(b) For each economically disadvantaged pupil counted in membership in a district, the
weighted pupil membership for that district must be increased as follows:
(i) For the purpose of this subparagraph, the department shall determine the number of
pupils in membership who are economically disadvantaged as the greatest of the following:
(A) The number of membership pupils in the district who are determined to be
economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed
by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership count day of the
immediately preceding fiscal year.
(B) If the district is in the community eligibility program, the number of pupils determined
to be eligible based on the product of the identified student percentage multiplied by the
total number of pupils in the district, as reported to the center in the form and manner
prescribed by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership
count day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. These calculations must be made at the
building level. This sub-subparagraph applies only to an eligible district for the fiscal year
immediately following the first fiscal year in which it is in the community eligibility
program. As used in this sub-subparagraph, "identified student percentage" means the
quotient of the number of pupils in an eligible district who are determined to be
economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in a form and manner prescribed by
the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership count day in the
fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year in which the eligible district is in the community
eligibility program, divided by the total number of pupils counted in an eligible district on
the pupil membership count day in the fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year in which the
eligible district is in the community eligibility program.
(C) If the district began operations as a district after the pupil membership count day of the
current fiscal year, the number of membership pupils in the district who are determined to
be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed
by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the supplemental count day of the
current fiscal year.
(D) If, for a particular fiscal year, the number of membership pupils in a district who are
determined under sub-subparagraph (A) to be economically disadvantaged or to be eligible
based on the identified student percentage varies by more than 20 percentage points from
the number of those pupils in the district as calculated under sub-subparagraph (A) for the
immediately preceding fiscal year caused by an egregious reporting error by the district, the
department may choose to have the calculations under sub-subparagraph (A) instead be
made using the number of membership pupils in the district who are determined to be
economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed
by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the supplemental count day of the
immediately preceding fiscal year.
(ii) Each district or public school academy must be assigned an opportunity index score
each fiscal year, the value of which is the quotient of the number of economically
disadvantaged pupils as determined under this subdivision for the district or public school
academy and the total number of pupils in the district or public school academy in the
immediately preceding fiscal year, multiplied by 100 and rounded up to the nearest whole
number. Each district or public school academy must be assigned an opportunity index
band as follows:
(A) A district with an opportunity index score greater than or equal to zero but less than 20
must be assigned to band 1 and shall receive an additional weighted pupil membership of at
least 0.1994 and not more than 0.2051 for each economically disadvantaged pupil. The
additional weighted pupil membership under this sub-subparagraph must be an amount
equal to the district's opportunity index score minus 1, multiplied by the band adjustment
factor applicable to this sub-subparagraph, plus 0.1994 multiplied by the number of pupils
identified as economically disadvantaged under this sub-subparagraph. The additional
weighted pupil membership under this sub-subparagraph must be increased as follows until
it reaches between 0.35 and 0.36 per economically disadvantaged pupil:
(I) For 2027-2028, a district assigned to band 1 must receive an additional weighted pupil
membership of at least 0.2101 and not more than 0.2162 for each economically
disadvantaged pupil.

must be assigned to band 2 and shall receive an additional weighted pupil membership of at
least 0.2051 and not more than 0.2136 for each economically disadvantaged pupil. The
additional weighted pupil membership under this sub-subparagraph must be an amount
equal to the district's opportunity index score minus 20, multiplied by the band adjustment
factor applicable to this sub-subparagraph, plus 0.2051 multiplied by the number of pupils
identified as economically disadvantaged under this sub-subparagraph. The additional

multiplied by the target foundation allowance for the following, as applicable:
(a) Except as otherwise provided under subdivision (b), (c), or (d) the greater of the following:
(i) The number of membership pupils in the district or public school academy who are determined
to be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the form and manner prescribed by
the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership count day of the
immediately preceding fiscal year.
(ii) If the district or public school academy is in the community eligibility program, the number of
pupils determined to be eligible based on the product of the identified student percentage
multiplied by the total number of pupils in the district or public school academy, as reported to the
center in the form and manner prescribed by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the
pupil membership count day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. These calculations must be
made at the building level. This subparagraph only applies to an eligible district or eligible public
school academy for the fiscal year immediately following the first fiscal year in which it is in the
community eligibility program. As used in this subparagraph, "identified student percentage"
means the quotient of the number of pupils in an eligible district or eligible public school academy
who are determined to be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in a form and
manner prescribed by the center, not later than the fifth Wednesday after the pupil membership
count day in the fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year in which the eligible district or eligible
public school academy is in the community eligibility program, divided by the total number of
pupils counted in an eligible district or eligible public school academy on the pupil membership
count day in the fiscal year preceding the first fiscal year in which the eligible district or eligible

center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the supplemental count day of the current fiscal
year.
(d) If, for a particular fiscal year, the number of membership pupils in a district or public school
academy who are determined under subdivision (a) to be economically disadvantaged or to be
eligible based on the identified student percentage varies by more than 20 percentage points from
the number of those pupils in the district or public school academy as calculated under subdivision
(a) for the immediately preceding fiscal year caused by an egregious reporting error by the district
or public school academy, the department may choose to have the calculations under subdivision
(a) instead be made using the number of membership pupils in the district or public school
academy who are determined to be economically disadvantaged, as reported to the center in the
form and manner prescribed by the center not later than the fifth Wednesday after the supplemental
count day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.
(4) Each district or public school academy must be assigned an opportunity index score each
fiscal year, the value of which is the quotient of the number of economically disadvantaged pupils
as determined under subsection (3) for the district or public school academy and the total number
of pupils in the district or public school academy in the immediately preceding fiscal year,
multiplied by 100 and rounded up to the nearest whole number. Each district or public school
academy must be assigned an opportunity index band as follows:
