(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 per cent 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 provi-
sions 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
per cent 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 calculated 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 Amounts. For densely populated sub-
divisions for any county or Baltimore City with a population density
exceeding 8,000 per square mile as determined by the State Depart-
ment of Health an amount equivalent to thirty dollars ($30.00) per
pupil enrolled on September 30 of the school year for which the
calculation is made shall be added to the State's share of current
expenses as defined in paragraph 5 of this subsection.

(6)    Same—Another Calculation. For each county and Balti-
more City the following calculation shall be made: $128 shall be
multiplied 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 adjustment for increased enrollment as calculated in para-
graph (2) of this subsection and from which shall be subtracted
the product of $6,645 multiplied by one staff member for each 1,000
of the first 5,000 pupils or major portion thereof. To this figure shall
be added or subtracted the adjustment for minimum salaries and
staffing level as calculated in paragraph (3) of this subsection. I
