3. For each year in which an appropriation is made to the Iowa early intervention block grant program, the department of education shall notify the department of revenue and finance of the amount of the allocation to be paid to each school district as provided in subsections 1 and 2. The allocation to each school district shall be made in one payment on or about October 15 of the fiscal year for which the appropriation is made, taking into consideration the relative budget and cash position of the state resources. Moneys received under this section shall not be commingled with state aid payments made under section 257.16 to a school district and shall be accounted for by the local school district separately from state aid payments. Payments made to school districts under this section are miscellaneous income for purposes of chapter 257. A school district shall maintain a separate listing within its budget for payments received and expenditures made pursuant to this section. A school district shall certify to the department of education that moneys received under this section were used to supplement, not supplant, moneys otherwise received and used by the school district.
4. For purposes of this section, unless the context otherwise requires, "kindergarten through grade three enrollment" means the enrollment as reported in the basic educational data survey for the base year.
