All demonstration or practice schools established under the provisions of Section 37-131-1 shall, as far as may be practicable, be subject to and governed by the same laws as other public schools of the State of Mississippi, and shall make all reports required by law to be made by public schools to the state board of education or the state educational finance commission at the same time and in the same manner as such reports are made by other public schools. However, for the purpose of the allocation of minimum education program funds, the reports of children in average daily attendance shall be made to the school district involved by said demonstration or practice school, and a copy thereof shall be filed with the state board of education. The school district shall use said reports so filed with it in making its reports to the state board of education for the purpose of the allocation of minimum education program funds but the average daily attendance of the pupils attending such demonstration or practice school shall be segregated and separated in such reports from the average daily attendance in the regular schools of the district.
