SECTION 16-7.2-5



   § 16-7.2-5  Charter public schools, the

William M. Davies, Jr. Career and Technical High School, and the Metropolitan

Regional Career and Technical Center. –

(a) Charter public schools defined in chapter 77 of this title, the William M.

Davies, Jr. Career and Technical High School (Davies) and the Metropolitan

Regional Career and Technical Center (the Met Center) shall be funded pursuant

to § 16-7.2-3. If the October 1 actual enrollment data for any charter

public school shows a ten percent (10%) or greater change from the prior year

enrollment which is used as the reference year average daily membership, the

third and fourth quarter payments to the charter public school will be adjusted

to reflect actual enrollment. The state share of the permanent foundation

education aid shall be paid by the state directly to the charter public

schools, Davies, and the Met Center pursuant to § 16-7.2-9 and shall be

calculated using the state share ratio of the district of residence of the

student as set forth in § 16-7.2-4. The department of elementary and

secondary education shall provide the general assembly with the calculation of

the state share of permanent foundation education aid for charter public

schools delineated by school district. The department shall also provide the

general assembly a performance dashboard indicating the per-pupil expenditures

of each school district and charter school broken down by revenue sources and

expenditure categories. The department shall provide, within the same

dashboard, student performance indicators for each school district or charter

school. The local share of education funding, as defined by the department of

elementary and secondary education and approved by the General Assembly, shall

be paid to the charter public school, Davies, and the Met Center by the

district of residence of the student and shall be the local per-pupil cost

calculated by dividing the local appropriation to education from property

taxes, net of debt service and capital projects, as defined in the uniform

chart of accounts by the average daily membership for each city and town,

pursuant to § 16-7-22, for the reference year.



   (b) Local district payments to charter public schools,

Davies, and the Met Center for each district's students enrolled in these

schools shall be made on a quarterly basis in July, October, January and April;

however, the first local district payment shall be made by August 15 instead of

July. Failure of the community to make the local district payment for its

student(s) enrolled in a charter public school, Davies, and/or the Met Center

may result in the withholding of state education aid pursuant to § 16-7-31.
