Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. Average daily membership is calculated at the conclusion of the school year by adding the total number of hours that each student in a given grade, school, or school district is in attendance at the school's physical plant during a school calendar and the total number of hours that each student in a given grade, school, or school district is absent during a school calendar, and then dividing the sum by:

a. Nine hundred sixty-two and one-half hours for elementary school students; or

b. One thousand fifty hours for middle and high school students.

a. A student enrolled full time in any grade from one through twelve may not exceed an average daily membership of 1.00. The membership may be prorated for a student who is enrolled less than full time.
