(1) The pupil membership transfer application and pupil transfer process administered by the center under this section is used for processing pupil transfers.   (2) If a pupil counted in membership for the pupil membership count day transfers from a district or intermediate district to enroll in another district or intermediate district after the pupil membership count day and before the supplemental count day and, due to the pupil's enrollment and attendance status as of the pupil membership count day, the pupil was not counted in membership in the educating district or intermediate district, the educating district or intermediate district may report the enrollment and attendance information to the center through the pupil transfer process within 30 days after the transfer or within 30 days after the pupil membership count certification date, whichever is later. Pupil transfers may be submitted no earlier than the first day after the certification deadline for the pupil membership count day and before the supplemental count day. Upon receipt of the transfer information under this subsection indicating that a pupil has enrolled and is in attendance in an educating district or intermediate district as described in this subsection, the center shall do the following:   (a) Notify the district in which the pupil was previously enrolled.   (b) Notify both the pupil auditing staff of the intermediate district in which the educating district is located and the pupil auditing staff of the intermediate district in which the district that previously enrolled the pupil is located. The pupil auditing staff shall investigate a representative sample based on required audit sample sizes in the pupil auditing manual and may deny the pupil membership transfer.  (c) Aggregate the districtwide changes and notify the department for use in adjusting the state aid payment system.   (3) The department shall do all of the following:  (a) Adjust the membership calculation for each district or intermediate district in which the pupil was previously counted in membership or that previously received an adjustment in its membership calculation under this section due to a change in the pupil's enrollment and attendance so that the district's or intermediate district's membership is prorated to allow the district or intermediate district to receive for each school day, as determined by the financial calendar furnished by the center, in which the pupil was enrolled and in attendance in the district or intermediate district an amount equal to 1/105 of a full-time equated membership claimed in the fall pupil membership count. The department shall pay the district or intermediate district a prorated foundation allowance in an amount equal to the product of the adjustment under this subdivision for the district or intermediate district multiplied by the foundation allowance or per-pupil payment as calculated under section 20 for the district or intermediate district. The foundation allowance or per-pupil payment is adjusted by the pupil's full-time equated status as affected by the membership definition under section 6(4).  (b) Adjust the membership calculation for the educating district or intermediate district in which the pupil is enrolled and is in attendance so that the district's or intermediate district's membership is increased to allow the district or intermediate district to receive an amount equal to the difference between the full-time equated membership claimed in the fall pupil membership count and the sum of the adjustments calculated under subdivision (a) for each district or intermediate district in which the pupil was previously enrolled and in attendance. The department shall pay the educating district or intermediate district a prorated foundation allowance in an amount equal to the product of the adjustment under this subdivision for the educating district or intermediate district multiplied by the per-pupil payment as calculated under section 20 for the educating district or intermediate district. The foundation allowance or per-pupil payment is adjusted by the pupil's full-time equated status as affected by the membership definition under section 6(4).  (4) The changes in calculation of state school aid required under subsection (3) take effect as of the date that the pupil becomes enrolled and in attendance in the educating district or intermediate district, and the department shall base all subsequent payments under this article for the fiscal year to the affected districts or intermediate districts on this recalculation of state school aid.  (5) If a pupil enrolls in an educating district or intermediate district as described in subsection (2), the district or intermediate district in which the pupil is counted in membership or another educating district or intermediate district that received an adjustment in its membership calculation under subsection (3), if any, and the educating district or intermediate district shall provide to the center and the department all information they require to comply with this section.  (6) The portion of the full-time equated pupil membership for which a pupil is enrolled in 1 or more online courses under section 21f that is representative of the amount that the primary district paid in course costs to the course provider is not counted or transferred under the pupil transfer process under this section.  (7) The center annually shall provide a report to the senate and house appropriations subcommittees on state school aid, and to the senate and house fiscal agencies, detailing the number of pupils transferring in from outside the public school system of this state and the number of pupils transferring out of the public school system in this state between the pupil membership count day and supplemental count day as described in this subsection.  (8) As used in this section:   (a) "Educating district or intermediate district" means the district or intermediate district in which a pupil enrolls after the pupil membership count day or after an adjustment was made in another district's or intermediate district's membership calculation under this section due to the pupil's enrollment and attendance.  (b) "Pupil" means that term as defined under section 6 and also children receiving early childhood special education programs and services. History: Add. 2013, Act 60, Eff.
