school.
Sec. 2. A school corporation is entitled to a small school
performance grant as provided in this chapter for a calendar year
beginning after December 31, 2010.
Sec. 3. The amount of the small school performance grant to
which a school corporation is entitled in a calendar year is equal to
the result determined under the last STEP of the following
formula:
STEP ONE: Determine the result of:
(A) the number of students enrolled in the school
corporation who received a score on the ISTEP program
test for mathematics and the ISTEP program test for
English/language arts in the immediately preceding
calendar year that exceeded the minimum passing score
established by the state board for each of these ISTEP
program tests; divided by
(B) the number of students enrolled in the school
corporation that took both the ISTEP program test for
mathematics and the ISTEP program test for
English/language arts in the immediately preceding
calendar year;
rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001).
STEP TWO: Determine the greater of zero (0) or the result
of:
(A) the STEP ONE result; minus
(B) seven-tenths (0.7).
STEP THREE: Determine the result of:
(A) the STEP TWO result; multiplied by
(B) one hundred (100).
STEP FOUR: Determine the result of:
(A) the STEP THREE result; multiplied by
(B) forty-three dollars ($43).
STEP FIVE: Determine the result of:
(A) the STEP FOUR result; multiplied by
(B) the current ADM of the school corporation.
Sec. 4. The method used to calculate the number of students
taking and passing an ISTEP program test under this chapter must
be consistent with the method of reporting enrollment and ISTEP
program test scores on a school corporation's annual performance
report prepared under IC 20-20-8.
