Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 7.
(1) The
				computation of a full-time equivalency shall comply with sections 6(4), 6(8),
				51a, 101, 109, 163a and 166b of 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1606(4), MCL 388.1606(8),
				MCL 388.1651a, MCL 388.1701, MCL 388.1709, MCL 388.1763a and MCL
				388.1766b.
(2) A part-time pupil in
				membership on the count dates is counted in the amount computed on the pro rata
				basis provided in statute or these rules.
(3) Except as provided in subrule (2) of this
				rule, a pupil enrolled in and attending classes in more than 1 school district
				on the count day shall be counted as a part-time member by each school
				district. The part-time membership shall be equal to the number of hours
				scheduled and enrolled in each district divided by the total number of hours
				scheduled and enrolled in all districts. However, if the total number of hours
				scheduled and enrolled in all districts is less than the number of hours
				specified in section 101(3) of 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1701(3), the part-time
				memberships shall be equal to the number of hours scheduled and enrolled in
				each district divided by the number of hours specified in section 101(3) of
				1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1701(3).
(4)
				For a pupil receiving instruction in both a public school academy and in a
				district or intermediate district, the membership shall be calculated pursuant
				to section 6(4) of 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1606(4).
(5) A pupil shall attend each of the classes
				in which the pupil is enrolled on the pupil membership count dates in order to
				have that class time used in the calculation of the pupil's full-time
				equivalency pursuant to section 6(8) of 1979 PA 94, MCL 388.1606(8). To
				calculate full-time equivalency, attendance shall be taken on a class-by-class
				basis for a high school pupil or for any other pupil who passes from class to
				class individually, not as an entire class. In addition, pupils enrolled in a
				program with a block schedule shall be accounted for on a class-by-class basis.
				For classes on a pupil's schedule not scheduled on the count date, attendance
				is required on the day immediately following the count date on which the
				classes are scheduled.
(6) A pupil
				with an excused absence on the count date who attends each class within 30
				calendar days shall have that class time used in the calculation of the pupil's
				fulltime equivalency. A pupil with an unexcused absence who was in attendance
				prior to the count date and attends class within 10 school days shall have that
				class time used in the calculation of the pupil's full-time equivalency. A
				pupil who was suspended or expelled who was in attendance prior to the count
				date and attends class within 45 calendar days shall have that class time used
				in the calculation of the pupil's full-time equivalency.
(7) An eligible pupil enrolled and attending
				an eligible postsecondary institution pursuant to 1996 PA 160, MCL 388.511 to
				MCL 388.524 or 2000 PA 258, MCL 388.1901 to MCL 388.1913 shall comply with the
				requirements of
				R
				340.17 and
				R
				388.151 to
				R 388.155. The pupil may be
				considered a full-time equated pupil if 1 of the following is met:
(a) The combined number of classes that the
				pupil is enrolled in and attending at the high school and at an eligible
				postsecondary institution equals the number of scheduled classes per day at the
				high school necessary to reach the minimum required hours for a full-time
				pupil. Actual hours of instruction do not need to be computed.
(b) The combined number of classes that the
				pupil is enrolled in and attending at the high school and at an eligible
				postsecondary institution equals the number of scheduled classes per day at the
				high school necessary to meet the minimum instructional time requirements of a
				reduced schedule. Actual hours of instruction do not need to be
				computed.
(c) The sum of the actual
				instruction hours a pupil is enrolled in at the high school and at an eligible
				postsecondary institution and the number of hours of travel time meet the
				minimum number of hours required to meet a reduced schedule.
