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:
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, 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. 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. 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:
Apportionment of Operating Costs. The District shall apportion operating via the following process:
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. The District shall apportion operating via the following process: Each member will be assigned the minimum required local contribution to the District as determined by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. 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: The District budget will be separated into three parts: a Berlin Memorial School building budget, a Boylston Elementary School building budget and a Berlin-Boylston Middle-High School building budget. Each building’s budget will be considered net of Chapter 70 Aid, Regional Transportation Aid, Grants and other District funds. The District’s Foundation Enrollment as reported to the state for the purpose of determining Chapter 70 for the given fiscal year will be segmented by town and age group (PreK-5 and 6-12). An above minimum required local contribution for each building will be calculated by subtracting the building’s portion of the minimum required local contribution from the building’s budget as presented in (a.) above. The building’s portion of the minimum local required contribution will be calculated as follows: Each elementary school’s portion of the minimum required local contribution will be determined by the member town’s minimum required local contribution multiplied by the town’s PreK-5 Foundation Enrollment divided by the town’s total Foundation Enrollment. Berlin-Boylston Middle-High School’s portion of the member towns’ minimum required local contribution will be determined by calculating the sum of: each member town’s minimum required local contribution multiplied by the town’s 6-12 Foundation Enrollment divided by the town’s total Foundation Enrollment. The above minimum required local contribution for each building will be apportioned as follows: Each member town will be apportioned 100% of its local elementary school building’s above minimum required local contribution. Each member town will be apportioned a percentage of Berlin-Boylston Middle-High School’s above minimum required local contribution as determined by each town’s average ratio of pupil enrollment (foundation enrollment) in grades six through twelve for the preceding five years. Each town’s ratio of pupil enrollment (foundation enrollment) shall mean the ratio that each member town’s pupil enrollment (foundation enrollment) in grades six through twelve bears to the ...
Apportionment of Operating Costs. For each fiscal year, the assessment of operating costs for each member town shall be determined using the Chapter 70 Allocation Model as described in the following steps:
