§ 37-47-9. Annual grants by state.
 

It is found and determined that the state should make an annual grant of Twenty-four Dollars ($24.00) for each child in average daily attendance in the public schools of this state during each school year, and that such monies should be applied for the purpose of establishing and maintaining adequate physical facilities for the public school system and/or the payment of existing debt therefor. 
 

The grant to which a public school is entitled under the provisions of this section shall be credited to the school district of which such school is part. If any change is made in the operation or boundaries of any such school district, equitable reallocations shall be made by the commission of all balances to the credit of such school district, and all debits charged against the districts affected by the change in the boundaries or system of operation. The obligation of the state to make remittance of the sums appropriated or otherwise provided to make the annual grants provided by this section shall be subordinate to the pledge made to secure the state school bonds authorized under this chapter and the sinking fund created for their retirement. The grants shall be computed annually as soon as practicable after the end of the school year, and shall be based on the average daily attendance for such school year in all of the public schools operated by each school district as determined by the State Department of Education.
