Sec. 297k.
(1) The department shall ensure that grant funds awarded under sections 297a, 297b, and 297d are awarded as follows:
(a) 50% to tier 1 districts.
(b) 30% to tier 2 districts.
(c) 20% to tier 3 districts.
(2) If a district from 1 tier applies for a grant with 1 or more other districts in a combined application, or if an intermediate district submits a grant application on behalf of more than 1 of its constituent districts, and the combined application results in a district from 1 tier receiving a grant award that is higher than if a combined application had not been submitted, the portion of the grant award that exceeds what the district would have received in the absence of a combined application must be applied to the tier percentages under subsection (1) in the same proportion that the pupil membership of that district represents of the total pupil memberships in the combined grant application.
