Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The estimated average daily attendance of
						  a school district as required by Section
						  16044 of the Act for determining
						  the allowable area of adequate school construction shall be computed as
						  prescribed by this section.
(b) For
						  purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) "Enrollment" means the graded enrollment
						  of minors of the district for the end of the first school month as reported by
						  the school district to the Department of Education on CBEDS or any successor
						  form. CBEDS enrollment or acceptable equivalent data shall be verified by the
						  appropriate County Superintendent of Schools. Comparable enrollment data for
						  the end of the sixth school month is acceptable when verified by the County
						  Superintendent of Schools.
Enrollment shall include only those students who
							 actually reside in the school district and any students who reside in the
							 district but attend school in other than the district of residence. Enrollment
							 shall exclude high school pupils who attend continuation
							 classes.
(2) "Projected
						  enrollment" means graded enrollment as projected by the cohort survival
						  projection method as described in subsection (c), for a period of two years
						  with respect to the elementary grades of the district and for a period of three
						  years with respect to the high school grades of the district. For purposes of
						  this section the term "high school grades of the district" refers to enrollment
						  in grades maintained by the senior high schools of the district and by those
						  junior high schools which maintain classes above the eighth grade.
(3) "Pupil Units attending continuation
						  classes" is a figure computed as follows: First determine the average number of
						  pupil hours of high school attendance in continuation classes per school day in
						  the highest three months of the latest 12 months, then divide said average by
						  six. In making this computation, pupil hours during the regular school day in
						  excess of 15 per week shall be included. Pupil hours for evening or Saturday
						  classes shall be excluded. Multiply the final figure obtained in the preceding
						  calculation by a growth factor which is computed by dividing the "projected
						  enrollment" by the applicable "enrollment" for the most recent year. The figure
						  obtained is the number of "Pupil Units attending continuation classes." In the
						  event the district is applying for a continuation high school facility and has
						  students who have not yet been screened and assigned to continuation classes
						  because of lack of suitable space, the district may submit an identified list
						  of such pupils. The average number of pupil hours of high school attendance in
						  continuation classes per school day as computed above may be augmented by the
						  pupil hours obtained by multiplying the number of names on said list by three,
						  or in the event the district can prove that continuation high school pupils
						  attend classes for an average of more than three hours per day, such larger
						  multiplier may be used. When an identified list of prospective continuation
						  high school pupils is used, the number of pupils on such list shall be excluded
						  from the graded enrollment reported in accordance with Subsections (b)(1) and
						  (c)(1).
(4) "Ungraded pupils
						  assigned to special education classes" means the number of pupils assigned to
						  such classes on the date of the latest reported enrollment, plus a verified
						  count of such pupils who are not attending classes of the district but will
						  become a part of the attendance of the district when approved facilities for
						  such pupils have been completed.
(5) "Estimated average daily attendance"
						  means the projected enrollment multiplied by .97, plus the ungraded pupils
						  assigned to special education classes, plus the pupil units of high school
						  pupils attending continuation classes.
(6) "Housecount" mean an enumeration of new
						  housing units that are under construction, i.e. units that have at least
						  reached the stage of foundations in place, and have not yet been completed and
						  occupied, classified by type of housing unit as the Board may prescribe. Such
						  housing units shall not include hotel or motel accommodations or other living
						  quarters generally used as transient or short-term accommodations, but may
						  include spaces under construction for mobile homes which the Board determines
						  to be essentially for long-term occupancy. The definition of housecount
						  prescribed herein may be modified from time to time as may be necessary to
						  classify new housing units in the most appropriate manner for the purpose of
						  measuring the pupil yield of such units.
