(2)

For each affected district, multiply the amount determined in paragraph (1) by the average daily attendance for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the reorganization is to become effective.

(3)

Add the products determined in paragraph (2), and divide that sum by the sum of the average daily attendance determined in paragraph (2) for all affected districts.

(c)
