GREENE STATE SCHOOL BUILDING LEASE-PURCHASE LAW OF 1976 › Article 4 - ELIGIBLE FACILITIES › Section 1865.30 - Estimated Average Daily Attendance (ADA)

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The estimated ADA of a school district or
						  attendance area as required by Section
						  17740 of the act for determining
						  the allowable building area shall be computed by this section. No estimate will
						  be used unless approved by the executive officer of the board.
(b) For the purpose of estimating ADA, the
						  following definitions shall apply:
(1)
						  "Enrollment" means the graded enrollment of minors of the district as reported
						  to the Department of Education on Form R-30 (or any successor form). Comparable
						  enrollment data for the end of the first or sixth school month may be
						  acceptable if verified by the appropriate 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 determined by the cohort survival method
						  for a period of two years for the elementary grades and for a period of three
						  years for the high school grades.
(3) "Pupil units attending continuation
						  classes" is computed as follows: First determine the average number of pupil
						  hours of attendance in high school continuation classes per school day in the
						  highest three months of the latest 12 months, then divide the 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 factor which is computed by dividing the "projected
						  enrollment" by the "current enrollment." The result is the "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 the 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.
(4) "Exceptional
						  children" means those pupils assigned to special education classes as of the
						  latest 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
						  exceptional children assigned to special education classes, plus the pupil
						  units attending high school continuation classes.
(6) "Housecount" means 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.
