Budget Considerations for Type 03 Districts
Basic state aid formula funding is calculated in accordance with statute based on the grade levels in which a school district or charter is approved to provide instruction. For most elementary school districts that are not within a high school district (type 03 districts), formula funding is only calculated for kindergarten through 8th grade. High School students in type 03 districts, including SPED/ELL student counts, are funded based on the tuition amount charged by the attending district in accordance with ARS 15-824.
