In no event shall the amount allocated and distributed to any school district under this act exceed: (1) An amount which is equal to .50 of 1% of the amount of the general fund budget of the school district, or an amount equal to 50% of the actual expenses incurred by the school district in maintaining an approved professional development program, whichever is the lesser amount; or (2) an amount which is equal to 50% of the actual expenses incurred by the school district for the provision of innovative and experimental procedures, activities and services, if any of the same are provided and approved by the state board, in a professional development program maintained by the school district and approved by the state board.

(b) If the amount of appropriations for professional development programs is insufficient to pay in full the amount each school district is determined to be eligible to receive for the school year, the state board shall prorate the amount appropriated among all school districts which are eligible to receive state aid under the provisions of this act in proportion to the amount each school district is determined to be eligible to receive.

(c) The state board shall prescribe all forms necessary for reporting under this act.

(d) Every board shall make such periodic and special reports of statistical and financial information to the state board as it may request.
