16 school year.
17 (c) In addition, the department shall determine the

22 any school district exceeds the maximum number of positions
23 allowed for noninstructional personnel. For each position that
24 exceeds the maximum allowable number within a district, the
25 department shall deduct an amount equal to 50 percent of the
26 average cost of that position from the state funds allocated
27 to the district.
