AN ACT
Allowing a school district to correct certain overstatements of average daily membership over a three‑year period.
(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. School district overstatements of average daily membership; correction; interest
A. Notwithstanding sections 15-905 and 15-915, Arizona Revised Statutes, a school district that overstated its average daily membership during fiscal years 2006‑2007, 2007‑2008 and 2008‑2009 shall be required to correct the overstatement over a three‑year period beginning in fiscal year 2013-2014 and ending in fiscal year 2015‑2016. The repayment amount shall be paid in equal installments in each of the three fiscal years. This subsection applies to a school district if all of the following conditions exist:
1. The school district is a unified school district that is located in a county that shares a border with Mexico.
2. The school district's average daily membership for the 2010-2011 school year was less than four hundred fifty pupils.
3. The overstatement was the result of the school district counting students in its average daily membership that were not eligible to be included in the school district's average daily membership, as reflected by an audit published by the department of education in May 2010.
4. The total amount of the overstatement, as reflected in a settlement agreement executed between the school district and the department of education, is more than five hundred thousand dollars but less than seven hundred thousand dollars.
B. In addition to monies required to be repaid pursuant to subsection A of this section, accrued interest must be paid at a rate determined by the superintendent of public instruction.
C. The governing board of a school district to which this section applies shall adopt a formal resolution to comply with this section and, if requested by the department of education, submit to annual average daily membership audits.
Sec. 2. Emergency
This act is an emergency measure that is necessary to preserve the public peace, health or safety and is operative immediately as provided by law.
