Notwithstanding section 15-249.08, subsection B, paragraph 2, Arizona Revised Statutes, for fiscal year 2022-2023, the department of education shall distribute monies from the results-based funding fund established by section 15-249.08, Arizona Revised Statutes, as follows:

 

1. Each school operated by a school district or charter holder shall receive $225 per student count from the fund if both of the following apply:

 

(a) At the time the test prescribed in subdivision (b) of this paragraph was administered, fewer than sixty percent of the students who were enrolled in the school met the eligibility requirements established under the national school lunch and child nutrition acts (42 United States Code sections 1751 through 1793) for free or reduced-price lunches, or an equivalent measure recognized for participating in the federal free and reduced-price lunch program and other school programs dependent on a poverty measure, including the community eligibility provision for which free and reduced-price lunch data is not available.

 

(b) In results achieved during the spring of 2021, the school performed in the top thirteen percent of all schools statewide as demonstrated by the average percentage of students who obtained a passing score on the mathematics portions of the statewide assessment and the average percentage of students who obtained a passing score on the language arts portions of the statewide assessment.

 

2. Each school operated by a school district or charter holder shall receive $400 per student count from the fund if both of the following apply:

 

(a) At the time the test prescribed in subdivision (b) of this paragraph was administered, sixty percent or more of the students who were enrolled in the school met the eligibility requirements established under the national school lunch and child nutrition acts (42 United States Code sections 1751 through 1793) for free or reduced-price lunches, or an equivalent measure recognized for participating in the federal free and reduced-price lunch program and other school programs dependent on a poverty measure, including the community eligibility provision for which free and reduced-price lunch data is not available.

 

(b) In results achieved during the spring of 2021, the school performed in the top thirteen percent of schools pursuant to subdivision (a) of this paragraph, as demonstrated by the average percentage of those students who obtained a passing score on the mathematics portions of the statewide assessment and the average percentage of students who obtained a passing score on the language arts portions of the statewide assessment.

 

3. Each school operated by a school district or charter holder shall receive $225 per student count from the fund if both of the following apply:

 

(a) At the time the test prescribed in subdivision (b) of this paragraph was administered, sixty percent or more of the students who were enrolled in the school met the eligibility requirements established under the national school lunch and child nutrition acts (42 United States Code sections 1751 through 1793) for free or reduced-price lunches, or an equivalent measure recognized for participating in the federal free and reduced-price lunch program and other school programs dependent on a poverty measure, including the community eligibility provision for which free and reduced-price lunch data is not available.

 

(b) In results achieved during the spring of 2021, the school performed in the top twenty-seven percent but not in the top thirteen percent of schools pursuant to subdivision (a) of this paragraph, as demonstrated by the average percentage of those students who obtained a passing score on the mathematics portions of the statewide assessment and the average percentage of students who obtained a passing score on the language arts portions of the statewide assessment.

 

4. Each alternative high school shall receive $400 per student count from the fund if in the results achieved during testing conducted in the spring of 2021 the school performed in the top twenty-seven percent of schools identified pursuant to paragraph 3, subdivision (a) of this section, as demonstrated by the average percentage of those students who obtained a passing score on the mathematics portions of the statewide assessment and the average percentage of students who obtained a passing score on the language arts portions of the statewide assessment. An alternative high school is eligible for funding under this paragraph only if it reports the average percentage of students who obtained a passing score on both the mathematics portions of the statewide assessment and the language arts portions of the statewide assessment during testing conducted in the spring of 2021.

 

Result Based Funding Expenditure Reporting

Please refer to ARS 15-249.08:

 

C. Any monies received from the results-based funding fund by a school district or charter holder shall be separately accounted for in the school district's or charter holder's annual financial report and shall not supplant monies budgeted or received from any other source that are generally provided to that school.

 

D. The majority of the monies received from the fund by a school district or charter holder shall be used at the school that earned the results for teacher salaries, to hire teachers, for school leader salaries, for classroom supplies and for other strategies to sustain outcomes for students at that school. A portion of the monies received from the fund by a school district or charter holder may be used for expanding and replicating that school site as a quality school model.    For the purposes of this subsection, "expanding and replicating" means:

 

1. Providing for costs associated with adding seats and serving more students at the awarded school site, including students on a waiting list.

 

2. Mentoring school leaders and teachers from other sites to replicate the model and instructional practices that show results in closing the achievement gap.

 

3. Physically expanding the results-based funding model or strategies at another location to improve academic outcomes at that location and to accelerate academic growth.

 

E. Schools that are not results-based funded and that receive funding or support as described in subsection D, paragraphs 2 and 3 of this section are eligible to receive that funding or support for not more than three years.

 

F. On or before November 1 of each year, each school that received results-based funding in the prior fiscal year shall submit to the department of education a report that provides a brief description of how the dollars were allocated pursuant to subsections C and D of this section.  Each school that is not results-based funded but that received funding pursuant to subsection E of this section shall submit a report to the department that specifically indicates the number of years the school has received that funding. On or before December 1 of each year, the department of education shall compile the reports from each local education agency and provide that information to the joint legislative budget committee, the governor's office of strategic planning and budgeting and the chairpersons of the education committees of the house of representatives and the senate, or their successor committees.

 

G. For the purposes of this section, only students who are eligible to be included in a school's student count shall be considered in determining that school's percentages of free or reduced-price lunch students or other poverty indicators.
