1 23 of education shall notify the board of directors of
1 24 each school district of the maximum amount of its
1 25 allocation that shall be made available for purchasing
1 26 nonsectarian, nonreligious textbooks for each of the
1 27 accredited nonpublic schools located within the school
1 28 district in accordance with this paragraph. For

1 30 school's enrollment count shall include only students
1 31 who are residents of Iowa. The costs of providing
1 32 textbooks to accredited nonpublic schools as provided
1 33 in this paragraph shall not be included in the

1 36 miscellaneous income. Textbook expenditures made in
1 37 accordance with this paragraph shall be kept on file
1 38 in the school district. As used in this paragraph,
