Catch Title:
Charter
schools-average daily membership.

Subject:
Wyoming
charter school law.

Summary/Major Elements:

Modifies computation of ADM
for purposes of determining charter school entitlements to school foundation
program funding;

Modification to ADM
computations allows charter schools expanding enrollment by including grades
above existing configuration levels, to adjust ADM counts by the October 1
student enrollment count taken on the first year of operation under the
expanded grade configuration levels;

The effect is to allow
adjustment to current enrollment levels for purposes of foundation fund
entitlements, as opposed to experiencing a one-year lag in funding under
existing computations;

The adjustment applies only
to charter schools in their fourth or subsequent year of operation. (Note,
existing law allows charter schools to adjust to current enrollment levels in
first three years of operation.)
