Calculations for Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching Program Priority List

(1) For each Funding Cycle, the Department shall provide State Matching Grants to Districts from designated resources in the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching Account. The Department shall determine and apportion the amount of available resources among the Funding Cycles in each biennium. The total amount of State Matching Grant funds available and awarded by the Department may vary during each Funding Cycle.
(2) The Department shall post on its website the amounts that will be available for OSCIM Grants for each Funding Cycle within a reasonable time after the Legislature determines the level of funding for the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching Account.
(3) If the Legislature does not determine the amount of funding for the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching Account until after the application period opens for a given Funding Cycle, the application period will run as normal. However, any posting of results will be delayed until such time as the Legislature determines the amount of funding for the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching Account.
(4) If the Legislature does not appropriate any funds for the OSCIM Program for a biennium, or any part of the biennium, then the OSCIM Program will cancel open application periods and future application periods until funding is restored.
(5) Sixty percent (60%) of designated grant resources in the Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching Account shall be awarded based on the Priority List.
(6) The Priority List shall be based on a District’s Assessed Value, Percentage of Students in Poverty, and Average Daily Membership.
(7) The Department shall update the Priority List every biennium. The Priority List will be updated no later than June 1 before the start of the next biennium. The updated Priority List will be effective at the start of the next biennium. To update the list, the Department will use the data from the most recent year for which all three sources have reported actual data.
(8) The Priority List shall be calculated as follows:
(a) The District’s Students in Poverty shall be multiplied by twenty (20) to determine the Weighted Number of Students in Poverty.
(b) The District’s Weighted Number of Students in Poverty shall be divided by the District’s Adjusted ADMr to arrive at the District’s Percentage of Students in Poverty.
(c) The District’s Assessed Value shall be divided by the District’s Adjusted ADMw to determine the District’s Assessed Property Value per ADM.
(d) The District’s Assessed Property Value per ADM shall then be divided by one (1) plus the Percentage of Students in Poverty to determine the District’s Adjusted Assessed Value per ADM.
(e) The Districts will be ranked from the lowest Adjusted Assessed Property Value per ADM to the highest.
