          effect on the day before August 12, 2006); divided by
            (ii)  1/2  of 1 percent of the amount appropriated under
          section 2307 of this title and not reserved under paragraph
          (1) for the fiscal year for which the determination is made.
        (D) Definitions
          In this paragraph:
          (i) Additional funds
            The term "additional funds" means the amount by which - 
              (I) the sum appropriated under section 2307 of this title
            and not reserved under paragraph (1) for a fiscal year;
            exceeds
              (II) the sum of - 
                (aa) the amount allotted under paragraph (2) for fiscal
              year 2006 (as such paragraph (2) was in effect on the day
              before August 12, 2006);
                (bb) the amount reserved under paragraph (1)(C) for

          (without the application of this paragraph and paragraphs (3)
          and (5)), an amount that would be less than the amount the
          State would receive under subparagraph (A) for such fiscal
          year.
      (5) Hold harmless
        (A) In general
          No State shall receive an allotment under this section for a
        fiscal year that is less than the allotment the State received
        under part A of title I of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and
        Applied Technology Education Act (20 U.S.C. 2311 et seq.) (as
        such part was in effect on the day before October 31, 1998) for
        fiscal year 1998.
        (B) Ratable reduction
          If for any fiscal year the amount appropriated for allotments
        under this section is insufficient to satisfy the provisions of
        subparagraph (A), the payments to all States under such
        subparagraph shall be ratably reduced.
    (b) Reallotment
      If the Secretary determines that any amount of any State's
    allotment under subsection (a) for any fiscal year will not be
    required for such fiscal year for carrying out the activities for
    which such amount has been allotted, the Secretary shall make such
    amount available for reallotment. Any such reallotment among other
    States shall occur on such dates during the same year as the
    Secretary shall fix, and shall be made on the basis of criteria
    established by regulation. No funds may be reallotted for any use
    other than the use for which the funds were appropriated. Any
    amount reallotted to a State under this subsection for any fiscal
    year shall remain available for obligation during the succeeding
    fiscal year and shall be deemed to be part of the State's allotment
    for the year in which the amount is obligated.
    (c) Allotment ratio
      (1) In general
        The allotment ratio for any State shall be 1.00 less the
      product of - 
          (A) 0.50; and
          (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the per capita income
        for the State by the per capita income for all the States
        (exclusive of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the United
        States Virgin Islands), except that - 
            (i) the allotment ratio in no case shall be more than 0.60
          or less than 0.40; and
            (ii) the allotment ratio for the Commonwealth of Puerto
          Rico and the United States Virgin Islands shall be 0.60.
      (2) Promulgation
        The allotment ratios shall be promulgated by the Secretary for
      each fiscal year between October 1 and December 31 of the fiscal
      year preceding the fiscal year for which the determination is
      made. Allotment ratios shall be computed on the basis of the
      average of the appropriate per capita incomes for the 3 most
      recent consecutive fiscal years for which satisfactory data are
      available.
      (3) Definition of per capita income
        For the purpose of this section, the term "per capita income"
      means, with respect to a fiscal year, the total personal income
      in the calendar year ending in such year, divided by the
      population of the area concerned in such year.

