(A) Students who have previously dropped out of school;

(B) Students who are in a regular day time school who have previously failed courses; or

(C) A combination of students described in subparagraph (A) of this paragraph and subparagraph (B) of this paragraph.

(2) "Course" means an instructional course for which a program count is permissible under Code Section 20-2-160.

(3) "FTE" or "full-time equivalency" means the program cost obtained under the method described in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Code Section 20-2-160.

(4) "Student" means a person who is otherwise eligible to be included in a program count under Code Section 20-2-160.

(b) Four or more local school systems which jointly establish any after-school program for at-risk students shall be eligible to receive a state grant, not to exceed $225,000.00 per year, which is equal to the amount of direct instructional costs which would be earned by students described in subparagraph (a)(1)(B) of this Code section if they were enrolled in equivalent courses in the remedial education program during the school day and counted as FTE students under the method described in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Code Section 20-2-160.
