Section A. Section 163.087 as enacted by conference committee substitute for house committee substitute for senate substitute for senate committee substitute for senate bill no. 287, ninety-third general assembly, first regular session, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 163.087, to read as follows:
163.087. 1. Except as provided in subsection 4 of this section, money in the school district trust fund shall be distributed to each school district in the state in the same ratio that the weighted average daily attendance in the district bears to the total weighted average daily attendance in all such school districts for the preceding year[, except as otherwise provided in section 163.031].
2. In addition, each such district which is providing an approved program for pupils residing on federal lands shall receive an amount which shall be determined as follows: weighted average daily attendance or eligible pupils, whichever is applicable for the specified year, for [pupils] students residing on federal lands shall be calculated separately for the district in the manner provided in section 163.011, treating such [pupils] students as residents of the district for this purpose. Such weighted average daily attendance or eligible pupils, whichever is applicable for the specified year, shall be multiplied by one-half of the amount to be received by the district, pursuant to this subsection, per weighted average daily attendance or eligible pupils, whichever is applicable for the specified year, not residing on federal lands.
[2.] 3. Money in the fund shall be distributed monthly. The state board of education shall certify the amounts to be distributed to the several school districts to the commissioner of administration who shall issue the warrants therefor.
[3.] 4. Money received by a school district from the school district trust fund shall be deemed to be local tax revenue derived for the same fiscal year in which the money is received for the teachers' and incidental funds. In the calculation of state aid for the district under the provisions of section 163.031, one-half the amount received by the district in the [first preceding] 2004-2005 year shall be included in local effort as provided in [section 163.031.] subsection 10 of section 163.011.
5. (1) For purposes of this subsection only, "eligible pupils" means the sum of the average daily attendance, as defined in section 163.011, of the school term plus the product of two times the average daily attendance for summer school.
(2) In the 2006-2007 school year and each school year thereafter for five years, moneys in the school district trust fund shall be distributed to each school district in the state in the following manner:
(a) For the 2006-2007 school year, fifteen percent shall be distributed in accordance with subsection 1 of this section and eighty-five percent shall be distributed to each school district in the state in the same ratio that the number of eligible pupils in the district bore to the total number of eligible pupils in all such school districts in the 2005-2006 school year;
(b) For the 2007-2008 school year, thirty percent shall be distributed in accordance with subsection 1 of this section and seventy percent shall be distributed to each school district in the same ratio that the number of eligible pupils in the district bore to the total number of eligible pupils in all such school districts in the 2005-2006 school year;
(c) For the 2008-2009 school year, forty-four percent shall be distributed in accordance with subsection 1 of this section and fifty-six percent shall be distributed to each school district in the same ratio that the number of eligible pupils in the district bore to the total number of eligible pupils in all such school districts in the 2005-2006 school year;
