28A.505.220 - Student achievement program -- General fund allocation. - Washington Statutes

Student achievement program — General fund allocation.

(1) Total distributions for the student achievement program from the general fund to each school district shall be based upon the average number of full-time equivalent students in the school district during the previous school year as reported to the office of the superintendent of public instruction by August 31st of the previous school year. The superintendent of public instruction shall ensure that moneys generated by skill center students are returned to skill centers.

     (2) The allocation rate per full-time equivalent student shall be three hundred dollars in the 2005-06 school year, three hundred seventy-five dollars in the 2006-07 school year, and four hundred fifty dollars in the 2007-08 school year. For each subsequent school year, the amount allocated per full-time equivalent student shall be adjusted for inflation by the implicit price deflator as published by the federal bureau of labor statistics. However, for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years, the amount allocated per full-time equivalent student shall be as specified in the omnibus appropriations act. For the 2011-12 school year and thereafter, amounts allocated shall be further adjusted so that the allocations are equal to what they would have been if allocations had not been reduced for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years. These allocations per full-time equivalent student shall be supported from the distributions from the education legacy trust account created in RCW 83.100.230 and the state general fund.

     (3) The school district annual amounts as defined in subsection (2) of this section shall be distributed on the monthly apportionment schedule as defined in RCW 28A.510.250.

     (4) However, during the 2008-09 school year, the school district annual amounts as defined in this section shall be distributed as follows:

     September: 9.0 percent;

     October: 9.0 percent;

     November: 5.5 percent;

     December: 9.0 percent;

     January: 9.0 percent;

     March: 9.0 percent;

     April: 9.0 percent;

     May: 5.5 percent;
