32   subtracting funds received from other sources for that

33   purpose, shall be funded annually on a basis of one-
34   fourth or more from the district cost of the school
35   district and up to three-fourths by an increase 
in
36   allowable growth as defined in section 257.8. 
The

children
38   program shall not exceed an amount equal 
to one and
39   twenty-four-hundredths percent of the district cost
40   per pupil of the district for the base 
year multiplied
41   by the budget enrollment of the district 
for the
42   budget year.  Annually, the department of 
management
43   shall establish a modified allowable growth 
for each
44   such district equal to the difference between 
the
45   approved budget for the gifted and talented 
children
46   program for that district and the sum of 
the amount
47   funded from the district cost of the 
school district
48   plus funds received from other sources.
49     2.  The remaining portion of the budget shall be
50   funded by the thirty-eight dollar increase in

 2   July 1, 1999, increased by the growth of the regular
 3   program district cost each year, or by modified
 4   allowable growth received from the school budget
 5   review committee, pursuant to the applicable
 6   provisions of section 257.8.  School districts shall
 7   annually report the amount expended for a gifted and
 8   talented program to the department of education.  The
 9   proportion of a school district's budget which
10   corresponds to the thirty-eight dollar increase in
11   allowable growth for the school budget year beginning
12   July 1, 1999, if applicable, or the modified allowable
13   growth, added to the amount in subsection 1, shall be
14   utilized exclusively for a school district's talented
15   and gifted program.
16     3.  If any portion of the gifted and talented
17   program budget remains unexpended at the end of the
18   budget year, the part of the remainder equal to the
19   proportion of the original budget which was 
funded by
20   an increase in allowable growth, as defined 
in section
21   257.8, shall be carried over to the subsequent budget
22   year and added to the gifted and talented program
23   budget for that year.
24     Sec. ___.  1989 Iowa Acts, chapter 135, section
