members per 1,000 pupils enrolled, multiplied by $6,645, shall be
added to the product of current expense cost calculated under para-
graph (1) above for that subdivision and any negative difference
shall be subtracted.

In calculating the total amount of required prescribed salaries for
subdivisions which employ more professional staff members than
the allowed number, the number of allowed staff members shall be
multiplied by the average prescribed salary for the total number of
professional staff members employed. Further, in calculating the
total amount of required prescribed salaries for all subdivisions,
no adjustments shall be made for salary changes due to turnover in
allowed positions after October 31 of any school year, and no adjust-
ments shall be made for allowed staff members added or eliminated
after March 1 of any school year.

(4)    Local Share. To be eligible to receive the State share of
current expenses, the board of county commissioners of each of the
several counties and the mayor and city council of Baltimore shall
levy an annual tax for public schools sufficient to provide an
amount equal to 1.228 percent of the sum of the adjusted assessed
valuation of real property and net taxable income for each of the
several counties and Baltimore City, exclusive of the amount levied
for debt service or capital outlay for public schools. For each year
the State percentage share of current expenses shall be calculated
for the counties and Baltimore City which are not affected by
the provisions of paragraph (6) of this subsection, by dividing the
sum of the State share of current expenses as calculated under
paragraph (5) of this subsection by the total adjusted expenditure
for current expenses as determined in paragraphs (1), (2) and (3)
of this subsection. In any year after 1967-68 if the State percentage
share in the aggregate for all such counties and Baltimore City is less
than the State percentage share for the aggregate of the same
counties and Baltimore City as calculated for the year 1967-68 by
0.5 or more the annual levy required in this paragraph shall be
reduced by that percent of the sum of the adjusted assessed valuation
of real property and net taxable income necessary to restore for the
current year the State percentage share of current expenses cal-
culated for the year 1967-68.

(5)    Amount of State Share. The State share of current expenses
shall be the difference between the local share calculated in (4) and
the adjusted expenditure for current expenses as calculated in (1),
(2), and (3), all these references being to paragraphs in this sub-
section.

(5½) Same-Additional Amount for Densely Populated Subdi-
visions. For any county or Baltimore City with a population density
exceeding 8000 per square mile, as determined by the State Depart-
ment of Health, an amount equivalent to $30.00 per pupil enrolled on
September 30 of the school year for which the calculation is made
[Baltimore City. For Baltimore City only, an amount of five million
dollars ($5,000,000.)! shall be added to the State share of current
expenses as denned in paragraph (5) of this subsection.

(6)    Same-Another Calculation. For each county and Baltimore
City the following calculation shall be made: $128 shall be multi-
plied by the number of pupils enrolled on September 30 of the school
year for which the calculation is made, to which shall be added the
