Apportionment of Operating Costs. The District will utilize the statutory method in the apportionment of operating costs. Pursuant to this method, the District will deduct from operating costs the total of any revenue from Chapter 70 state aid, Chapter 71 Regional Transportation Reimbursement, and any other revenue as determined by the Regional School Committee. The balance of all operating costs, except those described in subsection IV,F below, shall be apportioned to each member community as follows. Each member community’s share of operating costs will be the sum of the following: (a) the member’s required local contribution to the District as determined by the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education (hereinafter “the Commissioner”); (b) the member’s share of that portion of the District’s net school spending, as defined by G.L. chapter 70, section 2, that exceeds the total of the required local contributions for all of the members; and (c) the member’s share of costs for transportation and all other expenditures (exclusive of capital costs as defined in subsection IV,(B) above) that are not included in the District’s net school spending. A member’s share of (b) and (c) above will be calculated by computing the ratio which that member’s pupil enrollment in the regional district school, using a rolling average based on the four (4) most recent annual October 1 enrollment figures, bears to the total pupil enrollment in the regional district school from member communities, using a rolling average based on the four
Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating Costs after the Effective Date and for every fiscal year thereafter shall be apportioned by the Partnership to each Member Town in the following manner:
15.5.1 Semi-fixed operating costs: Semi-fixed Operating Costs will be apportioned annually to the Member Town in the same ratio based on capacity owned, as provided for Capital Costs.
Apportionment of Operating Costs. All operating costs, except those described in subsection IV(F), for the first fiscal year next following the establishment of the regional school district, and for every fiscal year thereafter, shall be apportioned to the member towns on the basis of each town's respective pupil enrollment in the regional district school. Each member town's share for each fiscal year shall be determined by computing the ratio which that member town's pupil enrollment in the regional district school on October 1 of the fiscal year next preceding the fiscal year for which the apportionment is determined bears to the total pupil enrollment in the regional school from all the member towns on the same date. In computing this apportionment the pupil hours referred to in subsection IV(F) shall be excluded. In the event that enrollment of pupils in the regional district school has not been accomplished by October 1 of any year, operating costs shall be apportioned on the basis of enrollment in grades nine through twelve of pupils residing in each member town and receiving education at such town's expense on October 1 of such year.
Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating costs shall be expressed as "instructional costs" and "non-instructional costs", and the categorization of costs into either of these sub-categories are to be determined by the Regional District School Committee, in accordance with any definitions that may be promulgated from time to time by the Massachusetts Department of Education.
(1) Non-instructional operating costs shall be apportioned to the member towns as follows:
(i) Twenty-five percent (25%) on the basis that the "Average Equalized Valuation" (as defined below) of each member town bears to the "Total Equalized Valuation" (as defined below) of all member towns; and
(ii) Seventy-five percent (75%) on the basis that the population of each member town according to the most recent Federal Census bears to the combined populations of all member towns according to the same Federal Census.
(2) Instructional operating costs shall be apportioned to the member towns as follows:
(i) Twenty-five percent (25%) on the basis that the Average Equalized Valuation of each member town bears to the Total Equalized Valuation of all member towns; and
(ii) Seventy-five percent (75%) on the basis that the "Average Respective Pupil Enrollments" (as defined below) of each member town in all Regional School District schools bears to the "Total Pupil Enrollment" (as defined below).
(3) For purposes of this Agreement:
(i) the Average Equalized Valuation of each member town for fiscal year 2008 shall mean the "Latest Equalized Valuation of such Member Town" (as defined below);
(ii) the Average Equalized Valuation of each member town for fiscal year 2009 shall mean the arithmetic average of the Latest Equalized Valuation of such Member Town for fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2009;
(iii) the Average Equalized Valuation of each member town for fiscal year 2010 and each fiscal year thereafter shall mean the arithmetic average of the Latest Equalized Valuation of such Member Town for such fiscal year and the two immediately preceding fiscal years;
(iv) the Latest Equalized Valuation of such Member Town shall mean, with respect to any fiscal year, the equalized valuation of such member town as set forth in Chapter 559 most recently made publicly available prior to the beginning of such fiscal year;
(v) the Total Equalized Valuation of the member towns for any fiscal year shall mean the sum of the Latest Equalized Valuations of all member towns used in computing the Average Equalized Valuation for any member town for such...
Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating costs for the District (grades PK-12) for the next fiscal year following the passage of this amended Agreement and for every fiscal year thereafter shall be based on the Statutory Assessment Method defined in “Regional School District Regulations” outlined by DESE Regulation 603, CMR 41.00, as amended, and consistent with the terms and conditions of MGL, Ch. 70, Sec. 6, as amended. If an Alternative Assessment Method is proposed, an amendment to this Agreement must be approved consistent with the amendment process in Section VIII.
Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating costs, not including transportation, and not including capital costs pursuant to section V(B), or debt service, but including interest and principal on revenue anticipation notes, shall be apportioned to member towns using the statutory assessment method, as defined in 603 CMR 41.01. The operating costs to the member towns will equal the minimum local contribution and any other operating costs above the minimum local contribution. The aggregate above minimum cost is arrived at by subtracting from the operating cost the following: Chapter 70 aid, the total minimum required contribution of all member towns and other general revenue sources to the District. Each member town’s proportionate share of the above minimum contribution shall be assessed by computing the ratio which the sum of the pupil enrollment of a member town, as determined by the enrollment of students in said schools each October 1 of the current fiscal year and the preceding four years, bears to the sum of the enrollment of students in the district schools, as determined by the students enrolled in said schools each October 1 of the current fiscal year and preceding four years. The statutory method calculation is as follows: Operating costs (which exclude capital, debt and transportation) Minus Chapter 70 (as calculated by DESE) Minus minimum combined required local contributions of all member towns (calculated by DESE) Minus other general revenue sources to the District Equals the total above minimum contribution for all member towns. Distribute the above amounts to the member towns consistent with the provisions of Section V, E.
Apportionment of Operating Costs. The District shall apportion operating via the following process:
1. Each member will be assigned the minimum required local contribution to the District as determined by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
2. Each member’s share of that portion of the District’s operating costs that exceeds the total required local contribution for all members is allocated via the following series of calculations:
a. The District budget will be separated into three parts: a Lanesborough Elementary School building budget, a Williamstown Elementary School building budget and a Mount Greylock School building budget. Each building’s budget will be considered net of Chapter 70 Aid, Regional Transportation Aid, Grants and other District funds as apportioned by the District per Section VIII E. 3. –
Apportionment of Operating Costs. The annual distribution of student places in the Four Cities Educational Compact, as approved by the Administrative Board, will be the basis for apportionment of operating costs. The aggregate costs of operation of the career technical education programs for the Participating School Districts shall be determined and computed as follows:
(a) The average cost per pupil for incoming students (i.e., all non-resident students attending a Participating School District’s career technical program pursuant to this Agreement) and outgoing students (i.e., all resident students or interdistrict open enrolled students attending another Participating School District’s career technical program pursuant to this Agreement) will be determined through the use of the Ohio Department of Education’s Education Management Information System. Participating School Districts will collaborate to assure students are properly reported by both the district of residence or district of enrollment, for interdistrict open enrolled students; and the district of attendance. A student’s percentage of attendance will equal a total of one when the district of attendance and district of residence or district of enrollment, for interdistrict open enrolled students, are added together, unless the student is attending a community school or chartered nonpublic school. The community school and chartered nonpublic school students shall be included in the average daily membership of the school district of residence as a part-time student in proportion to the time spent in the career-technical education program, with the proper proportion of that time allocated to the district of attendance through the use of the Ohio Department of Education’s Education Management Information System. In the event that home schooled students are deemed “Eligible Students” pursuant to Section 1 paragraph (c), the average cost per pupil will likewise be determined through the use of the same calculations for community school and chartered nonpublic school students.
(b) Operating costs of the Four Cities Educational Compact are the responsibility of the Fiscal Agent. All costs associated with the operation of the Director and his/her office/staff will be accounted for by the Fiscal Agent. The Fiscal Agent in cooperation with the Director and the Administrative Board will periodically bill the Participating School Districts one fourth of the cost to operate said office. Further, the operating costs of the compact may be suppl...
Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating costs, and any capital costs not apportioned pursuant to subsection IV (D), for the first calendar year next following the establishment of the regional school district and for every calendar year thereafter shall be apportioned to the member towns on the basis of their respective pupil enrollments in the regional district schools, including the schools referred to in subsection III C. Each member town’s share for each calendar year shall be determined by computing the ratio which that town’s pupil enrollment in the regional district schools on October 1 of the year next preceding the year for which the apportionment is determined bears to the total pupil enrollment from all the member towns in regional district schools on the same date. In the event that enrollment in the regional district schools has not been accomplished by October 1 of any year, operating costs shall be apportioned on the basis of enrollment in all grades from kindergarten through grade 12 of pupils residing in each member town and receiving education at such town’s expense on October 1 of that year. Amendment #2:
Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating costs for the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District (grades pre- kindergarten through twelve) for the second fiscal year following the passage of this amended Agreement and for every fiscal year thereafter shall be based on the Statutory Assessment Method defined in “Regional School District Regulations” outlined by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Regulations 603 CMR 41.00 and consistent with the terms and conditions of M.G.L. Chapter 70, Section 6. If any Alternative Assessment Method is proposed, it must comply with the Amendment process outlined in Section VIII.
