        257.36  SPECIAL EDUCATION SUPPORT SERVICES BALANCES.

         Notwithstanding chapters 256B and 273 and sections of this chapter
      relating to the moneys available to area education agencies for
      special education support services, for each school year, the
      department of education may direct the department of management to
      deduct amounts from the portions of school district budgets that fund
      special education support services in an area education agency.  The
      total amount deducted in an area shall be based upon excess special
      education support services unreserved and undesignated fund balances
      in that area education agency for a school year as determined by the
      department of education.  The department of management shall
      determine the amount deducted from each school district in an area
      education agency on a proportional basis.  The department of
      management shall determine from the amounts deducted from the
      portions of school district budgets that fund area education agency
      special education support services the amount that would have been
      local property taxes and the amount that would have been state aid
      and for the next following budget year shall increase the district's
      total state school aid available under this chapter for area
      education agency special education support services and reduce the
      district's property tax levy for area education agency special
      education support services by the amount necessary for the property
      tax portion of the deductions made under this section during the
      budget year.
         The amount deducted from a school district's budget shall not
      affect the calculation of the state cost per pupil or its district
      cost per pupil in that school year or a subsequent year.
