(4) for a district not listed in clause (1), (2), or (3) that is required to implement a plan according to the requirements of Minnesota Rules, parts 3535.0200 to 3535.2200, the lesser of the actual cost of implementing the plan during the fiscal year or $93 times the actual pupil units for the school year.

The adjustments must be made according to this subdivision.
