(B) The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education shall distribute state foundation funding aid to each school district in twelve (12) monthly payments. (2) (A) For the 2023-2024 school year, the foundation funding amount is equal to seven thousand six hundred eighteen dollars ($7,618) multiplied by the school district's average daily membership for the previous school year. (B) For the 2024-2025 school year and each school year thereafter, the foundation funding amount is equal to seven thousand seven hundred seventy-one dollars ($7,771) multiplied by the school district's average daily membership for the previous school year.

(B) Any funding appropriated and available for declining enrollment funding under subdivision (a)(3)(A)(i) of this section or special needs isolated funding under § 6-20-604 that is not distributed under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of this section shall be prorated and distributed equally per average lost student to school districts that meet the qualifications for both declining enrollment funding under subdivision (a)(3)(A)(i) of this section and special needs isolated funding under § 6-20-604 . (C) No school district shall receive both declining enrollment funding under subdivision (a)(3)(A)(i) of this section and student growth funding under subsection (c) of this section. (4) (A) (i) Except as provided in subdivisions (a)(4)(C) and (D) of this section, by the end of each school fiscal year, for a school district whose net revenues are less than the sum of ninety-eight percent (98%) of the uniform rate of tax multiplied by the property assessment of the school district, the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education shall distribute to the school district the difference between: (a) The net revenues distributed to the school district as reported under § 26-80-101(b)(4)(A)(ii) for the calendar year immediately preceding the current school year; and (b) The sum of ninety-eight percent (98%) of the uniform rate of tax multiplied by the property assessment of the school district.
