1 10 dollars, or so much thereof as is necessary, to be
1 11 awarded by the committee to school districts with
1 12 limited English proficient student instruction program
1 13 costs which, in the judgment of the committee, are

1 15 limited English proficient student instruction
1 16 programs in the state. Amounts awarded shall be in
1 17 addition to any supplemental aid or modified allowable
1 18 growth provided to a school district pursuant to

1 21 proficient student instruction program may submit an

1 23 education, for assistance pursuant to this subsection
1 24 to the school budget review committee by November 1 of
1 25 the school year in which the school district seeks
1 26 assistance. In making awards, the committee shall
1 27 consider the size, diversity, and enrollment trends of
1 28 the school district, the relative economic wealth and
1 29 property tax base of the school district in comparison
1 30 to other applying school districts, and the efforts
1 31 the school district has undertaken to develop and
1 32 monitor limited English proficient student
1 33 assimilation into the school district population.
1 34 Preference shall be given to school districts which
1 35 have previously received or are currently receiving
1 36 supplemental aid or modified allowable growth from the
1 37 committee for a limited English proficient student
1 38 instruction program pursuant to subsection 3 and which
1 39 have a limited English proficient student enrollment

1 41 English proficient student instruction program
1 42 enrollments in the state, as determined by the
1 43 department of management.
1 44 c. Assistance payments shall be made to school
1 45 districts receiving an award in the manner provided in
1 46 section 257.16, beginning with a December 15 payment,
1 47 with the exception that funds shall be expended solely
1 48 for purposes related to limited English proficient
1 49 student program instruction. Notwithstanding section
1 50 8.33, the moneys appropriated in subsection 1 that
2 1 remain unencumbered and unobligated at the close of
2 2 the fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund
2 3 but shall remain available for expenditure for the
2 4 purposes designated during the succeeding fiscal
2 5 year."
