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 percent-
age 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 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.
[(5˝)] (6) Same—Additional Amounts. For densely popu-
lated subdivisions for any county or Baltimore City with a population
density exceeding 8,000 per square mile as determined by the State
Department 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)] (7) Same—Another Calculation. For each county and
Baltimore 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. In
the event that the amount arrived at by this calculation exceeds the
amount of the State's share calculated in paragraph (5) of this sub-
section, to such county or Baltimore City, the State shall pay the
larger amount. The amounts of State aid provided under this section
shall be in addition to any amounts provided for elsewhere in this
article.
[(7)] (8) Minimum Amount to Be Spent for Other Current
Expenses. Neither a county board of education or the Board of Edu-
cation of Baltimore City may spend for other current expenses less
than $71 for each pupil enrolled as of September 30 of the current
year, plus $30 for each additional pupil enrolled in excess of the
number enrolled on September 30 of the preceding year.
[(8)] (9) Aid Received under Article 66˝ Not to Be Duplicated.
