Overview
Minimum School Program (MSP) funds are allocated based on formulas provided by the
Minimum School Program Act (Utah Code 53A-17a), most of which rely on prior year Average
Daily Membership (ADM), which is derived from aggregate membership plus a growth factor
which is derived from fall enrollment counts.
Aggregate membership and enrollment records are submitted for each student by Local
Education Agencies (LEAs) to Utah State Board of Education as electronic text files
via the Utah eTranscript and Record Exchange (UTREx) at year end for the prior year
and in the fall as of the first day in October.
Because most MSP funds are based on data received through UTREx submissions, it is
important that this data and all pupil accounting be correct.
Utah State Board Rules and Utah State Board of Education policy and procedures for
apportioning and distributing funds can be found on the Legal and Technical Standards
portion of this web page.
