Sec. 2. A school corporation is entitled to a small school performance grant as provided in this chapter for a calendar year beginning after December 31, 2010.
Sec. 3. The amount of the small school performance grant to which a school corporation is entitled in a calendar year is equal to the result determined under the last STEP of the following formula:
STEP ONE: Determine the result of:
(A) the number of students enrolled in the school corporation who received a score on the ISTEP program test for mathematics and the ISTEP program test for English/language arts in the immediately preceding calendar year that exceeded the minimum passing score established by the state board for each of these ISTEP program tests; divided by
(B) the number of students enrolled in the school corporation that took both the ISTEP program test for mathematics and the ISTEP program test for English/language arts in the immediately preceding calendar year;
rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001).
STEP TWO: Determine the greater of zero (0) or the result of:
(A) the STEP ONE result; minus
(B) seven-tenths (0.7).
STEP THREE: Determine the result of:
(A) the STEP TWO result; multiplied by
(B) one hundred (100).
STEP FOUR: Determine the result of:
(A) the STEP THREE result; multiplied by
(B) forty-three dollars ($43).
STEP FIVE: Determine the result of:
(A) the STEP FOUR result; multiplied by
(B) the current ADM of the school corporation.
