Sec. 20m.
(1) Foundation allowance supplemental payments for the current fiscal year to districts that in the immediately preceding fiscal year had a foundation allowance greater than the target foundation allowance must be calculated under this section.
(2) The per-pupil allocation to each district under this section is the difference between the dollar amount of the adjustment from the immediately preceding fiscal year to the current fiscal year in the target foundation allowance minus the dollar amount of the adjustment from the immediately preceding fiscal year to the current fiscal year in a qualifying district's foundation allowance.
(3) If a district's local revenue per pupil does not exceed the sum of its foundation allowance under section 20 plus the per-pupil allocation under subsection (2), the total payment to the district calculated under this section is the product of the per-pupil allocation under subsection (2) multiplied by the district's membership, excluding special education pupils. If a district's local revenue per pupil exceeds the foundation allowance under section 20 but does not exceed the sum of the foundation allowance under section 20 plus the per-pupil allocation under subsection (2), the total payment to the district calculated under this section is the product of the difference between the sum of the foundation allowance under section 20 plus the per-pupil allocation under subsection (2) minus the local revenue per pupil multiplied by the district's membership, excluding special education pupils. If a district's local revenue per pupil exceeds the sum of the foundation allowance under section 20 plus the per-pupil allocation under subsection (2), there is no payment calculated under this section for the district.
(4) Payments to districts must not be made under this section. Rather, the calculations under this section are used to determine the amount of state payments that are made under section 22b.
(5) As used in this section, "qualifying district" means a district where the millage limitation in section 1211(3) of the revised school code, MCL 380.1211, is applied due to the increase in the target foundation allowance from the immediately preceding fiscal year to the current fiscal year exceeding the percentage increase in the general price level in the immediately preceding calendar year applied to the district's immediately preceding fiscal year foundation allowance.
