Allocations for approved recovery schools; rules

(1) The State Board of Education shall adopt by rule definitions and procedures to be applied to the computation of the State School Fund allocations and Statewide Education Initiatives Account allocations to be used for approved recovery schools, as defined in ORS 336.680. When adopting rules, the board must collaborate with the advisory committee established by ORS 336.685. (2) For allocations made from the State School Fund, each approved recovery school shall receive for each school year a special State School Fund grant, consisting of a general purpose grant that is equal to the amount that the school district in which the approved recovery school is located would receive for the student. The amount that the school district would receive for the student shall: (a) Be based on the school district’s general purpose grant per ADM as calculated under ORS 327.013; and (b) Include any additional amounts attributable to the student under ORS 327.013 (1)(c), subject to any applicable limitations under ORS 327.013 (1)(c)(C). (3) For allocations made from the Statewide Education Initiatives Account, the rules adopted under this section shall provide, to the greatest extent practicable but subject to the discretion of the board, that allocations shall be in an amount necessary to pay the difference between: (a) The actual cost for providing education to students at the approved recovery school; and (b) The amounts received for providing education to students at the approved recovery school from allocations made from the State School Fund under subsection (2) of this section. (4) Funds allocated to approved recovery schools from the State School Fund and the Statewide Education Initiatives Account shall remain with the Department of Education and shall be adjusted in the year following the distribution to reflect the actual ADMw of students in the approved recovery schools in the same manner as for school districts under ORS 327.101.
