 *NOTE: This section has been amended by emergency legislation with identical permanent legislation that will become effective in January, 2022.*  (a) In addition to the grade level and supplemental allocations provided pursuant to §§ 38-2904 and 38-2905, additional allocations shall be provided on the basis of the count of students identified as at-risk.
