(c)
Scholarship students shall be counted in the enrollment of their resident school
system. The count shall be for purposes of determining the amount of the
scholarship for the scholarship student; provided, however, that the funds
needed to provide a scholarship shall not be subtracted from the allotment
payable to the resident school system, and the resident school system shall
receive such funds in their allotment. The state shall provide funds in such
amount for the scholarship student over and above those funds that will remain
in the resident school system´s allotment. The scholarship students shall
not be included as enrolled for purposes of state or federal accountability
requirements, including, but not limited to, the federal Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
(P.L. 107-110).
