro rata basis,

 

with the proration based on the number of hours of instruction the

 

district actually provides to the pupil divided by the number of

 

hours specified in subdivision (q) for full-time equivalency. For

 

the purposes of this subdivision, a district shall be considered to

 

be providing appropriate instruction if all of the following are

 

met:

 

     (i) The district provides at least 2 nonconsecutive hours of

 

instruction per week to the pupil at the pupil's home or otherwise

 

apart from the general school population under the supervision of a

 

certificated teacher.

 

     (ii) The district provides instructional materials, resources,

 

and supplies, except computers, that are comparable to those

 

otherwise provided in the district's alternative education program.

 

     (iii) Course content is comparable to that in the district's

 

alternative education program.

 

     (iv) Credit earned is awarded to the pupil and placed on the

 

pupil's transcript.

 

     (v) For 2007-2008 only, a pupil enrolled in an alternative or

 

disciplinary education program described in section 25 shall be

 

counted in membership in the district or public school academy that

 

expelled the pupil.

 

     (w) If a pupil was enrolled in a public school academy on the

 

pupil membership count day, if the public school academy's contract


 

with its authorizing body is revoked or the public school academy

 

otherwise ceases to operate, and if the pupil enrolls in a district

 

within 45 days after the pupil membership count day, the department

 

shall adjust the district's pupil count for the pupil membership

 

count day to include the pupil in the count.

 

     (x) For a public school academy that has been in operation for

 

at least 2 years and that suspended operations for at least 1

 

semester and is resuming operations, membership is the sum of the

 

product of .75 times the number of full-time equated pupils in

 

grades K to 12 actually enrolled and in regular daily attendance on

 

the first pupil membership count day or supplemental count day,

 

whichever is first, occurring after operations resume, plus the

 

product of .25 times the final audited count from the most recent

 

pupil membership count day or supplemental count day that occurred

 

before suspending operations, as determined by the superintendent.

 

     (y) If a district's membership for a particular fiscal year,

 

as otherwise calculated under this subsection, would be less than

 

1,550 pupils and the district has 4.5 or fewer pupils per square

 

mile, as determined by the department, and, beginning in 2007-2008,

 

if the district does not receive funding under section 22d(2), the

 

district's membership shall be considered to be the membership

 

figure calculated under this subdivision. If a district educates

 

and counts in its membership pupils in grades 9 to 12 who reside in

 

a contiguous district that does not operate grades 9 to 12 and if 1

 

or both of the affected districts request the department to use the

 

determination allowed under this sentence, the department shall

 

include the square mileage of both districts in determining the


 

number of pupils per square mile for each of the districts for the

 

purposes of this subdivision. The membership figure calculated

 

under this subdivision is the greater of the following:

 

     (i) The average of the district's membership for the 3-fiscal-

 

year period ending with that fiscal year, calculated by adding the

 

district's actual membership for each of those 3 fiscal years, as

 

otherwise calculated under this subsection, and dividing the sum of

 

those 3 membership figures by 3.

 

     (ii) The district's actual membership for that fiscal year as

 

otherwise calculated under this subsection.

 

     (z) If a public school academy that is not in its first or

 

second year of operation closes at the end of a school year and

 

does not reopen for the next school year, the department shall

 

adjust the membership count of the district in which a former pupil

 

of the public school academy enrolls and is in regular daily

 

attendance for the next school year to ensure that the district

 

receives the same amount of membership aid for the pupil as if the

 

pupil were counted in the district on the supplemental count day of

 

the preceding school year.

 

     (aa) Full-time equated memberships for preprimary-aged special

 

education pupils who are not enrolled in kindergarten but are

 

enrolled in a classroom program under R 340.1754 of the Michigan

 

administrative code shall be determined by dividing the number of

 

class hours scheduled and provided per year by 450. Full-time

 

equated memberships for preprimary-aged special education pupils

 

who are not enrolled in kindergarten but are receiving nonclassroom

 

services under R 340.1755 of the Michigan administrative code shall


 

be determined by dividing the number of hours of service scheduled

 

and provided per year per pupil by 180.

 

     (bb) A pupil of a district that begins its school year after

 

Labor day who is enrolled in an intermediate district program that

 

begins before Labor day shall not be considered to be less than a

 

full-time pupil solely due to instructional time scheduled but not

 

attended by the pupil before Labor day.

 

     (cc) For the first year in which a pupil is counted in

 

membership on the pupil membership count day in a middle college

 

program described in section 64, the membership is the average of

 

the full-time equated membership on the pupil membership count day

 

and on the supplemental count day for the current school year, as

 

determined by the department. If a pupil was counted by the

 

operating district on the immediately preceding supplemental count

 

day, the pupil shall be excluded from the district's immediately

 

preceding supplemental count for purposes of determining the

 

district's membership.

 

     (dd) A pupil enrolled in a failing public school that is

 

placed in the state school reform/redesign school district and

 

managed by a qualified person or entity pursuant to a performance

 

contract under section 1280c(7) and (8) of the revised school code,

 

MCL 380.1280c, shall be counted in membership in the district or

 

public school academy that operated the failing public before it

 

was designated as a failing public school.

 

     (5) "Public school academy" means a public school academy,

 

urban high school academy, turnaround school, or strict discipline

 

academy operating under the revised school code.


