in the 1982-83 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, an
amount equal to the actual current expenses of the program, but not

   (1) Compute the prior year statewide average revenue limit per
unit of average daily attendance for adults, increased by the amount
specified in Section 52616.16 for the current fiscal year.
   (2) Multiply the amount computed in paragraph (1) by the average
daily attendance of the schools or classes in the current fiscal
