2. If the pupil first attended a nonresident school after the 3rd Friday in September, the school district in which the pupil resided when the pupil began attending the nonresident school district shall be the resident school district for purposes of the full-time open enrollment program and shall be responsible for the open enrollment payment for the pupil for the remainder of that school year.

(3)   Calculation of open enrollment payment.

(a) The open enrollment payment applies to each pupil who attends a nonresident school district under the full-time open enrollment program.

The days of enrollment are calculated as follows:

1. The number of days, not to exceed 180, school was in session from the first day of the school term to the last day the pupil attended the nonresident school district under open enrollment, inclusive of both the first and last days, if one of the following applies:

a. The pupil was in attendance in the nonresident school district on the 3rd Friday in September.

(c) If, during the school term, the pupil's IEP team determines that a pupil no longer requires special education services, the nonresident district shall notify the resident district. The open enrollment payment for the pupil shall be calculated as the sum of the following:

1. The amount under s. 118.51 (17) , Stats., divided by 180 and multiplied by the number of days the pupil was receiving special education services in the nonresident district.

2. The amount under s. 118.51 (16) , Stats., divided by 180 and multiplied by the number of days the pupil was not receiving special education services in the nonresident district.
