• Effective: October 3, 2023
• Latest Legislation: House Bill 33 - 135th General Assembly

(A)(1) Subject to division (C) of this section, for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, the department of education and workforce shall pay temporary transitional aid to each city, local, and exempted village school district according to the following formula:

(The district's funding base, as that term is defined in section 3317.02 of the Revised Code) - (the district's payment under section 3317.022 of the Revised Code - the district's payment for supplemental targeted assistance under section 3317.0218 of the Revised Code for the fiscal year for which each payment is computed)

If the computation made under division (A)(1) of this section results in a negative number, the district's funding under division (A)(1) of this section shall be zero.

(2) For fiscal years 2024 and 2025, the department shall pay temporary transitional transportation aid to that district according to the following formula:

(The amount calculated for the district for fiscal year 2020 under division (A)(2) of Section 265.220 of H.B. 166 of the 133rd general assembly, prior to any funding reductions authorized by Executive Order 2020-19D, "Implementing Additional Spending Controls to Balance the State Budget" issued on May 7, 2020) - (the district's payment for fiscal year 2019 under division (D)(2) of section 3314.091 of the Revised Code as that division existed prior to September 30, 2021) - (the district's payment under section 3317.0212 of the Revised Code for the fiscal year for which the payment is computed)

If the computation made under division (A)(2) of this section results in a negative number, the district's funding under division (A)(2) of this section shall be zero.

(B) If a local school district participates in the establishment of a joint vocational school district that begins receiving payments under section 3317.16 of the Revised Code for fiscal year 2024 or fiscal year 2025, but does not receive payments for the fiscal year immediately preceding that fiscal year, the department shall adjust, as necessary, the district's funding base, as that term is defined in section 3317.02 of the Revised Code, according to the amounts received by the district in the immediately preceding fiscal year for career-technical education students who attend the newly established joint vocational school district.

(C)(1) For purposes of division (C) of this section, a district's "decrease threshold" for a fiscal year is the greater of the following:

(a) Twenty;

(b) Ten per cent of the number of the district's students counted under division (A)(1)(b) of section 3317.03 of the Revised Code for the previous fiscal year.

(2) For fiscal years 2024 and 2025, if a district has fewer students counted under division (A)(1)(b) of section 3317.03 of the Revised Code for that fiscal year than for the previous fiscal year and the positive difference between those two student counts is greater than or equal to the district's decrease threshold for that fiscal year, the amount paid to the district under division (A) of this section shall be reduced by the following amount:

The statewide average base cost per pupil X [(the positive difference between the number of the district's students counted under division (A)(1)(b) of section 3317.03 of the Revised Code for that fiscal year and the number of the district's students counted under that division for the previous fiscal year) - the district's decrease threshold for that fiscal year]

At no time, however, shall the amount paid to a district under division (A) of this section be less than zero.
