handle is hein.sag/sagaz0022 and id is 1 raw text is: STATE OF ARIZONA OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL GRANT WOODS MAIN PHONE: 542-5025 ATTORNEY GENERAL 1275 WEST WASHINGTON, PHOENIX 85007-2926 TELECOPIER 542-4085 January 16, 1998 Gary L. Lassen, Esq. Jennings, Strouss & Salmon, P.L.C. One Renaissance Square Two North Central Avenue Phoenix, Arizona 85004-2393 RE: 198-001 (R97-051) Dear Mr. Lassen: Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes Annotated (A.R.S.) § 15-253(B), we revise your July 15, 1997 opinion' to the Assistant Superintendent for Business Services at the Glendale Union High School District concerning whether certain statutory amendments in 1996 alter the formula that a school district must use to calculate an adjusted student count for additional State aid when a district participating in the dropout prevention program wants to make budgetary adjustments for growth under A.R.S. § 15-948. We find the specific formula that the Legislature established in 1992 Ariz. Sess. Laws ch. 62, § 10 for computing an adjusted student count for these school districts remains unchanged. Therefore, participating school districts must compute their adjusted student count pursuant to the specified formula. Background In 1987, when the Legislature enacted the dropout prevention program, it established a specific formula for computing the adjusted student count for school districts that adjusted for growth in student count pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-948. 1987 Ariz. Sess. Laws ch. 333, § 2. Over the years, that formula has been amended, but never repealed.? Currently, it requires that: This Office received your opinion on November 19, 1997. Pursuant to A.RS. § 15-253(B), we have until January 20, 1998 to concur, revise, or decline to review the opinion. 2 Section 15-948, A.R.S., allows eligible school districts to increase their revenue control limits, district support levels, revise their budgets, and receive additional state aid based on growth in student count. Although the Legislature amended A.R.S. § 15-948 in 1996, it did not change the student count provision in subsection (A)(1). 3 In 1992, the Legislature indefinitely extended the dropout prevention program until money became available to fully fund the program statewide. 1992 Ariz. Sess. Laws ch. 305, § 32.
