Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) For each
			 Funding Cycle, the Department shall provide State Matching Grants to Districts
			 from designated resources in the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching
			 Account. The Department shall determine and apportion the amount of available
			 resources among the Funding Cycles in each biennium. The total amount of State
			 Matching Grant funds available and awarded by the Department may vary during
			 each Funding Cycle.
(2) The
			 Department shall post on its website the amounts that will be available for
			 OSCIM Grants for each Funding Cycle within a reasonable time after the
			 Legislature determines the level of funding for the Oregon School Capital
			 Improvement Matching Account.
(3)
			 If the Legislature does not determine the amount of funding for the Oregon
			 School Capital Improvement Matching Account until after the application period
			 opens for a given Funding Cycle, the application period will run as normal.
			 However, any posting of results will be delayed until such time as the
			 Legislature determines the amount of funding for the Oregon School Capital
			 Improvement Matching Account.
(4)
			 If the Legislature does not appropriate any funds for the OSCIM Program for a
			 biennium, or any part of the biennium, then the OSCIM Program will cancel open
			 application periods and future application periods until funding is
			 restored.
(5) Sixty percent (60%)
			 of designated grant resources in the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching
			 Account shall be awarded based on the Priority List.
(6) The Priority List shall be based on a
			 District's Assessed Value, Percentage of Students in Poverty, and Average Daily
			 Membership.
(7) The Department
			 shall update the Priority List every biennium. The Priority List will be
			 updated no later than June 1 before the start of the next biennium. The updated
			 Priority List will be effective at the start of the next biennium. To update
			 the list, the Department will use the data from the most recent year for which
			 all three sources have reported actual data.
(8) The Priority List shall be calculated as
			 follows:
(a) The District's Students in
			 Poverty shall be multiplied by twenty (20) to determine the Weighted Number of
			 Students in Poverty.
(b) The
			 District's Weighted Number of Students in Poverty shall be divided by the
			 District's Adjusted ADMr to arrive at the District's Percentage of Students in
			 Poverty.
(c) The District's
			 Assessed Value shall be divided by the District's Adjusted ADMw to determine
			 the District's Assessed Property Value per ADM.
(d) The District's Assessed Property Value
			 per ADM shall then be divided by one (1) plus the Percentage of Students in
			 Poverty to determine the District's Adjusted Assessed Value per ADM.
(e) The Districts will be ranked from the
			 lowest Adjusted Assessed Property Value per ADM to the highest.