 

     (6) "Pupil" means a person in membership in a public school. A

 

district must have the approval of the pupil's district of

 

residence to count the pupil in membership, except approval by the

 

pupil's district of residence is not required for any of the

 

following:

 

     (a) A nonpublic part-time pupil enrolled in grades 1 to 12 in

 

accordance with section 166b.

 

     (b) A pupil receiving 1/2 or less of his or her instruction in

 

a district other than the pupil's district of residence.

 

     (c) A pupil enrolled in a public school academy or university

 

school.

 

     (d) A pupil enrolled in a district other than the pupil's

 

district of residence under an intermediate district schools of

 

choice pilot program as described in section 91a or former section

 

91 if the intermediate district and its constituent districts have

 

been exempted from section 105.

 

     (e) A pupil enrolled in a district other than the pupil's

 

district of residence if the pupil is enrolled in accordance with

 

section 105 or 105c.

 

     (f) A pupil who has made an official written complaint or

 

whose parent or legal guardian has made an official written

 

complaint to law enforcement officials and to school officials of

 

the pupil's district of residence that the pupil has been the

 

victim of a criminal sexual assault or other serious assault, if

 

the official complaint either indicates that the assault occurred

 

at school or that the assault was committed by 1 or more other

 

pupils enrolled in the school the pupil would otherwise attend in


 

the district of residence or by an employee of the district of

 

residence. A person who intentionally makes a false report of a

 

crime to law enforcement officials for the purposes of this

 

subdivision is subject to section 411a of the Michigan penal code,

 

1931 PA 328, MCL 750.411a, which provides criminal penalties for

 

that conduct. As used in this subdivision:

     (g) A pupil whose district of residence changed after the

 

pupil membership count day and before the supplemental count day

 

and who continues to be enrolled on the supplemental count day as a

 

nonresident in the district in which he or she was enrolled as a

 

resident on the pupil membership count day of the same school year.

 

     (h) A pupil enrolled in an alternative education program

 

operated by a district other than his or her district of residence

 

who meets 1 or more of the following:

 

     (i) The pupil has been suspended or expelled from his or her

 

district of residence for any reason, including, but not limited

 

to, a suspension or expulsion under section 1310, 1311, or 1311a of

 

the revised school code, MCL 380.1310, 380.1311, and 380.1311a.


 

     (ii) The pupil had previously dropped out of school.

 

     (iii) The pupil is pregnant or is a parent.

 

     (iv) The pupil has been referred to the program by a court.

 

     (v) The pupil is enrolled in an alternative or disciplinary

adopted child, stepchild, or legal ward.

 

     (k) An expelled pupil who has been denied reinstatement by the

 

expelling district and is reinstated by another school board under

 

section 1311 or 1311a of the revised school code, MCL 380.1311 and

     (l) A pupil enrolled in a district other than the pupil's

 

district of residence in a program described in section 64 if the

 

pupil's district of residence and the enrolling district are both

 

constituent districts of the same intermediate district.

 

     (m) A pupil enrolled in a district other than the pupil's

 

district of residence who attends a United States Olympic education

 

center.

 

     However, if a district that is not a first class district

 

educates pupils who reside in a first class district and if the

 

primary instructional site for those pupils is located within the

 

boundaries of the first class district, the educating district must

 

have the approval of the first class district to count those pupils

 

in membership. As used in this subsection, "first class district"


 

means a district organized as a school district of the first class

 

under the revised school code.

 

     (7) "Pupil membership count day" of a district or intermediate

 

district means:

 

     (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the fourth

 

Wednesday after Labor day each school year or, for a district or

daily attendance" means pupils in grades K to 12 in attendance and

 

receiving instruction in all classes for which they are enrolled on

 

the pupil membership count day or the supplemental count day, as

 

applicable. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a

 

pupil who is absent from any of the classes in which the pupil is

 

enrolled on the pupil membership count day or supplemental count

 

day and who does not attend each of those classes during the 10

 

consecutive school days immediately following the pupil membership

 

count day or supplemental count day, except for a pupil who has

 

been excused by the district, shall not be counted as 1.0 full-time


 

equated membership. A pupil who is excused from attendance on the

 

pupil membership count day or supplemental count day and who fails

 

to attend each of the classes in which the pupil is enrolled within

 

30 calendar days after the pupil membership count day or

 

supplemental count day shall not be counted as 1.0 full-time

 

equated membership. In addition, a pupil who was enrolled and in

 

attendance in a district, intermediate district, or public school

 

academy before the pupil membership count day or supplemental count

 

day of a particular year but was expelled or suspended on the pupil

 

membership count day or supplemental count day shall only be

 

counted as 1.0 full-time equated membership if the pupil resumed

 

attendance in the district, intermediate district, or public school

 

academy within 45 days after the pupil membership count day or

 

supplemental count day of that particular year. Pupils not counted

 

as 1.0 full-time equated membership due to an absence from a class

 

shall be counted as a prorated membership for the classes the pupil

 

attended. For purposes of this subsection, "class" means a period

 

of time in 1 day when pupils and a certificated teacher or legally

 

qualified substitute teacher are together and instruction is taking

 

place.

 

     (9) "Rule" means a rule promulgated pursuant to the
