2. On first business day of November: 25% of the year charge based on the number of students enrolled on the first business day of August. If a district exceeds the August 1 billing number, 75% of year charge shall be billed for those students exceeding the August 1 billed number.
3. On first business day of February: 25% of the year charge based on the number of students enrolled on the first business day of August. If a district exceeds the November 1 billing number prior to the beginning of the second semester, the district will be billed 100% of the year charge for all students exceeding the number billed on November 1. If the district exceeds the number enrolled at the end of the first semester, the district will be billed 100% of a semester charge (1/2 the year charge) for students enrolled second semester.
