Consolidated school districts,
the calculation of state aid for certain years revised.
Section
1.
That
§
13-13-1.6
be amended to read as follows:
13-13-1.6.
If two or more school districts consolidate, for a period of four years after
consolidation, the newly formed district may opt to have its state aid calculated based on the school
districts as they existed prior to consolidation. In years two to four, inclusive, after the
consolidation of two or more school districts,
the adjusted average daily memberships and the local
efforts
all factors relevant to the calculation of state aid pursuant to chapter 13-13
of the former
districts may be based upon a pro-rata share of the
adjusted average daily membership and local
effort
relevant factors
of the newly formed district as compared to the
adjusted average daily
memberships and the local efforts
relevant factors
of the former districts in the first year. Any
district that opts to benefit from this section shall notify the secretary of the Department of
Education and Cultural Affairs of its intent to do so as part of its reorganization plan. A district that
benefits from this section may not benefit from
§
13-13-10.1 or 13-13-1.5 simultaneously, or in
future years.
