Primary responsibility and accountability for provision of appropriate community support for persons who would otherwise require long-term state hospital care shall reside with the mental health program and the regional support networks, with partnership and active support from the alcohol and substance abuse and from the aging and adult services programs.

Such strategies may include training and technical assistance to community long-term care and substance abuse providers; the development of diversion beds and stabilization support teams; examination of state hospital policies regarding admissions; and the development of new contractual standards to assure that the statutory requirement that 85 percent of short-term detentions be managed locally is being fulfilled.

The new formula shall be phased in over a period of no less than six years. Furthermore, the department shall increase the medicaid capitation rates which a regional support network would otherwise receive under the formula by an amount sufficient to assure that total funding allocated to the regional support network in fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003 is not less than the total funding that would have been received in those years under the methodology known as the historical distribution, and provided that the nonfederal share of the higher medicaid payment rate is provided by the regional support network from local funds.

The department shall increase medicaid payments to the regional support network by the amount necessary to cover the necessary and allowable costs of the demonstration, not to exceed the upper payment limit specified for the regional support network in the department's medicaid waiver agreement with the federal government after meeting all other medicaid spending requirements assumed in this subsection. The regional support network shall provide the department with (i) periodic reports on project service levels, methods, and outcomes; and (ii) an intergovernmental transfer equal to the state share of the increased medicaid payment provided for operation of this project.

Awards shall be made to districts that convincingly demonstrate need due to the concentration and/or severity of disabilities in the district.

General fund‑-state funds shall not be expended for this purpose.
(12) The superintendent shall maintain the percentage of federal flow-through to school districts at 85 percent. In addition to other purposes, school districts may use increased federal funds for high-cost students, for purchasing regional special education services from educational service districts, and for staff development activities particularly relating to inclusion issues.
(13) A maximum of $1,000,000 of the general fund‑-federal appropriation is provided for projects to provide special education students with appropriate job and independent living skills, including work experience where possible, to facilitate their successful transition out of the public school system.

The superintendent shall distribute state funds directly to the national guard youth challenge program based on the program's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment as determined under section 502(9) of this act, multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection (6)(c) of this section, multiplied by the program's average basic education allocation under section 502(9) of this act per full-time equivalent student, multiplied by 0.9309.
(17) A school district may carry over from one year to the next year up to 10 percent of general fund‑-state funds allocated under this program; however, carryover funds shall be expended in the special education program.
