Chapter 11 - School District Tax Levies
Section 13-11-10 - Weighted average tax levy of receiving districts.

13-11-10. Weighted average tax levy of receiving districts.
In implementing the terms of §13-11-9, a separate weighted average tax levy of the receiving districts shall be calculated for agricultural property, owner-occupied single-family dwelling property, and for nonagricultural property for each sending school district as follows:
(1)The levy per thousand dollars of taxable valuation for agricultural property for each receiving school district shall be multiplied by the number of children from the sending school district to whom the receiving school district is providing educational services;
(2)Add together the products from subdivision (1) for each receiving school district;
(3)Divide the sum from subdivision (2) by the total number of students that the contracting school district is sending to the receiving school districts pursuant to §13-15-1.3. The quotient is the weighted average tax levy per one thousand dollars of taxable valuation for agricultural property;
(4)The weighted average tax levy per thousand dollars of taxable valuation for owner-occupied single-family dwellings and nonagricultural property shall be obtained by repeating the procedure outlined in subdivisions (1) to (3), inclusive, for each class of property; and
(5)The sum of the levies assessed for all funds in the sending district shall be equal to or greater than the sum of all levies for all funds in the receiving district.
The above calculations do not include students receiving educational services from an out-of-state school district nor the tax levy of any out-of-state school district.
