An Act concerning school districts; affecting the determination of grants of state moneys for the provision of educational services for pupils at Flint Hills job corps center, in juvenile detention facilities, or at Forbes juvenile attention facility; relating to the defi- nition of enrollment and adjusted enrollment as applicable to certain districts for the financing thereof in the 1996-97 school year; amending K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 72-8187 and 72-8188 and repealing the existing sections.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:

Section 1. K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 72-8187 is hereby amended to read as follows: 72-8187. (a) In each school year, to the extent that appropriations are available, each school district which has provided educational services for pupils residing at the Flint Hills job corps center or for pupils confined in a juvenile detention facility or at the Forbes juvenile attention facility is eligible to receive a grant of state moneys in an amount to be deter- mined by the state board of education.

(b) In order to be eligible for a grant of state moneys provided for by this section, each school district which has provided educational services for pupils residing at the Flint Hills job corps center or for pupils confined in a juvenile detention facility or at the Forbes juvenile attention facility shall submit to the state board of education an application for a grant and shall certify the amount expended in the school year for the services provided. The application and certification shall be prepared in such form and manner as the state board shall require and shall be submitted at a time to be determined and specified by the state board. Approval by the state board of applications for grants of state moneys is prerequisite to the award of grants.

(c) Each school district which is awarded a grant under this section shall make such periodic and special reports of statistical and financial information to the state board as it may request.

(d) All moneys received by a school district under authority of this section shall be deposited in the general fund of the school district and shall be considered reimbursement of the district for the purpose of the school district finance and quality performance act.

(e) (1) The state board of education shall approve applications of school districts for grants, determine the amount of grants and be re- sponsible for payment of grants to school districts. In determining the amount of a grant which a school district is eligible to receive, the state board shall compute the amount of state financial aid the district would have received on the basis of enrollment of pupils residing at the Flint Hills job corps center or confined in a juvenile detention facility or at the Forbes juvenile attention facility if such pupils had been counted as two pupils under the school district finance and quality performance act and compare such computed amount to the amount certified by the district under subsection (b). The amount of the grant the district is eligible to receive shall be an amount equal to the lesser of the amount computed under this subsection or the amount certified under subsection (b). If the amount of appropriations for the payment of grants under this section is insufficient to pay in full the amount each school district is determined to be eligible to receive for the school year, the state board shall prorate the amount appropriated among all school districts which are eligible to receive grants of state moneys in proportion to the amount each school district is determined to be eligible to receive.

(2) As used in this subsection, the term ``enrollment'' means the num- ber of pupils who are residing at the Flint Hills job corps center or who are confined in a juvenile detention facility or at the Forbes juvenile at- tention facility and for whom a school district is providing educational services on September 20, on November 20, or on April 20 of a school year, whichever is the greatest number of pupils.

Sec. 2. K.S.A. 1995 Supp. 72-8188 is hereby amended to read as follows: 72-8188. (a) For the purposes of the school district finance and quality performance act in the 1995-96 1996-97 school year, and not- withstanding any provision of the act to the contrary, the terms ``enroll- ment'' and ``adjusted enrollment'' shall be determined by the state board of education as provided in this subsection for the unified school districts to which the provisions of this section apply. If enrollment of a school district on September 20, 1995 1996, is greater than enrollment of the district on September 20, 1994 1995, as determined under this subsection prior to amendment by this act, enrollment of the district shall be as determined on September 20, 1995 1996. If adjusted enrollment of a school district on September 20, 1995 1996, is greater than adjusted en- rollment of the district on September 20, 1994 1995, as determined under this subsection prior to amendment by this act, adjusted enrollment of the district shall be as determined on September 20, 1995 1996. If en- rollment of a school district on September 20, 1994 1995, as determined under this subsection prior to amendment by this act, is greater than enrollment of the district on September 20, 1995 1996, the September 20, 1995 1996 enrollment shall be subtracted from the September 20, 1994 enrollment of the district on September 20, 1995, as determined under this subsection prior to amendment by this act, the difference shall be multiplied by 90%, the product shall be added to the September 20, 1995 1996 enrollment, the sum shall be deemed enrollment of the dis- trict. If adjusted enrollment of a school district on September 20, 1994 1995, as determined under this subsection prior to amendment by this act, is greater than adjusted enrollment of the district on September 20, 1995 1996, the September 20, 1995 1996 adjusted enrollment shall be subtracted from the September 20, 1994 adjusted enrollment of the dis- trict on September 20, 1995, as determined under this subsection prior to amendment by this act, the difference shall be multiplied by 90%, the product shall be added to the September 20, 1995 1996 adjusted enroll- ment, the sum shall be deemed adjusted enrollment of the district.
