121.07(1) (1)Basis for statistics.
121.07(1)(a)(a) The membership of the school district in the previous school year and the shared cost for the previous school year shall be used in computing general aid. If a school district has a state trust fund loan as a result of s. 24.61 (3) (c) 2., the school district's debt service costs shall be based upon current school year costs for the term of the loan and for one additional school year.
121.07(1)(b) (b) If the school district valuation is increased or decreased due to an alteration in school district boundaries before the 3rd Friday in September, the estimated shared cost for the current school year and the estimated mill levy rate shall be based on the school district equalized valuation of the territory comprising the altered school district.
121.07(1)(c) (c) If an order of school district reorganization under ch. 117 is not effective due to litigation until after the 3rd Friday in September but takes effect before April 1 of the current school year, state aid for any affected school district for the first year of operation shall be computed after the order takes effect using calculations by the state superintendent of the number of pupils enrolled and teacher-pupil ratio for the territory in the affected school district, which shall be made as if the school district had been in existence on the 3rd Friday in September.

In this paragraph, "net cost of the debt service fund" includes all of the following amounts:
121.07(6)(a)1. 1. If a school board makes an expenditure from a capital expansion fund created under s. 120.10 (10m), an amount determined by dividing the expenditure by the number of years in which the school district levied a tax for the capital project. This subdivision applies for the number of years equal to the number of years in which the school district levied a tax for the capital project.
121.07(6)(a)2. 2. The annual cost of leasing a school or other school district facility if the lease provides for construction of the school or facility and the lease either provides that ownership of the school or facility transfers to the school district at the termination of the lease or provides an option for such a transfer.

(a) for the purpose of computing state aid paid under s. 121.08 in the 1997-98 to 2000-01 school years, if a school district's equalized valuation exceeds its tertiary guaranteed valuation, the department shall deduct an amount equal to the following percentages of the amount received by the school district under s. 121.85 (6) (b) 3. in the 1995-96 school year that is in addition to the amount received by the school district under s. 121.85 (6) (b) 2. in that school year:
