AB21,1243,15 (a) The department may not include the following pupils or pupil assessment scores:

AB21,1243,18 a. A pupil who attended a private school under the program under s. 118.60 or 119.23 in the 8th grade and who transfers to a public school, including a charter school, for the 9th grade.

AB21,1243,21 b. A pupil who was enrolled in a public school, including a charter school, in the 8th grade and who transfers to a private school under the program under s. 118.60 or 119.23 for the 9th grade.

AB21,1243,23 c. A pupil, other than a pupil enrolled in the 9th grade, who was enrolled in the school or school district for less than one year prior to taking the pupil assessment.

AB21,1244,2 (b) 1. Subject to subd. 2., if the department uses pupil assessment scores to determine a school's performance or a school district's improvement, the department shall account for the length of time a pupil was enrolled in the school or school district prior to taking the pupil assessment by weighting pupil assessment scores as follows:

AB21,1244,4 a. For a pupil who was enrolled in the school or school district for at least one year but less than 2 years prior to taking the pupil assessment, multiply by 1.

AB21,1244,6 b. For a pupil who was enrolled in the school or school district for at least 2 years but less than 3 years prior to taking the pupil assessment, multiply by 2.

AB21,1244,8 c. For a pupil who was enrolled in the school or school district for more than 3 years prior to taking the pupil assessment, multiply by 3.

AB21,1244,11 2. The department may not, for purposes of determining a school's performance, account for the length of time a 9th grade pupil was enrolled in the school.

AB21,1244,20 (c) The department shall consider the impact of poverty on pupil achievement and growth by adjusting the importance given to the measures under sub. (1) (a) 1. and 1m. based on the percentage of pupils in the school or school district who are economically disadvantaged. In this paragraph, an economically disadvantaged pupil is a pupil that satisfies either the income eligibility criteria for a free or reduced-price lunch under 42 USC 1758 (b) (1) or other measures of poverty, as determined by the department. Of the total weight the department allocates to the measures under sub. (1) (a) 1. and 1m. for the purpose of determining a school's performance or a school district's improvement, the department shall do as follows:

AB21,1244,23 1. If 5 percent or less of the school or school district membership is comprised of economically disadvantaged pupils, weight the measure under sub. (1) (a) 1. at 90 percent and the measure under sub. (1) (a) 1m. at 10 percent.

AB21,1245,3 2. If 65 percent or more of the school or school district membership is comprised of economically disadvantaged pupils, weight the measure under sub. (1) (a) 1. at 10 percent and the measure under sub. (1) (a) 1m. at 90 percent.

AB21,1245,6 3. If the percentage of economically disadvantaged pupils in the school or school district membership is more than 5 percent but less than 65 percent, the department shall determine the weight of the measures under sub. (1) (a) 1. as follows:

AB21,1245,7 a. Divide 80 by 60.

AB21,1245,9 b. Multiply the quotient determined under subd. 3. a. by the percentage of economically disadvantaged pupils in the school or school district membership.

AB21,1245,10 c. Add 3.35 to the result under subd. 3. b.

AB21,1245,15 4. If the percentage of economically disadvantaged pupils in the school or school district membership is more than 5 percent but less than 65 percent, the department shall determine the weight of the measures under sub. (1) (a) 1m. by subtracting the weight given to the measures under sub. (1) (a) 1. as determined under subd. 3. from 100.
