When, because of a temporary emergency, a district has

						fleet classification would result in a classification other than the expected
						normal, the school district may request an exemption excluding the additional
						buses and hours of operation from such computation. The request for exemption
						shall be submitted to the Superintendent of Public Instruction not later than
						June 30 of the fiscal year in which the emergency occurred. If the
						Superintendent of Public Instruction determines that a temporary emergency did
						exist and that the changes in operational procedure were necessary to continue

						exemption.
