1 32 costs per pupil for the base year are greater than one
1 33 hundred twenty-five percent of the state average
1 34 transportation costs per pupil for the base year, the

1 38 enrollment for the budget year.
1 39 5. There is appropriated from the general fund of
1 40 the state to the department of education, for each
1 41 fiscal year, an amount necessary to pay transportation
