257.10 DISTRICT COST PER PUPIL -- DISTRICT COST.
1. Regular program district cost per pupil for 1991-1992.
For the budget year beginning July 1, 1991, in order to determine the
regular program district cost per pupil for a district, the
department of management shall divide the product of the regular
program district cost per pupil of the district for the base year, as
regular program district cost per pupil would have been calculated
under section 442.9, Code 1989, multiplied by its budget enrollment
for the base year as budget enrollment would have been calculated
under section 442.4, Code 1989, plus the amount added to district
cost pursuant to section 442.21, Code 1989, for each school district,
by the budget enrollment of the school district for the budget year
beginning July 1, 1990, calculated under section 257.6, subsection 4,
as if section 257.6, subsection 4, had been in effect for that budget
year. The regular program district cost per pupil for the budget
year beginning July 1, 1991, is the amount calculated by the
department of management under this subsection plus the allowable
growth amount calculated for regular program state cost per pupil,
except that if the regular program district cost per pupil for the
budget year calculated under this subsection in any school district
exceeds one hundred ten percent of the regular program state cost per
pupil for the budget year, the department of management shall reduce
the regular program district cost per pupil of that district for the
budget year to an amount equal to one hundred ten percent of the
regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year, and if the
regular program district cost per pupil for the budget year
calculated under this subsection in any school district is less than
the regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year, the
department of management shall increase the regular program district
cost per pupil of that district to an amount equal to the regular
program state cost per pupil for the budget year.
2. Regular program district cost per pupil for 1992-1993 and
succeeding years.
a. For the budget year beginning July 1, 1992, and succeeding
budget years, the regular program district cost per pupil for each
school district for a budget year is the regular program district
cost per pupil for the base year plus the regular program allowable
growth for the budget year except as otherwise provided in this
subsection.
b. If the regular program district cost per pupil of a school
district for the budget year under paragraph "a" exceeds one
hundred five percent of the regular program state cost per pupil for
the budget year and the state percent of growth for the budget year
is greater than two percent, the regular program district cost per
pupil for the budget year for that district shall be reduced to one
hundred five percent of the regular program state cost per pupil for
the budget year. However, if the difference between the regular
program district cost per pupil for the budget year and the regular
program state cost per pupil for the budget year is greater than an
amount equal to two percent multiplied by the regular program state
cost per pupil for the base year, the regular program district cost
per pupil for the budget year shall be reduced by the amount equal to
two percent multiplied by the regular program state cost per pupil
for the base year.
3. Special education support services district cost per pupil
for 1991-1992. For the budget year beginning July 1, 1991, for the
special education support services district cost per pupil, the
department of management shall divide the approved budget of each
area education agency for special education support services for that
year approved by the state board of education, under section 273.3,
subsection 12, by the total of the weighted enrollment for special
education support services in the area for that budget year. The
special education support services district cost per pupil for each
school district in an area for the budget year is the amount
calculated by the department of management under this subsection.
4. Special education support services district cost per pupil
for 1992-1993 and succeeding years.
a. For the budget year beginning July 1, 1992, and succeeding
budget years, the special education support services district cost
per pupil for the budget year is the special education support
services district cost per pupil for the base year plus the special
education support services allowable growth for the budget year.
b. Notwithstanding the special education support services
district cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1, 1991,
calculated under subsection 3, for area education agencies that have
fewer than three and five-tenths public school pupils per square
mile, the special education support services district cost per pupil
for the budget year beginning July 1, 1991, is one hundred
forty-seven dollars.
5. Combined district cost per pupil. The combined district
cost per pupil for a school district is the sum of the regular
program district cost per pupil and the special education support
services district cost per pupil. Combined district cost per pupil
does not include modified allowable growth added for school districts
that have a negative balance of funds raised for special education
instruction programs, modified allowable growth granted by the school
budget review committee for a single school year, or modified
allowable growth added for programs for dropout prevention.
6. Regular program district cost. Regular program district
cost for a school district for a budget year is equal to the regular
program district cost per pupil for the budget year multiplied by the
budget enrollment for the budget year.
7. Special education support services district cost. Special
education support services district cost for a school district for a
budget year is equal to the special education support services
district cost per pupil for the budget year multiplied by the special
education support services weighted enrollment for the district for
the budget year. If the special education support services district
cost for a school district for a budget year is less than the special
education support services district cost for that district for the
base year, the department of management shall adjust the special
education support services district cost for that district for the
budget year to equal the special education support services district
cost for the base year.
8. Combined district cost.
a. Combined district cost is the sum of the regular program
district cost per pupil multiplied by the weighted enrollment, the
special education support services district cost, the total teacher
salary supplement district cost, the total professional development
supplement district cost, and the total early intervention supplement
district cost, plus the sum of the additional district cost allocated
to the district to fund media services and educational services
provided through the area education agency, the area education agency
total teacher salary supplement district cost and the area education
agency total professional development supplement district cost.
b. A school district may increase its combined district cost
for the budget year to the extent that an excess tax levy is
authorized by the school budget review committee.

2009, and the phase II allocation made to each district for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008, pursuant to section 294A.9, Code
2009, and divide that sum by the district's budget enrollment in the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009, to determine the teacher salary
supplement district cost per pupil. For the budget year beginning
July 1, 2010, and succeeding budget years, the teacher salary
supplement district cost per pupil for each school district for a
budget year is the teacher salary supplement program district cost
per pupil for the base year plus the teacher salary supplement state
allowable growth amount for the budget year.
b. For the budget year beginning July 1, 2010, and succeeding
budget years, if the department of management determines that the
unadjusted teacher salary supplement district cost of a school
district for a budget year is less than one hundred percent of the
unadjusted teacher salary supplement district cost for the base year
for the school district, the school district shall receive a budget
adjustment for that budget year equal to the difference.
