  1.11     Subd. 7.  [SHARED TIME AID.] Aid for shared time pupils 
  1.12  must equal the formula allowance times the full-time equivalent 
  1.13  resident pupil units served for shared time pupils residing in 
  1.14  Minnesota.  Aid for shared time pupils is in addition to any 
  1.15  other aid to which the district is otherwise entitled.  Shared 
  1.16  time average daily membership may not be used in the computation 
  1.17  of pupil units under section 126C.05, subdivision 1, for any 
  1.18  purpose other than the computation of shared time aid pursuant 
  1.19  to subdivisions 6 to 8 and section 126C.19, subdivisions 1 to 3.

  2.1   shared time program is located must provide authorized 
  2.2   transportation to the pupil within the attendance area of the 
  2.3   school that the pupil attends.  The resident district need not 
  2.4   provide or pay for transportation between the pupil's residence 
  2.5   or nonpublic school and the district's border.  If a pupil child 
  2.6   with a disability under sections 125A.03 to 125A.24 attends 
  2.7   shared time classes in another Minnesota district, the district 
  2.8   of attendance may bill the resident district must pay to the 
  2.9   district of attendance an amount of tuition equal to the ratio 
  2.10  in section 126C.01, subdivision 6, times the amount of tuition 
  2.11  that would be charged and paid for a nonresident public school 
  2.12  pupil in a similar circumstance according to section 125A.11 for 
  2.13  any unreimbursed education costs, but not for transportation 
  2.14  costs.  The district of residence is not obligated for tuition 
  2.15  except by previous agreement.
