the current year by two (2) years divided by three (3).
(B) The school corporation's ADM for the year preceding
the current year by one (1) year divided by three (3).

divided by three (3).
STEP TWO: Determine the school corporation's ADM for the
current year.
STEP THREE: Determine the greater of the following:
(A) The STEP ONE result.
(B) The STEP TWO result.
(b) A charter school's adjusted ADM for purposes of this article
is the charter school's current ADM.
