Calculation of average number belonging (ANB) -- three-year averaging. (1)
Average number belonging (ANB) must be computed for each budget unit as follows:
(a) compute an average enrollment by adding a
count of regularly enrolled full-time pupils who were enrolled as of the first Monday in October
of the prior school fiscal year to a count of regularly enrolled pupils on February 1 of the prior
school fiscal year, or the next school day if those dates do not fall on a school day, and divide the
sum by two; and
(b) multiply the average enrollment calculated
in subsection (1)(a) by the sum of 180 and the approved pupil-instruction-related days for the
current school fiscal year and divide by 180.
(2) For the purpose of calculating ANB under
subsection (1), up to 7 approved pupil-instruction-related days may be included in the
calculation.
(3) When a school district has approval to
operate less than the minimum aggregate hours under 20-9-806, the total ANB must be calculated in accordance
with the provisions of 20-9-805.
(4) (a) Except as provided in subsection (5), for
the purpose of calculating ANB, enrollment in an education program:
(i) from 181 to 359 aggregate hours of pupil
instruction per school year is counted as one-quarter-time enrollment;
(ii) from 360 to 539 aggregate hours of pupil
instruction per school year is counted as half-time enrollment;
(iii) from 540 to 719 aggregate hours of pupil
instruction per school year is counted as three-quarter-time enrollment; and
(iv) 720 or more aggregate hours of pupil
instruction per school year is counted as full-time enrollment.
(b) Enrollment in a program intended to
provide fewer than 180 aggregate hours of pupil instruction per school year may not be included
for purposes of ANB.
(c) Enrollment in a self-paced program or
course may be converted to an hourly equivalent based on the hours necessary and appropriate to
provide the course within a regular classroom schedule.
(d) A pupil in grades 1 through 12 who is
concurrently enrolled in more than one public school, program, or district may not be counted as
more than one full-time pupil for ANB purposes.
(5) In calculating the ANB for pupils enrolled
in a program established under 20-7-117(1), enrollment in
a program that provides 360 or more aggregate hours of pupil instruction per school year must be
counted as one-half pupil for ANB purposes.
(6) When a pupil has been absent, with or
without excuse, for more than 10 consecutive school days, the pupil may not be included in the
enrollment count used in the calculation of the ANB unless the pupil resumes attendance prior to
the day of the enrollment count.
(7) The enrollment of prekindergarten pupils,
as provided in 20-7-117, may not be included in the ANB
calculations.

(a) (i) a school of the district is located more
than 20 miles beyond the incorporated limits of a city or town located in the district and at least
20 miles from any other school of the district, the number of regularly enrolled, full-time pupils
of the school must be calculated as a separate budget unit for ANB purposes and the district must
receive a basic entitlement for the school calculated separately from the other schools of the
district;
(ii) a school of the district is located more than
20 miles from any other school of the district and incorporated territory is not involved in the
district, the number of regularly enrolled, full-time pupils of the school must be calculated
separately for ANB purposes and the district must receive a basic entitlement for the school
calculated separately from the other schools of the district;
(iii) the superintendent of public instruction
approves an application not to aggregate when conditions exist affecting transportation, such as
poor roads, mountains, rivers, or other obstacles to travel, or when any other condition exists that
would result in an unusual hardship to the pupils of the school if they were transported to another
school, the number of regularly enrolled, full-time pupils of the school must be calculated
separately for ANB purposes and the district must receive a basic entitlement for the school
calculated separately from the other schools of the district; or
(iv) two or more districts consolidate or annex
under the provisions of 20-6-422 or 20-6-423, the ANB and the basic entitlements of the
component districts must be calculated separately for a period of 3 years following the
consolidation or annexation. Each district shall retain a percentage of its basic entitlement for 3
additional years as follows:
