1.6 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 126C.05, subdivision 8, is amended to read:
1.7 		Subd. 8.Average daily membership. (a) Membership for pupils in grades 
1.8 	kindergarten through 12 and for prekindergarten pupils with disabilities shall mean the 
1.9 	number of pupils on the current roll of the school, counted from the date of entry until 
1.10 	withdrawal. The date of withdrawal shall mean the day the pupil permanently leaves 
1.11 	the school or the date it is officially known that the pupil has left or has been legally 
1.12 	excused. However, a pupil, regardless of age, who has been absent from school for 15 
1.13 	consecutive school days during the regular school year or for five consecutive school days 
1.14 	during summer school or intersession classes of flexible school year programs without 
1.15 	receiving instruction in the home or hospital shall be dropped from the roll and classified 
1.16 	as withdrawn. Nothing in this section shall be construed as waiving the compulsory 
1.17 	attendance provisions cited in section 120A.22. Average daily membership equals the 
1.18 	sum for all pupils of the number of days of the school year each pupil is enrolled in the 
1.19 	district's schools divided by the number of days the schools are in session. Days of 
1.20 	summer school or intersession classes of flexible school year programs are only included 
1.21 	in the computation of membership for pupils with a disability not appropriately served 
1.22 	primarily in the regular classroom. Except as provided in paragraph (c), a student must 
1.23 	not be counted as more than 1.2 pupils in average daily membership under this section. 
1.24 	When the initial total average daily membership exceeds 1.2 for a pupil enrolled in more 
2.1 	than one school district during the fiscal year, each district's average daily membership 
2.2 	must be reduced proportionately. 
2.3 	(b) A student must not be counted as more than one pupil in average daily 
2.4 	membership except for purposes of section 126C.10, subdivision 2a. 
2.5 	(c) The Department of Education annually must calculate the statewide average 
2.6 	length of the school year in minutes. A school district's average daily membership for each 
2.7 	pupil for extended time revenue under section 126C.10, subdivision 2a, equals: (1) the 
2.8 	lesser of 0.2; or (2) the difference between (i) the actual minutes of instruction received by 
2.9 	that student and (ii) the statewide average minutes of instruction for the previous year. A 
2.10 	pupil's average daily membership for extended time revenue must not be less than zero.

2.11 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for revenue for fiscal year 2009.

2.13 		Subd. 2a.Extended time revenue. (a) A school district's extended time revenue is 
2.14 	equal to the product of $4,601 and the sum of the adjusted marginal cost pupil units of 
2.15 	the district for each pupil in average daily membership in excess of 1.0 and less than 1.2
2.16 	according to section 126C.05, subdivision 8, paragraph (c). 
2.17 	(b) A school district's extended time revenue may be used for extended day 
2.18 	programs, extended week programs, summer school, and other programming authorized 
2.19 	under the learning year program.
