(3) If the number of weighted pupil units in a program is overestimated, the state board shall spend excess money appropriated for the following purposes giving priority to the purpose described in Subsection (3)(a): (a) to support the value of the weighted pupil unit in a program within the basic state-supported school program in which the number of weighted pupil units is underestimated; (b) to support the state guaranteed local levy increments as defined in Section 53F-2-601, if: (i) local contributions to the voted local levy program or board local levy program are overestimated; or (ii) the number of weighted pupil units within school districts qualifying for a guarantee is underestimated; (c) to support the state supplement to local property taxes allocated to charter schools, if the state supplement is less than the amount prescribed by Section 53F-2-704; or (d) to support a school district with a loss in student enrollment as provided in Section 53F-2-207.

(5) If local contributions from the minimum basic tax rate imposed under Section 53F-2-301 or 53F-2-301.5, as applicable, are underestimated, the state board shall: (a) spend the excess local contributions for the purposes specified in Subsection (3), giving priority to supporting the value of the weighted pupil unit in programs within the basic state-supported school program in which the number of weighted pupil units is underestimated; and (b) reduce the state contribution to the basic state-supported school program so the total cost of the basic state-supported school program does not exceed the total state and local funds appropriated to the basic state-supported school program plus the local contributions necessary to support the value of the weighted pupil unit in programs within the basic state-supported school program in which the number of weighted pupil units is underestimated.

(a) spend the excess local contributions for the purposes specified in Subsection (3), giving priority to supporting the value of the weighted pupil unit in programs within the basic state-supported school program in which the number of weighted pupil units is underestimated; and

(6) Except as provided in Subsection (3) or (5), the state board shall reduce the state guarantee per weighted pupil unit provided under the local levy state guarantee program described in Section 53F-2-601, if: (a) local contributions to the voted local levy program or board local levy program are overestimated; or (b) the number of weighted pupil units within school districts qualifying for a guarantee is underestimated.
