RULES FOR
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PUBLIC 
SCHOOL FINANCE ACT OF 1994

2254-R-1.00 Statement of Basis and Purpose
The basis for these Rules amended on March 6, 2003 is found in Article 54 of Title 22, C.R.S., and in Article 2 of Title 22, C.R.S. The State Board has the responsibility to establish Rules and regulations to implement these provisions of these Articles.

The purpose of these Rules is to:

Establish regulations and procedures for administration of the Public School Finance Act of 1994, including the procedures for revocation or withholding of school district accreditation for Act violations, determination of district pupil membership and enrollment and district at-risk funding, and assignment of cost of living factors in the event of district reorganizations.

Assure the pupil count associated with the Public School Finance Act of 1994 fairly distributes funding to school districts to provide continuing instructional services.

Establish regulations and procedures regarding out-of-district-placed pupils and coordinate the collection of per pupil operating revenues with approval of facilities as on-grounds schools.

Coordinate these rules with regulations governing the administration of the Exceptional Children Educational Act (article 20 of Title 54, C.R.S.).

Coordinate these rules to comply with the Article 35.5 under Title 22, C.R.S., to allow eligible school districts time to establish programs beginning in FY2007-08.
