    Subdivision 1.    Elective outcomes.  Elective outcomes

 that are not defined as basic outcomes.  The standards of 
 achievement of elective outcomes are determined by the local 
 school board. 

    Subd. 2.    Revenue.  Elective instructional revenue is 
 equal to the elective instructional revenue allowance times the 
 number of pupil units for the school year.  The revenue 
 allowance for fiscal year 2000 and thereafter is zero. 

    Subd. 3.    Levy.  Elective instructional levy is equal 
 to elective instructional revenue times the lesser of one or the 
 ratio of: 

    (1) net tax capacity divided by the number of pupil units 
 for the year the revenue is attributable, divided by 

    (2) the equalizing factor. 

    Subd. 4.    Aid.  Elective instructional aid is equal to 
 elective instructional revenue minus elective instructional
