3. The superintendent of public instruction shall impute an average daily membership for

each school district that does not include a high school and use the imputed average

daily membership to determine the school district size weighting factor under this

section. To determine the imputed average daily membership, the superintendent of

public instruction shall divide the school district's average daily membership by 0.60.

4. The school district size weighting factor determined under this section and multiplied

by a school district's weighted average daily membership equals the district's weighted

student units. For school districts that operate multiple kindergarten through grade

twelve buildings at least fourteen miles [22.53 kilometers] apart, or multiple buildings at

least fourteen miles [22.53 kilometers] apart with no replicated grades, the

superintendent of public instruction shall determine the school size weighting factor for

each building separately, with no adjustment for elementary schools. The

superintendent of public instruction shall multiply the school size weighting factor for

each building by the school district's weighted average daily membership to determine

each building's weighted student units. The superintendent of public instruction shall

combine the weighted student units of all buildings in the school district to determine

the school district's weighted student units.

5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the school district size weighting factor

assigned to a district may not be less than the factor arrived at when the highest

number of students possible in average daily membership is multiplied by the school

district size weighting factor for the subdivision immediately preceding the district's

actual subdivision and then divided by the district's average daily membership.
