1. Money in the school district trust fund shall be distributed to each school district in the state in the same ratio that the weighted average daily attendance in the district bears to the total weighted average daily attendance in all such school districts for the preceding year, except as otherwise provided in section 163.031. In addition, each such district which is providing an approved program for pupils residing on federal lands shall receive an amount which shall be determined as follows: weighted average daily attendance for pupils residing on federal lands shall be calculated separately for the district in the manner provided in section 163.011, treating such pupils as residents of the district for this purpose. Such weighted average daily attendance shall be multiplied by one-half of the amount to be received by the district, pursuant to this subsection, per weighted average daily attendance not residing on federal lands.

2. Money in the fund shall be distributed monthly. The state board of education shall certify the amounts to be distributed to the several school districts to the commissioner of administration who shall issue the warrants therefor.

Terms Used In Missouri Laws 163.087

  • Average daily attendance: the quotient or the sum of the quotients obtained by dividing the total number of hours attended in a term by resident pupils between the ages of five and twenty-one by the actual number of hours school was in session in that term. See Missouri Laws 163.011
  • Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
  • State: when applied to any of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories, and the words "United States" includes such district and territories. See Missouri Laws 1.020
  • Weighted average daily attendance: the average daily attendance plus the product of twenty-five hundredths multiplied by the free and reduced price lunch pupil count that exceeds the free and reduced price lunch threshold, plus the product of seventy-five hundredths multiplied by the number of special education pupil count that exceeds the special education threshold, plus the product of six-tenths multiplied by the number of limited English proficiency pupil count that exceeds the limited English proficiency threshold. See Missouri Laws 163.011

3. Money received by a school district from the school district trust fund shall be deemed to be local tax revenue derived for the same fiscal year in which the money is received for the teachers’ and incidental funds. In the calculation of state aid for the district under the provisions of section 163.031, one-half the amount received by the district in the first preceding year shall be included in local effort as provided in section 163.031.
