To ameliorate the changes in the equalization guarantee distribution, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22-8-25 NMSA 1978, the equalization guarantee for fiscal year 1998 shall be distributed as follows: (1) using the fiscal year 1997 total program cost plus forty million dollars ($40,000,000) included in the state equalization guarantee, calculate the program cost for each school district and the statewide total program cost, and the district and statewide percentage change from the fiscal year 1997 program cost. Establish a cap for an interim program cost, which is one and three- fourths multiplied by the statewide average percentage increase. For districts whose calculated program cost is less than the program cost for fiscal year 1997, the interim program cost shall be the program cost for fiscal year 1997. For districts whose calculated program cost is between the program cost for fiscal year 1997 and the established cap, the interim program cost shall be the calculated program cost. For districts whose calculated program cost exceeds the cap (capped districts), the interim program cost shall be the program cost as capped; (2) the excess funds from the capped interim program costs shall be redistributed to the capped districts in proportion to which each capped district's program units bear to the total program units of the capped districts; (3) seven million six hundred ninety-three thousand one hundred dollars ($7,693,100) of the state equalization guarantee shall be distributed to each district in proportion to which the district's total program units bear to the statewide total program units.
