26 K.S.A. 72-8233, and amendments thereto, or who is regularly enrolled in
27 a district and attending special education services provided for preschool-

29 in this subsection, a pupil in attendance full time shall be counted as one

31 of one pupil (to the nearest 1/10) that the pupil's attendance bears to full-
32 time attendance. A pupil attending kindergarten shall be counted as 1/2
33 pupil. A pupil enrolled in and attending an institution of postsecondary
34 education which is authorized under the laws of this state to award aca-
35 demic degrees shall be counted as one pupil if the pupil's postsecondary
36 education enrollment and attendance together with the pupil's atten-
37 dance in either of the grades 11 or 12 is at least 5/6 time, otherwise the
38 pupil shall be counted as that proportion of one pupil (to the nearest 1/10)
39 that the total time of the pupil's postsecondary education attendance and
40 attendance in grade 11 or 12, as applicable, bears to full-time attendance.
41 A pupil enrolled in and attending an area vocational school, area voca-
42 tional-technical school or approved vocational education program shall be
43 counted as one pupil if the pupil's vocational education enrollment and

1 attendance together with the pupil's attendance in any of grades nine
2 through 12 is at least 5/6 time, otherwise the pupil shall be counted as that
3 proportion of one pupil (to the nearest 1/10) that the total time of the

10 dren provided for by the district shall be counted as 1/2 pupil. A pupil in
11 the custody of the secretary of social and rehabilitation services and en-
12 rolled in unified school district No. 259, Sedgwick county, Kansas, but

31 counted in the enrollment of the district on September 20; and for dis-

37 by which enrollment in the current school year has decreased from en-
38 rollment in the preceding school year to enrollment in the current school

7 (1) Determine the total expenditures of the district during the pre-
8 ceding school year from all funds for transporting pupils of public and
9 nonpublic schools on regular school routes;

11 pupils who were included in the enrollment of the district in the preced-
12 ing school year and for whom transportation was made available by the
13 district;
14 (3) multiply the quotient obtained under (2) by the total number of
15 pupils who were included in the enrollment of the district in the preced-
16 ing school year, were residing less than 21/2 miles by the usually traveled
17 road from the school building they attended, and for whom transportation
18 was made available by the district;

21 mined under (1);

24 ing school year, were residing 21/2 miles or more by the usually traveled
25 road from the school building they attended and for whom transportation
26 was made available by the district. The quotient is the per-pupil cost of
27 transportation;
28 (7) on a density-cost graph plot the per-pupil cost of transportation
29 for each district;
30 (8) construct a curve of best fit for the points so plotted;

32 density-cost graph and from the point on the curve of best fit directly
33 above this point of index of density follow a line parallel to the base line
34 to the point of intersection with the vertical line, which point is the for-
35 mula per-pupil cost of transportation of the district;
36 (10) divide the formula per-pupil cost of transportation allowance of
37 the district by base state aid per pupil shall be 100% of the formula per-
38 pupil cost determined under (9) or 100% of the per-pupil cost determined
39 under (6), whichever is lower; and

41 ance determined under (10) by the number of pupils who are included in
42 the enrollment of the district, are residing 21/2 miles or more by the usually
43 traveled road to the school building they attend, and for whom transpor-
HB 2378

1 tation is being made available by, and at the expense of, the district. The
2 product is the state transportation weighting aid of the district.

6 information relative thereto, including uniform reporting of expenditures
7 for transportation.

12 school routes by the district, divided by the number of square miles of
13 territory in the district.
14 (d) ``Density-cost graph'' means a drawing having: (1) A horizontal or
15 base line divided into equal intervals of density, beginning with zero on
16 the left; and (2) a scale for per-pupil cost of transportation to be shown
17 on a line perpendicular to the base line at the left end thereof, such scale
18 to begin with zero dollars at the base line ascending by equal per-pupil
19 cost intervals.
20 (e) ``Curve of best fit'' means the curve on a density-cost graph drawn
21 so the sum of the distances squared from such line to each of the points
22 plotted on the graph is the least possible.

31 an amount equal to 25% of the amount received by the district in the
32 preceding year for transportation;
33 (2) on February 25 such payment shall be an amount equal to 25%
34 of the entire amount the district is entitled to receive in the current school
35 year; and

38 less the amounts paid to the district for transportation aid in the preceding
39 months of September, November and February. The state board shall
40 certify to the director of accounts and reports the amount due each dis-
41 trict as transportation aid five days before each payment date. The direc-
42 tor of accounts and reports shall draw warrants on the state treasurer
43 payable to the district treasurer of each district entitled to payment of
