             5025          (1) If the number of weighted pupil units in a program is underestimated in Section
             5026      53A-17a-104 , the amount per pupil in that program paid under this chapter must be reduced so
             5027      that the amount paid does not exceed the estimated amount by program.
             5028          (2) If the number of weighted pupil units in a program is overestimated in Section
             5029      53A-17a-104 , the state superintendent of public instruction shall either increase the amount
             5030      paid in that program per weighted pupil unit or transfer the unused amount in that program to
             5031      another program included in the minimum school program.
             5032          (3) (a) If surplus funds are transferred to another program, the state superintendent, if
             5033      the state superintendent determines certain districts have greater need for additional funds, may
             5034      designate the districts as well as the programs to which the transferred funds will be allocated.

             5044          (6) (a) If local contributions from the basic tax rate for operation and maintenance
             5045      programs are underestimated, the excess is applied first to support the value of the weighted
             5046      pupil unit as set by the Legislature for total weighted pupil units generated by the districts and
             5047      those costs of Social Security and retirement, transportation, and board and voted leeway that
             5048      occur as a result of the additional generated weighted pupil units, following internal
             5049      adjustments by the state superintendent as provided in this section.


             5050          (b) The state contribution is decreased so the total school program cost for operation
             5051      and maintenance programs does not exceed the total estimated contributions to school districts
             5052      for all programs under Subsection 53A-17a-104 (2) plus the amount of local revenue necessary
             5053      to support the value of the weighted pupil unit for weighted pupil units generated and those
             5054      costs of Social Security and retirement, transportation, and board and voted leeway that occur
             5055      as a result of the additional generated weighted pupil units.
             5056          (7) As an exception to Section [ 63J-1-401 ] 63J-1-601 , the state fiscal officer may not
             5057      close out appropriations from the Uniform School Fund at the end of a fiscal year.

             10537      replaced by appropriation or as provided in this Subsection (3)(b), the Division of Finance shall
             10538      transfer up to 25% more of the Education Fund revenue surplus to the Education Fund Budget

             10558      appropriated from the account within the past ten years and have not yet been replaced.
             10559          (4) Notwithstanding Subsection (3), if, at the end of a fiscal year, the Division of
             10560      Finance determines that an operating deficit exists, the Division of Finance may reduce the

             10564      Account only to resolve an Education Fund budget deficit.
             10565          (6) Interest generated from investments of money in the Education Fund Budget
