Stat.§ 123B.44 and Minn. Rules Chapter 3540. The school district is not required to expend an amount for any of these purposes that exceeds the amount it receives pursuant to Minn. Stat. §§ 123B.40 to 123B.48 for any of these purposes.

The provisions of this policy shall not be determinative of whether the school district allows the enrollment of any students on a shared-time basis.
B. The school district may limit enrollment of shared-time students in such classes based on the capacity of a program, class, grade level, or school building. The school board and administration retain sole discretion and control over scheduling of all classes and assignment of shared time students to classes.
