§ 20-30-2-4 — Reduction of tuition support; consideration of schools and grades

(a) Subject to subsection (c), if a school
corporation fails to conduct the minimum number of student
instructional days during a school year as required under section 3 of
this chapter, the department shall reduce the August tuition support
distribution to that school corporation for a school year by an amount
determined as follows:
STEP ONE: Determine the remainder of:
(A) the amount of the total tuition support allocated to the
school corporation for the particular school year; minus
(B) that part of the total tuition support allocated to the school
corporation for that school year with respect to student
instructional days one hundred seventy-six (176) through one
hundred eighty (180).
STEP TWO: Subtract the number of student instructional days
that the school corporation conducted from one hundred eighty
(180).
STEP THREE: Determine the lesser of five (5) or the remainder
determined under STEP TWO.
STEP FOUR: Divide the amount subtracted under STEP ONE (B)
by five (5).
STEP FIVE: Multiply the quotient determined under STEP FOUR
by the number determined under STEP THREE.
STEP SIX: Subtract the number determined under STEP THREE
from the remainder determined under STEP TWO.
STEP SEVEN: Divide the remainder determined under STEP
ONE by one hundred seventy-five (175).
STEP EIGHT: Multiply the quotient determined under STEP
SEVEN by the remainder determined under STEP SIX.
STEP NINE: Add the product determined under STEP FIVE to
the product determined under STEP EIGHT.
(b) If the total amount of state tuition support that a school
corporation receives or will receive during a school year decreases
under this section by an amount that is equal to or more than two
hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) from the amount the school
corporation would otherwise be eligible to receive during the school
year as determined under IC 20-43, the budget committee shall review
the amount of and the reason for the decrease before implementation
of the decrease.
(c) If fewer than all of the schools in a school corporation fail to
conduct the minimum number of student instructional days during a
school year as required under section 3 of this chapter, the reduction in
August tuition support required by this section shall take into account
only the schools in the school corporation that failed to conduct the
minimum number of student instructional days and only the grades for
which the required number of student instructional days was not
conducted.
