4.19 	learning center or alternative learning program must reserve revenue in an amount equal to 
4.20 	at least 90 percent of the district average general education revenue per pupil unit, minus 
4.21 	an amount equal to the product of the formula allowance according to section 126C.10,

12.14 	building lease and debt service costs for facilities used primarily for special education, for 
12.15 	a pupil with a disability, as defined in section 125A.02, or a pupil, as defined in section 
12.16 	125A.51, who is enrolled in a program listed in this subdivision, minus (2) if the pupil

12.29 	must be reduced by an amount equal to 90 percent of the unreimbursed cost of providing

13.8 	education district, or a joint powers cooperative may elect through the action of the 
13.9 	constituent boards to charge the resident district tuition for pupils rather than to have the 
13.10 	general education revenue paid to a fiscal agent school district. Except as provided in 
13.11 	paragraph (e), the district of residence must pay tuition equal to at least between 90 and 100 
13.12 	percent of the district average general education revenue per pupil unit minus an amount 
13.13 	equal to the product of the formula allowance according to section 126C.10, subdivision
