2. The rate of reimbursement to local school districts for specialized courses of instruction designed to keep high school pupils from dropping out of school shall be determined on the basis of eight thousand eighty-three dollars for each full-time teacher who teaches such a course which is approved by the state department of elementary and secondary education.

3. A local school district shall be eligible for additional state aid, subject to appropriation therefor, for a program of alternative education programs for pregnant teens and teen mothers who are enrolled as pupils in the district. Such programs may include specialized courses of instruction established pursuant to subsection 1 of this section and such supplemental services as the district may establish within guidelines set by the state board of education to enable teen mothers to complete high school. For these supplemental services a district may accept funds from federal, local and private sources as may be available. Two or more districts may form a consortium to offer these supplemental services. A district which is not a member of a consortium and which does not offer these services may contract with a district which does. Such a district offering such services may waive all or a portion of the tuition for such a pupil.