          shall establish in the State plan submitted under section
          2342 of this title, levels of performance for each of the
          core indicators of performance described in subparagraphs (A)
          and (B) of paragraph (2) for career and technical education
          activities authorized under this subchapter. The levels of
          performance established under this subparagraph shall, at a
          minimum - 
              (I) be expressed in a percentage or numerical form, so as
            to be objective, quantifiable, and measurable; and
              (II) require the State to continually make progress
            toward improving the performance of career and technical
            education students.
          (ii) Identification in the State plan
            Subject to section 2303 of this title, each eligible agency
          shall identify, in the State plan submitted under section
          2342 of this title, levels of performance for each of the
          core indicators of performance for the first 2 program years
          covered by the State plan.
          (iii) Agreement on State adjusted levels of performance for
            first 2 years
            The Secretary and each eligible agency shall reach
          agreement on the levels of performance for each of the core
          indicators of performance, for the first 2 program years
          covered by the State plan, taking into account the levels
          identified in the State plan under clause (ii) and the
          factors described in clause (vi). The levels of performance
          agreed to under this clause shall be considered to be the
          State adjusted level of performance for the State for such
          years and shall be incorporated into the State plan prior to
          the approval of such plan.
          (iv) Role of the Secretary
            The role of the Secretary in the agreement described in
          clauses (iii) and (v) is limited to reaching agreement on the
          percentage or number of students who attain the State
          adjusted levels of performance.
          (v) Agreement on State adjusted levels of performance for
            subsequent years
            Prior to the third and fifth program years covered by the
          State plan, the Secretary and each eligible agency shall
          reach agreement on the State adjusted levels of performance
          for each of the core indicators of performance for the
          corresponding subsequent program years covered by the State
          plan, taking into account the factors described in clause
          (vi). The State adjusted levels of performance agreed to
          under this clause shall be considered to be the State
          adjusted levels of performance for the State for such years
          and shall be incorporated into the State plan.
          (vi) Factors
            The agreement described in clause (iii) or (v) shall take
          into account - 
              (I) how the levels of performance involved compare with
            the State adjusted levels of performance established for
            other States, taking into account factors including the
            characteristics of participants when the participants
            entered the program and the services or instruction to be
            provided; and
              (II) the extent to which such levels of performance
            promote continuous improvement on the indicators of
            performance by such State.
          (vii) Revisions
            If unanticipated circumstances arise in a State resulting
          in a significant change in the factors described in clause
          (vi), the eligible agency may request that the State adjusted
          levels of performance agreed to under clause (iii) or (v) be
          revised. The Secretary shall issue objective criteria and

          recipient's levels of performance for each of the core
          indicators of performance for the first 2 program years
          covered by the local plan, taking into account the levels
          identified in the local plan under clause (ii) and the
          factors described in clause (v). The levels of performance
          agreed to under this clause shall be considered to be the
          local adjusted levels of performance for the eligible
          recipient for such years and shall be incorporated into the
          local plan prior to the approval of such plan.
          (iv) Agreement on local adjusted levels of performance for
            subsequent years
            Prior to the third and fifth program years covered by the
          local plan, the eligible agency and each eligible recipient
          shall reach agreement on the local adjusted levels of
          performance for each of the core indicators of performance
          for the corresponding subsequent program years covered by the
          local plan, taking into account the factors described in
          clause (v). The local adjusted levels of performance agreed
          to under this clause shall be considered to be the local
          adjusted levels of performance for the eligible recipient for
          such years and shall be incorporated into the local plan.
          (v) Factors
            The agreement described in clause (iii) or (iv) shall take
          into account - 
              (I) how the levels of performance involved compare with
            the local adjusted levels of performance established for
            other eligible recipients in the State, taking into account
            factors including the characteristics of participants when
            the participants entered the program and the services or
            instruction to be provided; and
              (II) the extent to which the local adjusted levels of
            performance promote continuous improvement on the core
            indicators of performance by the eligible recipient.
          (vi) Revisions
            If unanticipated circumstances arise with respect to an
          eligible recipient resulting in a significant change in the
          factors described in clause (v), the eligible recipient may
          request that the local adjusted levels of performance agreed
          to under clause (iii) or (iv) be revised. The eligible agency
          shall issue objective criteria and methods for making such
          revisions.
        (B) Levels of performance for additional indicators
          Each eligible recipient may identify, in the local plan,
        local levels of performance for any additional indicators of
        performance described in paragraph (2)(C). Such levels shall be
        considered to be the local levels of performance for purposes
        of this subchapter.

