"(dd) $12,825,000 of the Washington state opportunity pathways account-state is provided solely for support to small school districts and public schools receiving allocations under chapters 28A.710 and 28A.715 RCW that have less than 800 enrolled students and received less general fund revenues per pupil than the statewide general fund revenues per pupil in the 2020-21 school year. For eligible school districts and schools, the superintendent of public instruction must allocate an amount equal to the lesser of (i) or (ii) of this subsection multiplied by the school district or school's enrollment in the 2020-21 school year.

(i) The state local effort assistance threshold in RCW 28A.500.015 in the 2022 calendar year.

(ii) The statewide general fund revenues per pupil in the 2020-21 school year minus the school district or school's general fund revenues per pupil in the 2020-21 school year."
