(3) The state and local funds expended in the program shall be accounted for separately from all other funds expended by the city or parish school board. Expenditures shall be reported as a categorical program in the manner prescribed by the state board.
(4) The program shall be coordinated with locally funded or federally funded, or both, remedial education programs, but shall remain as a separate remedial program to be funded by the state.