    appropriations, make grants pursuant to this section to tribally
    controlled postsecondary career and technical institutions that are
    not receiving Federal support under the Tribally Controlled College
    or University Assistance Act of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) or
    the Navajo Community College Act (25 U.S.C. 640a et seq.) to
    provide basic support for the education and training of Indian
    students.
    (b) Uses of grants
      Amounts made available under this section shall be used for
    career and technical education programs for Indian students and for
    the institutional support costs of the grant, including the
    expenses described in subsection (e).
    (c) Amount of grants
      (1) In general
        If the sums appropriated for any fiscal year for grants under
      this section are not sufficient to pay in full the total amount
      which approved applicants are eligible to receive under this
      section for such fiscal year, the Secretary shall first allocate
      to each such applicant who received funds under this part for the
      preceding fiscal year an amount equal to 100 percent of the
      product of the per capita payment for the preceding fiscal year
      and such applicant's Indian student count for the current program
      year, plus an amount equal to the actual cost of any increase to
      the per capita figure resulting from inflationary increases to
      necessary costs beyond the institution's control.
      (2) Per capita determination
        For the purposes of paragraph (1), the per capita payment for
      any fiscal year shall be determined by dividing the amount
      available for grants to tribally controlled postsecondary career
      and technical institutions under this section for such program
      year by the sum of the Indian student counts of such institutions
      for such program year. The Secretary shall, on the basis of the
      most accurate data available from the institutions, compute the
      Indian student count for any fiscal year for which such count was
      not used for the purpose of making allocations under this
      section.
      (3) Indirect costs
        Notwithstanding any other provision of law or regulation, the
      Secretary shall not require the use of a restricted indirect cost
      rate for grants issued under this section.
    (d) Applications
      Any tribally controlled postsecondary career and technical
    institution that is not receiving Federal support under the
    Tribally Controlled College or University Assistance Act of 1978
    (25 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) or the Navajo Community College Act (25
    U.S.C. 640a et seq.) that desires to receive a grant under this
    section shall submit an application to the Secretary in such manner
    and form as the Secretary may require.
    (e) Expenses
      (1) In general
        The Secretary shall, subject to the availability of
      appropriations, provide for each program year to each tribally
      controlled postsecondary career and technical institution having
      an application approved by the Secretary, an amount necessary to
      pay expenses associated with - 
          (A) the maintenance and operation of the program, including
        development costs, costs of basic and special instruction
        (including special programs for individuals with disabilities
        and academic instruction), materials, student costs,
        administrative expenses, boarding costs, transportation,
        student services, daycare and family support programs for
        students and their families (including contributions to the
        costs of education for dependents), and student stipends;
          (B) capital expenditures, including operations and
        maintenance, and minor improvements and repair, and physical
        plant maintenance costs, for the conduct of programs funded
        under this section;
          (C) costs associated with repair, upkeep, replacement, and
        upgrading of the instructional equipment; and
          (D) institutional support of career and technical education.

-STATUTE-
    (a) State program improvement
      (1) Plan
        If a State fails to meet at least 90 percent of an agreed upon
      State adjusted level of performance for any of the core
      indicators of performance described in section 2323(b)(3) of this
      title, the eligible agency shall develop and implement a program
      improvement plan (with special consideration to performance gaps
      identified under section 2323(c)(2) of this title) in
      consultation with the appropriate agencies, individuals, and
      organizations during the first program year succeeding the
      program year for which the eligible agency failed to so meet the
      State adjusted level of performance for any of the core
      indicators of performance.
      (2) Technical assistance
        If the Secretary determines that an eligible agency is not
      properly implementing the eligible agency's responsibilities
      under section 2342 of this title, or is not making substantial
      progress in meeting the purposes of this chapter, based on the
      State's adjusted levels of performance, the Secretary shall work
      with the eligible agency to implement the improvement activities
      consistent with the requirements of this chapter.
      (3) Subsequent action
        (A) In general
          The Secretary may, after notice and opportunity for a
        hearing, withhold from an eligible agency all, or a portion, of
        the eligible agency's allotment under paragraphs (2) and (3) of
        section 2322(a) of this title if the eligible agency - 
            (i) fails to implement an improvement plan as described in
          paragraph (1);
            (ii) fails to make any improvement in meeting any of the
          State adjusted levels of performance for the core indicators
          of performance identified under paragraph (1) within the
          first program year of implementation of its improvement plan
          described in paragraph (1); or
            (iii) fails to meet at least 90 percent of an agreed upon
          State adjusted level of performance for the same core
          indicator of performance for 3 consecutive years.
        (B) Waiver for exceptional circumstances
          The Secretary may waive the sanction in subparagraph (A) due
        to exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances, such as a
        natural disaster or a precipitous and unforeseen decline in the
        financial resources of the State.
      (4) Funds resulting from reduced allotments
        The Secretary shall use funds withheld under paragraph (3) for
      a State served by an eligible agency to provide technical
      assistance, to assist in the development of an improved State
      improvement plan, or for other improvement activities consistent
      with the requirements of this chapter for such State.
    (b) Local program improvement
      (1) Local evaluation
        Each eligible agency shall evaluate annually, using the local
      adjusted levels of performance described in section 2323(b)(4) of
      this title, the career and technical education activities of each
      eligible recipient receiving funds under this subchapter.
      (2) Plan
        If, after reviewing the evaluation in paragraph (1), the
      eligible agency determines that an eligible recipient failed to
      meet at least 90 percent of an agreed upon local adjusted level
      of performance for any of the core indicators of performance
      described in section 2323(b)(4) of this title, the eligible
      recipient shall develop and implement a program improvement plan
      (with special consideration to performance gaps identified under
      section 2323(b)(4)(C)(ii)(II) of this title) in consultation with
      the eligible agency, appropriate agencies, individuals, and
      organizations during the first program year succeeding the
      program year for which the eligible recipient failed to so meet
      any of the local adjusted levels of performance for any of the
      core indicators of performance.
      (3) Technical assistance
        If the eligible agency determines that an eligible recipient is
      not properly implementing the eligible recipient's
      responsibilities under section 2354 of this title, or is not
      making substantial progress in meeting the purposes of this
      chapter, based on the local adjusted levels of performance, the
      eligible agency shall work with the eligible recipient to
      implement improvement activities consistent with the requirements
      of this chapter.

