Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary:
I. A school district which operates a full-day kindergarten program in any school year in which the adequate education grant provided pursuant to N.H. Rev. Stat. § 198:42 does not include a count of the full-day kindergarten students, shall receive an additional adequate education grant based on the number of pupils attending kindergarten in the district as of the beginning of the school year.
II. The per pupil amount of the additional education grant provided in this section shall be 50 percent of the amount distributed under N.H. Rev. Stat. § 198:40-a, II(a), based on the number of pupils enrolled and present on the first day of school in the current year in a full-day kindergarten program in the district. Once pupils enrolled in an approved kindergarten program have been counted in the average daily membership, school districts shall receive, for each such pupil, an adequate education grant calculated in accordance with N.H. Rev. Stat. § 198:40-a, II.
III. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, and every fiscal year thereafter, the amount necessary to fund the grants under this section is hereby appropriated to the department from the education trust fund established in N.H. Rev. Stat. § 198:39. If the balance in the education trust fund is less than zero, the governor is authorized to draw a warrant for sufficient funds to eliminate such deficit out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. The commissioner of the department of administrative services shall inform the fiscal committee and the governor and council of such balance. This reporting shall not in any way prohibit or delay the distribution of kindergarten adequate education grants.
