262     is the total of the units for each school district and, subject to Subsection [(4)] (5), charter
263     school, determined [as follows:] in accordance with this section.

266     [kindergarten and] self-contained classes for children with a disability.
267          [(2)] (3) (a) Except as provided in Subsection (3)(b), for a fiscal year beginning on or

271          (b) The number of weighted pupil units is computed by [adding] multiplying the
272     average daily membership [of all pupils of the school district or charter school enrolled in
273     kindergarten and multiplying the total] for the number of students who are enrolled in
274     kindergarten for less than the equivalent length of the schedule for grades 1 through 3, based on

280     membership at the short-term kindergarten shall be counted for the purpose of determining the
281     number of units allowed in the same ratio as the number of days the short-term kindergarten is

285     membership in distributing money under the Minimum School Program where the distribution
286     is based on kindergarten through grade 12 ADMs or weighted pupil units.
287          (b) Under prior year plus growth, kindergarten through grade 12 average daily
288     membership for the current year is based on the actual kindergarten through grade 12 average
289     daily membership for the previous year plus an estimated percentage growth factor.
290          (c) The growth factor is the percentage increase in total average daily membership on
291     the first school day of October in the current year as compared to the total average daily
292     membership on the first school day of October of the previous year.
293          [(4)] (5) In distributing funds to charter schools under this section, charter school
294     pupils shall be weighted, where applicable, as follows:

297     kindergarten through grade 6;

300          [(5) Notwithstanding Subsection (3)(c):]
301          [(a) for the 2020-2021 school year the state board may use a count of average daily
302     membership on any day or days of the current school year in 2020 to calculate a growth factor
303     for the 2020-2021 school year; and]
304          [(b) when calculating the growth factor as described in Subsection (5)(a), the state
305     board shall comply with all applicable federal requirements.]
