directors of a school district that wishes to receive a budget adjustment pursuant to
this subsection shall adopt a resolution to receive the budget adjustment and shall, by

Sec. . Section 257.14, Code 2001, is amended by adding the following new
subsection:

succeeding budget years, if the department of management determines that the regular
program district cost of a school district for a budget year is less than one hundred one
percent of the regular program district cost for the base year for that school district, a
district shall be eligible for a budget adjustment corresponding to the following
schedule:
