treasurer to pay over to the town treasurer, if and when properly bonded,
the following funds to be used for public school and/or educational pur-
poses within such special town school district:

school and/or educational purposes, a sum equal to the pro rata amount
from such levy * derived from such town.

for general school purposes, to be determined as between the county and
the town on the same basis of distribution used by the State in making the
distribution of such school funds to the counties and cities.

(3) The amounts due from the county to such special town school
district from special State school funds to be determined in accordance
with the purposes for which the allocations are made.

4) From federal funds allocated to and received by the county on
the basis of federally connected pupils for operations and/or capital out-
lay purposes, to be apportioned between the county and the town on the
same basis of distribution as used in making the allotment of such federal
funds to the county and in the ratio that such federally connected pupils
residing in the town bear to the total of such federally connected pupils
residing in the county including the town and which were included in the
county’s application for such federal funds.

(b) District located in adjoining counties.—Where a special town
school district is located partly in each of two adjoining counties and oper-
ated by a town school board created or constituted by the charter of
such town, for the benefit of such town school district, each county school
board shall require each respective county treasurer to pay over to the
town treasurer, if and when properly bonded, the following funds to be
used for public school and/or educational purposes within such special
town school district:

(1) From the amount derived from a county school levy and/or
appropriations in each respective county for public school and/or educa-
tional purposes, a sum equal to the pro rata amount from such levy or
appropriations derived from such town.

(2) The amount due from State school funds received by each county
for general school purposes, to be determined as between each county and
the town on the same basis of distribution used by the State in making
the distribution of such school funds to the counties and cities.

(8) The amounts due from each county to such special town school
district from special State school funds to be determined in accordance
with the purposes for which the allocations are made.

(c) State funds from special sources.—None of the provisions of this
section shall require the county treasurer to pay over to the town treasurer
of a special town school district any funds received from the State from
special sources, including funds distributed to the localities from the profit
realized from the operation of the State alcoholic beverage control system,
when said town has received direct appropriations or allocations from the
State from the same special sources.

(d) Sections not amended or repealed.—None of the provisions of
this section or §§ 22-42, 22-43, 22-60, 22-67 and 22-99 shall be construed

§ 22-141.1. For the benefit of each town in which there is established
a special town school district operated by a school board of three mem-
bers, the governing body of the county in which such town is located shall
require the county treasurer to pay over to the town treasurer, if and
when properly bonded, the following funds to be placed in the general
fund of the town, subject to appropriation by the governing body of the
town as it may deem necessary:

From the amount derived from a general or unit levy for all county
purposes, a sum equal to such town’s pro rata share of the general or unit
levy receipts derived from the taxable property within the town, including
real estate, tangible personal property, merchants’ capital and machinery
and tools. The pro rata share of the town shall be determined by allocating
to the town the same percentage of general or unit levy receipts as is
appropriated by the county governing body for the support of county
mublic schools and/or for educational purposes.
