Utah Admin. Code R277-419-6 - Student Membership Calculations
(1)
(a)
Except as provided in Subsection (1)(b) or (1)(c), a student enrolled in only
one LEA during a school year is eligible for no more than 180 days of regular
membership per school year.
(b)
With written verification from the student's parent that the student intends to
graduate early, an early graduation student may be counted for more than 180
days of regular membership in accordance with the student's Plan for College
and Career Readiness.
(c) A student
transferring within an LEA to or from a year-round school is eligible for no
more than 205 days of regular membership per school year.
(2)
(a)
Except as provided in Subsection (2)(b), (2)(c), or (2)(d), a student enrolled
in two or more LEAs during a school year is eligible for no more than 180 days
of regular membership per school year.
(b) A student transferring to or from an LEA
with a schedule approved under Subsection
R277-419-4(1)(b)
is eligible for no more than 220 days of regular membership per school
year.
(c) A student transferring to
or from an LEA where the student attended or will attend a year-round school is
eligible for no more than 205 days of regular membership per school
year.
(d) If the exceptions in
Subsections (2)(b) and (2)(c) do not apply but a student transfers from one LEA
to another at least one time during the school year, the student is eligible
for regular membership in an amount not to exceed the sum of:
(i) 170 days; plus
(ii) 10 days multiplied by the number of LEAs
the student attended during the school year.
(3) If a student is enrolled in two or more
LEAs during a school year and the aggregate regular membership generated for
the student between the LEAs exceeds the amount allowed under Subsection (2),
the Superintendent shall apportion the days of regular membership allowed
between the LEAs.
(4) If a student
was enrolled for only part of the school day or only part of the school year,
an LEA shall prorate the student's membership according to the number of hours,
periods or credits for which the student was enrolled in relation to the number
of hours, periods or credits for which a full-time student normally would have
been enrolled, for example:
(a) if the student
was enrolled for four periods each day in a seven period school day for 180
school days, the student's aggregate membership would be 4/7 of 180 days or 103
days; or
(b) if the student was
enrolled for seven periods each day in a seven period school day for 103 school
days, the student's membership would also be 103 days.
(5)
(a) An
LEA shall calculate the days in membership for all students using a method
equivalent to the following: total clock hours of educational services for
which the student was enrolled during the school year divided by 990 hours and
then multiplied by 180 days and finally rounded up to the nearest whole
day.
(b) For example, if a student
was enrolled for only 900 hours during the school year, the student's aggregate
membership would be (900/990)*180, and the LEA would report 164
days.
(6) The sum of
regular plus self-contained special education and self-contained YIC membership
days may not exceed 180 days.
(7)
The sum of regular and resource special education membership days may not
exceed 360 days.
(8) The sum of
regular, ISI-1 and ISI-2 YIC membership days may not exceed 360 days.
(9) An LEA may also count a student in
membership for the equivalent in hours of up to:
(a) one period each school day, if the
student has been:
(i) released by the school,
upon a parent or guardian's request, during the school day for religious
instruction or individual learning activity consistent with the student's Plan
for College and Career Readiness; or
(ii) participating in one or more
co-curricular activities under Rule R277-438, but has otherwise been exempted
from school attendance under Section
53G-6-204 for home
schooling;
(b) two
periods each school day per student for time spent in bus travel during the
regular school day to and from another state funded institution, if the student
is enrolled in CTE instruction consistent with the student's Plan for College
and Career Readiness;
(c) all
periods each school day, if the student is enrolled in:
(i) a concurrent enrollment program that
satisfies the Title 53E, Chapter 10, Part 3, Concurrent Enrollment;
(ii) a private school without religious
affiliation under a contract initiated by an LEA to provide special education
services which directs that the instruction be paid by public funds if the
contract with the private school is approved by an LEA board in an open
meeting;
(iii) a foreign exchange
student program under Section
53G-6-707; or
(iv) a school operated by an LEA under a Utah
Schools for the Deaf and the Blind IEP provided that:
(A) the student may only be counted in S1
membership and may not have an S2 record; and
(B) the S2 record for the student is
submitted by the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind.
(10)
(a) Except as provided in Subsection (10)(b),
a student receiving instruction delivered in a home school course or by a
private school is not eligible to be claimed in an LEA's membership and does
not qualify for funding under the Minimum School Program in Title 53F, Chapter
2, Minimum School Program Act.
(b)
Subsection (10)(a) does not apply to public school instruction provided by an
LEA to a home school or private school student participating in dual enrollment
as described in Section
