21     1.  If a district's actual enrollment for the
22   budget year, determined under section 257.6, is
23   greater than its budget enrollment for the budget
24   year, the district may submit a request to the school
25   budget review committee for on-time funding for
26   increased enrollment.  The school budget review
27   committee shall consider the relative increase in
28   enrollment on a district-by-district basis, in
29   determining whether to approve the request, and shall
30   determine the amount of additional funding to be
31   provided if the request is granted.  An application
32   for on-time funding must be received by the department
33   of education by October 1.  Written notice of the
34   committee's decision shall be given through the
35   department of education to the school board for a
36   district.
37     2.  If the school budget review committee approves
38   a request for on-time funding for increased
39   enrollment, the funding shall be in an amount up to
40   the product of one-third of the state cost per pupil
41   for the budget year multiplied by the difference
42   between the actual enrollment for the budget year and
43   the budget enrollment for the budget year.  The
44   additional funding received under this section is
45   miscellaneous income to the district.

47   purposes of this section shall be paid to school

 4   payments to school districts receiving approval for
 5   on-time funding shall be prorated such that each
 6   school district approved for on-time funding shall
 7   receive an amount of on-time funding equal to the
 8   percentage that the on-time funding to be provided to
 9   the district bears to the total amount of on-time
10   funding to be provided to all districts receiving
11   approval.
12     4.  If the board of directors of a school district
13   determines that a need exists for additional funds
14   exceeding the amount provided in this section, a
15   request for supplemental aid based upon increased
16   enrollment may be submitted to the school budget
17   review committee as provided in section 257.31.
