257.20 - INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT STATE AID APPROPRIATION.

        257.20  INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT STATE AID
      APPROPRIATION.
         1.  In order to determine the amount of instructional support
      state aid and the amount of local funding for the instructional
      support program for a district, the department of management shall
      divide the total assessed valuation in the state by the total budget
      enrollment for the budget year in the state to determine a state
      assessed valuation per pupil and shall divide the assessed valuation
      in each district by the district's budget enrollment for the budget
      year to determine the district assessed valuation per pupil.  The
      department of management shall multiply the ratio of the state's
      valuation per pupil to the district's valuation per pupil by
      twenty-five hundredths and subtract that result from one to determine
      the portion of the instructional support program budget that is local
      funding.  The remaining portion of the budget shall be funded by
      instructional support state aid.  However, for the budget year
      beginning July 1, 1992, only, the amount of state aid is three and
      one-quarter percent less than the amount computed under this
      paragraph for that budget year.
         2.  There is appropriated for each fiscal year from the general
      fund of the state to the department of education, an amount necessary
      to pay instructional support state aid as determined under subsection
      1.
         a.  However, moneys appropriated under this subsection shall
      not exceed the amount of moneys appropriated as instructional support
      state aid for the budget year which commenced on July 1, 1992.
         b.  If the amount appropriated under this subsection is
      insufficient to pay the amount of instructional support state aid
      determined under subsection 1, the department of education shall
      prorate the amount of the instructional support state aid provided to
      each district.
         3.  If the general assembly makes an appropriation for
      instructional support state aid in lieu of the standing appropriation
      provided under subsection 2, the appropriation for instructional
      support state aid shall include in the appropriation the allocation
      of the instructional support state aid to the school districts
      applicable for that appropriation and subsections 1 and 2 do not
      apply to the appropriation.
         4.  Instructional support state aid shall be paid at the same time
      and in the same manner as foundation aid is paid under section
      257.16.
