(2) ANY SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT RECEIVED STATE AID IN THE AMOUNT OF TEN PERCENT OR LESS OF THE DISTRICT'S TOTAL PROGRAM, AS DEFINED IN SECTION 2254103 (6), FOR THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING BUDGET YEAR AND THAT ALLOWS A NONRESIDENT STUDENT TO ENROLL IN A SCHOOL WITHIN SAID SCHOOL DISTRICT PURSUANT TO SECTION 2236101 MAY APPLY TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR FUNDING FOR SAID STUDENT IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE STATE SHARE OF PER PUPIL OPERATING REVENUES RECEIVED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN WHICH THE STUDENT RESIDES, REDUCED IN PROPORTION TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME REMAINING IN THE SCHOOL YEAR.
