1660-
1661-Public Act No. 23-1 36 of 63
1662-
1663-contribution paid by such board in accordance with the provisions of
1664-this subsection. Any amounts paid by the State Board of Education on a

1674-the cost in February and the balance in May. The amount due each town
1675-pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall be paid to the
1676-treasurer of each town entitled to such aid, provided the treasurer shall
1677-treat such grant, or a portion of the grant, which relates to special
1678-education expenditures incurred in excess of such town's board of
1679-education budgeted estimate of such expenditures, as a reduction in
1680-expenditures by crediting such expenditure account, rather than town
1681-revenue. Such expenditure account shall be so credited no later than
1682-thirty days after receipt by the treasurer of necessary documentation
1683-from the board of education indicating the amount of such special
1684-education expenditures incurred in excess of such town's board of
1685-education budgeted estimate of such expenditures.
1686-(c) Commencing with the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996, and for

1689-(h) of section 10-76f, for the fiscal year prior to the year in which the
1690-grant is to be paid to (2) the product of its total need students, as defined
1691-in section 10-262f, and the average regular program expenditures, as
1692-defined in section 10-262f, per need student for all towns for such year

1695-
1696-Public Act No. 23-1 37 of 63
1697-
1698-equal to the product of a town's eligible excess costs and the town's base
1699-aid ratio, as defined in section 10-262f, provided each town's grant shall
1700-be adjusted proportionately if necessary to stay within the
1701-appropriation. Payment pursuant to this subsection shall be made in
1702-June. For purposes of this subsection, a town's eligible excess costs are
1703-the difference between its net costs of special education and the amount
1704-the town would have expended if it spent at the state-wide average rate.
1705-(d) Notwithstanding [the provisions of this section] any provision of
1706-the general statutes, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, and each
1707-fiscal year thereafter, if the total of the amount of the grants payable to

1713-any fiscal year exceeds the amount appropriated for the purposes of
1714-[this section] the grants described in subdivisions (1) to (3), inclusive, of
1715-this subsection for such fiscal year, then each town shall be ranked in
1716-descending order from one to one hundred sixty-nine according to such
1717-town's adjusted equalized net grand list per capita, as defined in section
1718-10-261, and the state board shall pay such grant to the local or regional
1719-board of education for a town as follows: [(1)] (A) For any town ranked
1720-one hundred fifteen to one hundred sixty-nine, inclusive, [seventy-six
1721-and one-quarter] ninety-one per cent of the amount of such town's
1722-eligible excess costs, [(2)] (B) for any town ranked fifty-nine to one
1723-hundred fourteen, inclusive, [seventy-three] eighty-eight per cent of the
1724-amount of such town's eligible excess costs, and [(3)] (C) for any town
1725-ranked one to fifty-eight, inclusive, [seventy] eighty-five per cent of the
1726-amount of such town's eligible excess costs. In the case of a regional
1727-board of education, such ranking shall be determined by [(A)] (i)
1728-multiplying the total population, as defined in section 10-261, of each
1729-town in the regional school district by such town's ranking, as House Bill No. 6671
1730-
1731-Public Act No. 23-1 38 of 63
1732-
1733-determined in this subsection, [(B)] (ii) adding together the figures
1734-determined under [subparagraph (A)] clause (i) of this [subdivision]
1735-subparagraph, and [(C)] (iii) dividing the total computed under
1736-[subparagraph (B)] clause (ii) of this [subdivision] subparagraph by the
1737-total population of all towns in the district. The ranking of each regional
1738-board of education shall be rounded to the next higher whole number.
1739-If the total amount of the grants payable to local and regional boards of
1740-education calculated under subparagraphs (A) to (C), inclusive, of this
1741-subsection in any fiscal year exceeds the total amount appropriated for
1742-the grants described in subdivisions (1) to (3), inclusive, of this
1743-subsection for such fiscal year, the amount of the grants payable under
1744-this subsection shall be reduced proportionately.
1745-(e) (1) For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, and each fiscal year
1746-thereafter, if the total amount appropriated in any fiscal year for the
1747-grants described in subdivisions (1) to (3), inclusive, of subsection (d) of
1748-this section exceeds the total of the amount of the grants payable to local
1749-and regional boards of education under subsection (d) of this section,
1750-for such fiscal year, such excess amount shall be distributed to each local
1751-and regional board of education as follows:
1752-(A) Subtract the sum of all grants paid to local and regional boards of
1753-education in such fiscal year under subsection (d) of this section from
1754-the sum of all grants calculated under subsections (a) to (c), inclusive, of
1755-this section, subdivision (2) of subsection (e) of section 10-76d, as
