    The superintendent of public instruction shall adopt rules to meet clearly demonstrable extraordinary funding needs beyond the level provided in the state-funded program for handicapped children.  The procedures and standards shall permit relief for a school district only if a district can at least demonstrate that:

    (1) Student characteristics and costs of providing program services in the district differ significantly from the assumptions of the state handicapped funding formula;

    (2) Individualized education plans are properly and efficiently prepared and formulated;

    (3) The district is making a reasonable effort to provide program services for handicapped children within funds generated by the state funding formula;

    (4) District programs are operated in a reasonably efficient manner;

    (5) No indirect costs are charged against the handicapped program; and

    (6) Any available federal funds are insufficient to address the additional needs.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1206.  The sum of two million nine hundred thousand dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, is appropriated for the biennium ending June 30, 1995, from the general fund to the superintendent of public instruction for the purposes of section 1205 of this act."