          paragraph (2);
            (ii) fails to make any improvement in meeting any of the
          local adjusted levels of performance for the core indicators

          first program year of implementation of its improvement plan
          described in paragraph (2); or
            (iii) fails to meet at least 90 percent of an agreed upon
          local adjusted level of performance for the same core
          indicator of performance for 3 consecutive years.

            (i) due to exceptional or uncontrollable circumstances,
          such as a natural disaster or a precipitous and unforeseen
          decline in the financial resources of the eligible recipient;
          or

-STATUTE-
    (a) Distribution rules
      Except as provided in section 2353 of this title and as otherwise
    provided in this section, each eligible agency shall distribute the
    portion of funds made available under section 2322(a)(1) of this
    title to carry out this section to local educational agencies
    within the State as follows:
      (1) Thirty percent
        Thirty percent shall be allocated to such local educational
      agencies in proportion to the number of individuals aged 5
      through 17, inclusive, who reside in the school district served
      by such local educational agency for the preceding fiscal year
      compared to the total number of such individuals who reside in
      the school districts served by all local educational agencies in
      the State for such preceding fiscal year, as determined on the
      basis of the most recent satisfactory - 
          (A) data provided to the Secretary by the Bureau of the
        Census for the purpose of determining eligibility under title I
        of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 [20
        U.S.C. 6301 et seq.]; or
          (B) student membership data collected by the National Center
        for Education Statistics through the Common Core of Data survey
        system.
      (2) Seventy percent
        Seventy percent shall be allocated to such local educational
      agencies in proportion to the number of individuals aged 5
      through 17, inclusive, who reside in the school district served
      by such local educational agency and are from families below the
      poverty level for the preceding fiscal year, as determined on the
      basis of the most recent satisfactory data used under section
      1124(c)(1)(A) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of
      1965 [20 U.S.C. 6333(c)(1)(A)], compared to the total number of
      such individuals who reside in the school districts served by all
      the local educational agencies in the State for such preceding
      fiscal year.
      (3) Adjustments
        Each eligible agency, in making the allocations under
      paragraphs (1) and (2), shall adjust the data used to make the
      allocations to - 
          (A) reflect any change in school district boundaries that may
        have occurred since the data were collected; and
          (B) include local educational agencies without geographical
        boundaries, such as charter schools and secondary schools
        funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
    (b) Waiver for more equitable distribution
      The Secretary may waive the application of subsection (a) in the
    case of any eligible agency that submits to the Secretary an
    application for such a waiver that - 
        (1) demonstrates that a proposed alternative formula more
      effectively targets funds on the basis of poverty (as defined by
      the Office of Management and Budget and revised annually in
      accordance with section 9902(2) of title 42) to local educational
      agencies within the State than the formula described in
      subsection (a); and
        (2) includes a proposal for such an alternative formula.
    (c) Minimum allocation
      (1) In general
        Except as provided in paragraph (2), a local educational agency
      shall not receive an allocation under subsection (a) unless the
      amount allocated to such agency under subsection (a) is greater
      than $15,000. A local educational agency may enter into a
      consortium with other local educational agencies for purposes of
      meeting the minimum allocation requirement of this paragraph.
      (2) Waiver
        The eligible agency shall waive the application of paragraph
      (1) in any case in which the local educational agency - 
          (A)(i) is located in a rural, sparsely populated area; or
          (ii) is a public charter school operating secondary school
        career and technical education programs; and
          (B) demonstrates that the local educational agency is unable
        to enter into a consortium for purposes of providing activities
        under this part.
      (3) Redistribution
        Any amounts that are not allocated by reason of paragraph (1)
