study to determine the amount of revenue that is available annually
for the education of each child in average daily membership in the
public schools in each school district in Kentucky. This study which
shall be used as a basis for the distribution of moneys from the special
fund shall be based upon records and reports for the school year end—
ing June 30 immediately preceding. For the purpose of this study the
Superintendent of Public instruction shall include all recurring state
and local revenues accruing to the board of education and shall cal-
culate the l0cal income at the rate of seventy—five cents per one hundred
dollars of property subject to local taxation, or on the basis of the

intendent ot’ Public lnstructimi finds that a board of education is
unable to provide an average of forty dollars per year for the educa-
tion of each child in average daily membership in its district, then

State Board of Education shall prorate from the funds appropriated
for this purpose an amount sufficient to enable each board of educa-
tion to provide an income of forty dollars per year for the educa-
tion of each child in average daily membership in such school

per year per pupil in average daily membership, then the amount
appropriated shall be distributed to all school districts which qualify
for such aid on a percentage basis to be determined by the ratio of
the funds appropriated for this purpose to the total amount necessary
to provide an income of forty dollars per child in average daily mem—
bership in the public schools of the entire Commonwealth.
