				  appropriation shall be attributed to such program in the same proportion as the
				  cost of teachers' salaries for such instructional program bears the total
				  amount of teachers' salaries on a district-wide basis.
(3) The maximum tuition which may be charged
				  shall be determined by dividing the cost of instruction attributed to the
				  program of instruction for pupils in grades 7 through 12 by the estimated
				  average daily attendance of pupils in such grade level.