      or paragraph (2) shall be redistributed to local educational
      agencies that meet the requirements of paragraph (1) or (2) in
      accordance with the provisions of this section.
    (d) Limited jurisdiction agencies
      (1) In general
        In applying the provisions of subsection (a), no eligible
      agency receiving assistance under this subchapter shall allocate
      funds to a local educational agency that serves only elementary
      schools, but shall distribute such funds to the local educational
      agency or regional educational agency that provides secondary
      school services to secondary school students in the same
      attendance area.
      (2) Special rule
        The amount to be allocated under paragraph (1) to a local
      educational agency that has jurisdiction only over secondary
      schools shall be determined based on the number of students that
      entered such secondary schools in the previous year from the
      elementary schools involved.
    (e) Allocations to area career and technical education schools and
      educational service agencies
      (1) In general
        Each eligible agency shall distribute the portion of funds made
      available under section 2322(a)(1) of this title for any fiscal
      year by such eligible agency for career and technical education
      activities at the secondary level under this section to the
      appropriate area career and technical education school or
      educational service agency in any case in which the area career
      and technical education school or educational service agency, and
      the local educational agency concerned - 
          (A) have formed or will form a consortium for the purpose of
        receiving funds under this section; or
          (B) have entered into or will enter into a cooperative
        arrangement for such purpose.
      (2) Allocation basis
        If an area career and technical education school or educational
      service agency meets the requirements of paragraph (1), then the
      amount that would otherwise be distributed to the local
      educational agency shall be allocated to the area career and
      technical education school, the educational service agency, and
      the local educational agency based on each school, agency or
      entity's relative share of students who are attending career and
      technical education programs (based, if practicable, on the
      average enrollment for the preceding 3 years).
      (3) Appeals procedure
        The eligible agency shall establish an appeals procedure for
      resolution of any dispute arising between a local educational
      agency and an area career and technical education school or an
      educational service agency with respect to the allocation
      procedures described in this section, including the decision of a
      local educational agency to leave a consortium or terminate a
      cooperative arrangement.
    (f) Consortium requirements
      (1) Alliance
        Any local educational agency receiving an allocation that is
      not sufficient to conduct a program which meets the requirements
      of section 2355 of this title is encouraged to - 
          (A) form a consortium or enter into a cooperative agreement
        with an area career and technical education school or
        educational service agency offering programs that meet the
        requirements of section 2355 of this title;
          (B) transfer such allocation to the area career and technical
        education school or educational service agency; and
          (C) operate programs that are of sufficient size, scope, and
        quality to be effective.
      (2) Funds to consortium
        Funds allocated to a consortium formed to meet the requirements
      of this subsection shall be used only for purposes and programs
      that are mutually beneficial to all members of the consortium and
      can be used only for programs authorized under this subchapter.
      Such funds may not be reallocated to individual members of the
      consortium for purposes or programs benefitting only 1 member of
      the consortium.
    (g) Data
      The Secretary shall collect information from eligible agencies
    regarding the specific dollar allocations made available by the
    eligible agency for career and technical education programs under
    subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) and how these allocations
    are distributed to local educational agencies, area career and
    technical education schools, and educational service agencies,
    within the State in accordance with this section.
    (h) Special rule
      Each eligible agency distributing funds under this section shall
    treat a secondary school funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs
    within the State as if such school were a local educational agency
    within the State for the purpose of receiving a distribution under
    this section.

        Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 2351 and 2352 of
      this title and in order to make a more equitable distribution of
      funds for programs serving the areas of greatest economic need,
      for any program year for which a minimal amount is made available
      by an eligible agency for distribution under section 2351 or 2352
      of this title, such eligible agency may distribute such minimal
      amount for such year - 
          (A) on a competitive basis; or
          (B) through any alternative method determined by the eligible
        agency.
      (2) Minimal amount
        For purposes of this section, the term "minimal amount" means
      not more than 15 percent of the total amount made available for
      distribution under section 2322(a)(1) of this title.
    (b) Redistribution
      (1) In general
        In any academic year that an eligible recipient does not expend
      all of the amounts the eligible recipient is allocated for such
      year under section 2351 or 2352 of this title, such eligible
      recipient shall return any unexpended amounts to the eligible
      agency to be reallocated under section 2351 or 2352 of this
      title, as appropriate.
      (2) Redistribution of amounts returned late in an academic year
        In any academic year in which amounts are returned to the
      eligible agency under section 2351 or 2352 of this title and the
      eligible agency is unable to reallocate such amounts according to
      such sections in time for such amounts to be expended in such
      academic year, the eligible agency shall retain such amounts for
      distribution in combination with amounts provided under section
      2322(a)(1) of this title for the following academic year.
    (c) Construction
      Nothing in section 2351 or 2352 of this title shall be construed -
     
        (1) to prohibit a local educational agency or a consortium
      thereof that receives assistance under section 2351 of this
      title, from working with an eligible institution or consortium
      thereof that receives assistance under section 2352 of this
      title, to carry out career and technical education programs at
      the secondary level in accordance with this subchapter;
        (2) to prohibit an eligible institution or consortium thereof
      that receives assistance under section 2352 of this title, from
      working with a local educational agency or consortium thereof
      that receives assistance under section 2351 of this title, to
      carry out postsecondary and adult career and technical education
      programs in accordance with this subchapter; or
        (3) to require a charter school, that provides career and
      technical education programs and is considered a local
      educational agency under State law, to jointly establish the
      charter school's eligibility for assistance under this subchapter
      unless the charter school is explicitly permitted to do so under
      the State's charter school statute.
    (d) Consistent application
      For purposes of this section, the eligible agency shall provide
    funds to charter schools offering career and technical education
    programs in the same manner as the eligible agency provides those
    funds to other schools. Such career and technical education
    programs within a charter school shall be of sufficient size,
    scope, and quality to be effective.

    Sec. 2391. Fiscal requirements

-STATUTE-
    (a) Supplement not supplant
      Funds made available under this chapter for career and technical
    education activities shall supplement, and shall not supplant, non-
    Federal funds expended to carry out career and technical education
    activities and tech prep program activities.
    (b) Maintenance of effort
      (1) Determination
        (A) In general
          Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C), no payments
        shall be made under this chapter for any fiscal year to a State
        for career and technical education programs or tech prep
        programs unless the Secretary determines that the fiscal effort
        per student or the aggregate expenditures of such State for
        career and technical education programs for the fiscal year
        preceding the fiscal year for which the determination is made,
        equaled or exceeded such effort or expenditures for career and
        technical education programs for the second fiscal year
        preceding the fiscal year for which the determination is made.
        (B) Computation
          In computing the fiscal effort or aggregate expenditures
        pursuant to subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall exclude
        capital expenditures, special 1-time project costs, and the
        cost of pilot programs.
        (C) Decrease in Federal support
          If the amount made available for career and technical
        education programs under this chapter for a fiscal year is less
        than the amount made available for career and technical
        education programs under this chapter for the preceding fiscal
        year, then the fiscal effort per student or the aggregate
        expenditures of a State required by subparagraph (A) for the
        preceding fiscal year shall be decreased by the same percentage
        as the percentage decrease in the amount so made available.
      (2) Waiver
        The Secretary may waive the requirements of this section, with
      respect to not more than 5 percent of expenditures by any
      eligible agency for 1 fiscal year only, on making a determination
      that such waiver would be equitable due to exceptional or
      uncontrollable circumstances affecting the ability of the
      eligible agency to meet such requirements, such as a natural
      disaster or an unforeseen and precipitous decline in financial
      resources. No level of funding permitted under such a waiver may
      be used as the basis for computing the fiscal effort or aggregate
      expenditures required under this section for years subsequent to
      the year covered by such waiver. The fiscal effort or aggregate
      expenditures for the subsequent years shall be computed on the
      basis of the level of funding that would, but for such waiver,
      have been required.
