Or. Admin. Code § 581-013-0015 - Fund Administration

(1) For each biennium, the Oregon Department of Education shall determine the total amount of funds to be apportioned among the eligible school districts and charter schools for the biennium.
(2) For purposes of establishing the amount of grant funds apportioned to eligible applicants, the Oregon Department of Education will use the most current finalized ADMw from the State School Fund from the year prior to the start of the biennium.
(3) If an eligible applicant experiences an increase in their 9-12 student enrollment, they may submit a request for recalculation to the Oregon Department of Education by April 30 of each even numbered year.
(4) Grant recipients will be eligible to expend funds until June 30 of year two of the biennium. Any allocated funds that are not used by a grant recipient by June 30 in year two of the biennium will be returned to the High School Graduation and College and Career Readiness Fund for distribution in the next biennium.
(5) Funds received by a school district or charter school under this section must be separately accounted for and must be used in accordance with the school district or charter school's approved biennial plan.
(6) In the case of a public charter school closure that impacts a sponsoring district's allocation, the Department will determine the best way to reapportion funds based on the timing of the closure, context, and communication with the closing charter school and the sponsoring district. The Department may;
(a) Allocate what have been apportioned to the charter school to the sponsoring district at the same time as the district allocations are made.
(b) Allocate what would have been apportioned to the charter school to the charter schools successor entity.
(c) Return the apportioned amount to the Statewide Education Initiatives Account for reallocation in a subsequent fiscal year.
