Missouri Revised Statutes Title XI. Education and Libraries § 163.087. School district trust fund distribution, certain school districts--districts foregoing reduction in total operating levy, calculation of entitlement

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.

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.
