The appropriations in this section are subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(1) Each general fund‑-state fiscal year appropriation includes such funds as are necessary to complete the school year ending in the fiscal year and for prior fiscal year adjustments.
(2) The superintendent of public instruction shall distribute state funds to school districts based on two categories: The optional birth through age two program for special education eligible developmentally delayed infants and toddlers, and the mandatory special education program for special education eligible students ages three to twenty-one. A "special education eligible student" means a student receiving specially designed instruction in accordance with a properly formulated individualized education program.
(3) For the 1999-00 and 2000-01 school years, the superintendent shall distribute state funds to each district based on the sum of:
(a) A district's annual average headcount enrollment of developmentally delayed infants and toddlers ages birth through two, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student, multiplied by 1.15; and
(b) A district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment multiplied by the funded enrollment percent determined pursuant to subsection (4)(c) of this section, multiplied by the district's average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student multiplied by 0.9309.
(4) The definitions in this subsection apply throughout this section.
(a) "Average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student" for a district shall be based on the staffing ratios required by RCW 28A.150.260 and shall not include enhancements, secondary vocational education, or small schools.
(b) "Annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment" means the resident enrollment including students enrolled through choice (RCW 28A.225.225) and students from nonhigh districts (RCW 28A.225.210) and excluding students residing in another district enrolled as part of an interdistrict cooperative program (RCW 28A.225.250).
(c) "Enrollment percent" means the district's resident special education annual average enrollment including those students counted under the special education demonstration projects, excluding the birth through age two enrollment, as a percent of the district's annual average full-time equivalent basic education enrollment. For the 1999-00 and the 2000-01 school years, each district's funded enrollment percent shall be the lesser of the district's actual enrollment percent for the school year for which the allocation is being determined or 12.7 percent.
(5) At the request of any interdistrict cooperative of at least 15 districts in which all excess cost services for special education students of the districts are provided by the cooperative, the maximum enrollment percent shall be 12.7, and shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units. For purposes of this subsection, the average basic education allocation per full-time equivalent student shall be calculated in the aggregate rather than individual district units.
(6) A maximum of $12,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2000 and a maximum of $12,000,000 of the general fund‑-state appropriation for fiscal year 2001 are provided as safety net funding for districts with demonstrated needs for state special education funding beyond the amounts provided in subsection (3) of this section.

Awards shall be based on the amount required to maintain the 1994-95 state special education excess cost allocation to the school district in aggregate or on a dollar per funded student basis.
(b) The committee shall then consider unusual needs of districts due to a special education population which differs significantly from the assumptions of the state funding formula. Awards shall be made to districts that convincingly demonstrate need due to the concentration and/or severity of disabilities in the district. Differences in program costs attributable to district philosophy or service delivery style are not a basis for safety net awards.
(c) The maximum allowable indirect cost for calculating safety net eligibility may not exceed the federal restricted indirect cost rate for the district plus one percent.
(d) Safety net awards shall be adjusted based on the percent of potential medicaid eligible students billed as calculated by the superintendent in accordance with Substitute Senate Bill No. 5626 (medicaid payments to schools).
(e) Safety net awards must be adjusted for any audit findings or exceptions related to special education funding.
(7) The superintendent of public instruction may adopt such rules and procedures as are necessary to administer the special education funding and safety net award process. Prior to revising any standards, procedures, or rules, the superintendent shall consult with the office of financial management and the fiscal committees of the legislature.

funds provided by this subsection shall be from federal discretionary grants.
(12)
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, carry over funds shall be expended in the special education program.
(13)
The superintendent shall maintain the percentage of federal flow-through to
school districts at 85 percent. In addition to other purposes, school

expended by the superintendent for projects related to use of inclusion
strategies by school districts for provision of special education services.
