     124D.87 Interdistrict desegregation or integration 
  transportation grants. 

    (a) A district that provides transportation of pupils to 
 and from an interdistrict program for desegregation or 
 integration purposes may apply to the commissioner for a grant 
 to cover the additional costs of transportation.  

    (b) A district in the metropolitan area may apply to the 
 commissioner for a grant to cover the costs of transporting 
 pupils who are enrolled under section 124D.03 if the enrollment 
 of the student in the nonresident district contributes to 
 desegregation or integration purposes.  The commissioner shall 
 develop the form and manner of applications, the criteria to be 
 used to determine when transportation is for desegregation or 
 integration purposes, and the accounting procedure to be used to 
 determine excess costs.  In determining the grant amount, the 
 commissioner shall consider other revenue received by the 
 district for transportation for desegregation or integration 
 purposes. 

    (c) Grants may be awarded under paragraph (b) only if 
 grants awarded under paragraph (a) have been fully funded.
