§ 20-43-4-2 — Determination of ADM; estimates

(a) Subject to section 3.7 of this chapter, a
school corporation's ADM is the number of eligible pupils enrolled in:
(1) the school corporation; or
(2) a transferee corporation;
on the fall count day of ADM established under section 3 of this
chapter and, if applicable, as subsequently adjusted under section 3.5
of this chapter.
(b) Subject to section 3.7 of this chapter, a school corporation shall
determine the number of eligible pupils enrolled in:
(1) the school corporation; or
(2) a transferee corporation;
on the day fixed in February by the state board for a spring count of
students under section 3 of this chapter and, if applicable, as
subsequently adjusted under section 3.5 of this chapter.
(c) Each school corporation shall, before April 1 of each year,
provide to the department an estimate of the school corporation's ADM
that will result from the following fall count of eligible pupils. The
department may update and adjust the estimate as determined
appropriate by the department. In each odd-numbered year, the
department shall provide the updated and adjusted estimate of the
school corporation's ADM to the legislative services agency before
April 10 of that year. Upon request, the department shall provide a
school corporation with an estimate of the school corporation's ADM.
(d) A new charter school shall submit an enrollment estimate to the
department before April 1 of the year the new charter school will be
open for enrollment. The department shall use the new charter school's
enrollment estimate as the basis for the new charter school's
distribution beginning in July and until actual ADM is available,
subject to section 9 of this chapter. However, if the new charter school's
enrollment estimate is greater than eighty percent (80%) of the new
charter school's authorized enrollment cap, the department may use that
enrollment estimate if the department has requested and reviewed other
enrollment data that support that enrollment estimate. However, if the
enrollment data requested and reviewed by the department does not
support the enrollment estimate submitted by the new charter school,
the department shall determine the estimated ADM based on the
enrollment data requested and reviewed by the department. In each
odd-numbered year, the department shall provide the new charter
school's estimated ADM to the legislative services agency before April
10 of that year.
