127A.46 CHANGE IN PAYMENT OF AIDS AND CREDITS.

If the commissioner of management and budget determines that modifications in the payment schedule would reduce the need for state short-term borrowing, the commissioner shall modify payments to districts according to this section. The modifications must begin no sooner than September 1 of each fiscal year, and must remain in effect until no later than May 30 of that same fiscal year. In calculating the payment to a district pursuant to section 127A.45, subdivision 3, the commissioner may subtract the sum specified in that subdivision, plus an additional amount no greater than the following:

(1) the net cash balance in each of the district's operating funds on June 30 of the preceding fiscal year; minus

(2) the product of $150 times the number of resident pupil units in the preceding fiscal year; minus

(3) the amount of payments made by the county treasurer during the preceding fiscal year, pursuant to section 276.11, which is considered revenue for the current school year. However, no additional amount shall be subtracted if the total of the net unappropriated fund balances in the district's four operating funds on June 30 of the preceding fiscal year, is less than the product of $350 times the number of resident pupil units in the preceding fiscal year. The net cash balance must include all cash and investments, less certificates of indebtedness outstanding, and orders not paid for want of funds.

A district may appeal the payment schedule established by this section according to the procedures established in section 127A.45, subdivision 4.
