  1 24 revenue and finance and the area education agency of
  1 25 its action by February 1.  Beginning with the fiscal

  1 27 1991, and in succeeding years, the The department of
  1 28 revenue and finance shall pay the approved budget
  1 29 amount for an area education agency in monthly
  1 30 installments beginning September 15 and ending June 15
  1 31 of the next succeeding school year.  The installments
  1 32 shall be as nearly equal as possible as determined by
  1 33 the department of management, taking into
  1 34 consideration the relative budget and cash position of
  1 35 the state's resources.  The department of revenue and
  1 36 finance shall transfer the approved budget amount for
  1 37 an area education agency from the moneys appropriated
  1 38 under section 257.16 and make the payment to the area

  2 11 of the school district bears to the total budget
  2 12 enrollment in the state for that budget year in which
  2 13 the deduction is made.
  2 14    b.  A child who lives in a facility or home

  2 29 the secretary of the school district may submit a
  2 30 claim to the department of education by August 1
  2 31 following the school year for an amount equal to the
  2 32 district cost per pupil of the district for the
  2 33 previous school year multiplied by the difference
  2 34 between the number of children counted and the number
  2 35 of children calculated by the number of months of
  2 36 enrollment.  The amount of the claim shall be paid by
  2 37 the department of revenue and finance to the school
  2 38 district by October 1.  The department of revenue and
  2 39 finance shall transfer the total amount of the
  2 40 approved claim of a school district from the moneys

  3  6 weighted enrollment of any district pursuant to
  3  7 section 256B.9, and the payment pursuant to subsection
  3  8 2, paragraph "a" was not made by any district.  The
  3  9 district shall submit a proposed program and budget to

  3 27 state.  The portion of the total amount of the
  3 28 approved claims that shall be deducted from the state
  3 29 aid of a school district shall be the same as the

  3 32 enrollment in the state for the budget year in which
  3 33 the deduction is made.  The department of revenue and
