Apportionment of Operating Costs. The District will utilize the statutory method in the apportionment of operating costs. Pursuant to this method, the District will deduct from operating costs the total of any revenue from Chapter 70 state aid, Chapter 71 Regional Transportation Reimbursement, and any other revenue as determined by the Regional School Committee. The balance of all operating costs, except those described in subsection IV,F below, shall be apportioned to each member community as follows. Each member community’s share of operating costs will be the sum of the following: (a) the member’s required local contribution to the District as determined by the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education (hereinafter “the Commissioner”); (b) the member’s share of that portion of the District’s net school spending, as defined by G.L. chapter 70, section 2, that exceeds the total of the required local contributions for all of the members; and (c) the member’s share of costs for transportation and all other expenditures (exclusive of capital costs as defined in subsection IV,(B) above) that are not included in the District’s net school spending. A member’s share of (b) and (c) above will be calculated by computing the ratio which that member’s pupil enrollment in the regional district school, using a rolling average based on the four (4) most recent annual October 1 enrollment figures, bears to the total pupil enrollment in the regional district school from member communities, using a rolling average based on the four
Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating Costs after the Effective Date and for every fiscal year thereafter shall be apportioned by the Partnership to each Member Town in the following manner:

All operating costs, except those described in subsection IV(F), for the first fiscal year next following the establishment of the regional school district, and for every fiscal year thereafter, shall be apportioned to the member towns on the basis of each town's respective pupil enrollment in the regional district school. Each member town's share for each fiscal year shall be determined by computing the ratio which that member town's pupil enrollment in the regional district school on October 1 of the fiscal year next preceding the fiscal year for which the apportionment is determined bears to the total pupil enrollment in the regional school from all the member towns on the same date. In computing this apportionment the pupil hours referred to in subsection IV(F) shall be excluded. In the event that enrollment of pupils in the regional district school has not been accomplished by October 1 of any year, operating costs shall be apportioned on the basis of enrollment in grades nine through twelve of pupils residing in each member town and receiving education at such town's expense on October 1 of such year.

Apportionment of Operating Costs. The District will utilize the statutory method in the apportionment of operating costs. Pursuant to this method, the District will deduct from operating costs the total of any revenue from Chapter 70 state aid, Chapter 71 Regional Transportation Reimbursement, and any other revenue as determined by the Regional School Committee. The balance of all operating costs, except those described in subsection IV,F below, shall be apportioned to each member community as follows. Each member community’s share of operating costs will be the sum of the following: (a) the member’s required local contribution to the District as determined by the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education (hereinafter “the Commissioner”); (b) the member’s share of that portion of the District’s net school spending, as defined by G.L. chapter 70, section 2, that exceeds the total of the required local contributions for all of the members; and (c) the member’s share of costs for transportation and all other expenditures (exclusive of capital costs as defined in subsection IV,(B) above) that are not included in the District’s net school spending. A member’s share of (b) and (c) above will be calculated by computing the ratio which that member’s pupil enrollment in the regional district school, using a rolling average based on the four (4) most recent annual October 1 enrollment figures, bears to the total pupil enrollment in the regional district school from member communities, using a rolling average based on the four (4) most recent annual October 1 enrollment figures. All operating costs, except those described in subsection IV(F), for the first fiscal year next following the establishment of the regional school district, and for every fiscal year thereafter, shall be apportioned to the member towns on the basis of each town's respective pupil enrollment in the regional district school. Each member town's share for each fiscal year shall be determined by computing the ratio which that member town's pupil enrollment in the regional district school on October 1 of the fiscal year next preceding the fiscal year for which the apportionment is determined bears to the total pupil enrollment in the regional school from all the member towns on the same date.

Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating costs effective July 1, 2020 and thereafter shall be apportioned to the member towns in the following manner: First, each Town shall be assessed its minimum contribution. Second, the sum of any operating costs remaining after the minimum contributions of each town have been accounted for shall be apportioned on the basis of the towns’ respective pupil enrollments in the regional District School. This shall be determined by computing the ratio which that town’s average pupil enrollment in the District School on October 1 of each of the five years next preceding the year for which the apportionment is to be determined bears to the total average pupil enrollment from all member towns in the regional District School for the same five year period. (Note: If a member town does not have five years of pupil enrollment in the District, then the calculation shall be based upon the number of years that pupils from that Town attended the District’s school irrespective of membership in the District) (note: pre-K enrollment will be included in the calculation beginning in FY21 and will include the data from October 1, 2017 and October 1, 2018). In the event that enrollment in the regional District School has not been accomplished by October 1 of any year, operating costs shall be apportioned on the basis of enrollment in grades pre-kindergarten through six of pupils residing in each member town and receiving education at such town’s expense on October 1 of that year.

Apportionment of Operating Costs. Operating costs shall be apportioned to the member towns, and the share of each town for the ensuing fiscal year shall be determined by computing that town’s average ratio of resident pupil enrollment in the District school for the preceding five years. Each town’s ratio of resident pupil enrollment shall mean the ratio that each member town’s resident pupil enrollment in the regional Ddistrict school bears to the total resident pupil enrollment of all the member towns in the regional district school for that year on October 1. Average ratio of resident pupil enrollment shall mean the average of the annual ratios for each member town over the preceding five years. In the event that enrollment in the regional district school has not been accomplished by October 1 of the current year, then the average ratio will be computed on the basis of enrollment in grades seven through twelve of pupils residing in each member town and enrolled in the District schoolreceiving education at such town’s expense on said October 1. This provision does not have a retroactive application; averaging the ratio of pupil enrollment will be phased in as follows: FY 2011: based on pupil enrollment figures from October 1 of 2009; FY 2012: based on the average of pupil enrollment figures from October 1 of 2009 and 2010; FY 2012: based on the average of pupil enrollment figures from October 1 of 2009, 2010, and 2011; FY 2012: based on the average of pupil enrollment figures from October 1 of 2009 through 2012; FY 2012: based on the average of pupil enrollment figures from October 1 of 2009 through 2013; Thereafter the formula for cost sharing will be based on the average of October 1 pupil enrollment figures from the most recent five calendar years available at the time of budget preparation. Pursuant to the applicable provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, the amounts apportioned shall be adjusted by aid, other than school construction aid, received directly by the regional school Ddistrict.
