Subd. 5. Adjustment for failure to meet federal maintenance of effort.

(b) The general education aid paid to school districts that were members of a cooperative that failed to meet federal special education maintenance of effort must be reduced by the amount that must be paid to the federal government due to the shortfall. The commissioner must apportion the aid reduction amount to the member school districts based on each district's individual shortfall in maintaining effort, and on each member district's proportionate share of any shortfall in expenditures made by the cooperative. Each district's proportionate share of shortfall in expenditures made by the cooperative must be calculated using the adjusted marginal pupil units of each member school district.
(c) The amounts recovered under this subdivision shall be paid to the federal government to meet the state's obligations resulting from the district's, charter school's, or cooperative's failure to meet federal special education maintenance of effort.
