37-131-7 - Allocation of minimum education program and state public school building funds. - Mississippi Statutes

§ 37-131-7. Allocation of minimum education program and state public school building funds.
 

When any pupils shall attend any demonstration or practice school under the provisions of Section 37-131-3, such children shall be reported and accounted for the allocation of minimum education program funds and state public school building funds just as though such children were attending the regular schools of the district in which they reside. For this purpose, reports shall be made to the school district involved by the demonstration or practice school of the number of pupils in average daily attendance, and the average daily attendance of such children shall thereupon be included in reports made to the state board of education and the state educational finance commission by the county or school district under the provisions of Chapters 19 and 47 of this title. 
 

Allocation of minimum education program funds shall be made by the state board of education for such children just as though such children were attending the regular schools of the district. All minimum education program funds, except funds allocated for transportation costs, which accrue to any district as a result of such children who are in attendance at a demonstration or practice school shall be paid by the board of trustees of the municipal separate school district or by the county board of education to the demonstration or practice school, and shall be used to defray the cost and expense of maintaining, operating and conducting such demonstration or practice school. 
 

All state public school building funds which accrue as a result of such children in attendance at a demonstration or practice school shall be credited directly to such demonstration or practice school, and all of the provisions of Chapter 47 of this title shall be fully applicable thereto.
