managers may sell investments and realize losses if such action is 
considered advantageous to longer -term return maximization. 
C.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, income and 
investment return on the principal of each individual account shall 
accrue to such account. 
D.  For each fiscal year, the State Treasurer shall 
electronically submit a report to each school district for which an

school year shall not decrease by an amount more than the amount 
that the current chargeable revenue increases for that district.

one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of the total funds appropr iated 
for financial support of schools, to be used to make midyear 
adjustments in State Aid and which shall be reflected in the final 
allocations.  If the amount of appropriated funds, including the one 
and one-half percent (1 1/2%) retained, remaining aft er January 1 of 
each year is not sufficient to fully fund the final allocations, the 
Department shall recalculate each school district ’s remaining 
allocation pursuant to subsection D of this section using the 
reduced amount of appropriated funds. 
C.  On and after July 1, 1997, the amount of State Aid each 
district shall receive shall be the sum of the Foundation Aid, the 
Salary Incentive Aid, and the Transportation Supplement, as adjusted 
pursuant to the provisions of subsection G of this section and 
Section 18-112.2 of this title; provided, no district having per 
pupil revenue in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the 
average per pupil revenue of all districts shall receive any State 
Aid or Supplement in State Aid. 
The July calculation of per pupil r evenue shall be determined by 
dividing the district ’s second preceding year ’s total weighted 
average daily membership (ADM) into the district ’s preceding year’s 
total revenues excluding federal revenue, insurance loss payments,

nine (9) weeks of the current school year or the 
preceding school year of a school district, as 
determined by the provisions of subsection A of
