STEP TWO: Determine the result of the school corporation's current ADM for the year minus the STEP ONE amount.

STEP THREE: Determine the result of:

(A) the foundation amount; multiplied by

(B) the STEP TWO amount.

STEP FOUR: Determine the result of:

(A) the STEP ONE amount; multiplied by

(B) eighty-five percent (85%) of the foundation amount.

STEP SEVEN: This STEP applies only to a school corporation that has at least eighteen percent (18%) of its ADM eligible for the English language learners program and that experienced a percentage decrease of at least forty-five percent (45%) in the school corporation's complexity index for the school year ending in 2017 compared to the school corporation's complexity index for the current school year. For such a school corporation determine the result of:

(A) the school corporation's current ADM; multiplied by

(B) one hundred twenty-eight dollars ($128).
