ARIZONA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Fifty-fourth Legislature

Second Regular Session

 

HB 2741: CTEDs; fourth-year funding

Sponsor:  Representative Udall, LD 25

Committee on Education

Overview

Allows a career technical education district (CTED) to include students in grades 9-12 and students in the school year immediately after graduation that meet specified criteria in the calculation of student count or average daily membership (ADM).

History

For the purposes of funding, a CTED may levy a maximum of .05 cents per $100 of secondary net assessed property valuation to generate a local contribution, with the remainder of formula monies coming in the form of basic state aid. A CTED's student count may not include:

1)    A student in K-9;

2)    A student in grades 8 and 9 may only be funded with monies generated by the CTED's tax levy;

3)    A student in the year after graduation or received a general equivalency diploma;

4)    A student over 21; or

5)    A student enrolled in an internship course as part of a CTED (A.R.S. § 15-393(4)(A)(B)(C)(D)).

The calculation of a CTED's average daily membership (ADM) differs as follows:

1)    A student who is enrolled at a school district or charter school and a CTED course or program on a satellite campus generates 1.25 ADM;

2)    A student who is enrolled at a school district or charter school and a CTED course or program at a centralized campus generates 1.75 ADM; and

3)    A student who is enrolled at a school district or charter school and a CTED course or program at a leased centralized campus generates 1.75 ADM.

A school district or charter school and CTED must determine the apportionment of ADM for students. However, the apportioned amount may not exceed 1.0 ADM for either entity (A.R.S. § 15-393(N)(O)(Q)).

The Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) serves as Arizona's workforce planning coordinator, collects and refines employment surveys, provides economic and demographic research and analyses, provides staffing and support to the Workforce Arizona Council and evaluates regulatory and taxation costs at the state and local level.
