Supplemental apportionment.-If the superintendent apportions to a county, part of a county or a school district, an amount less than it is entitled to receive, he may make up the deficiency by a supplemental apportionment, which shall be paid out of the contingent fund, if sufficient; if not, he shall include it in his next

annual apportionment.

(Page 13, § 10.)

§ 206. Correcting error in apportionment.-If any error occurs in the apportionment by the commissioners by which the amount apportioned to a district is more, r less, than it is entitled to receive, they may in their next annual apportionment, with the approval of the superintendent, correct the error by increasing or reducing the share of such district.

§ 207. Allowance to excluded districts. Whenever any school district shall have been excluded from participation in any appor tionment made by the superintendent, or by the school commissioners, by reason of its having omitted to make any report required by law, or to comply with any other provision of law, or with any rule, decision, order or regulation made by the superintendent under the authority of law, and it shall be shown to the superintendent that such omission was accidental or excusable, he may, on the appli

cation of such district, make to it an equitable allowance; and if the apportionment was made by himself, cause it to be paid out of the contingent fund; and, if the apportionment was made by the commissioners, direct them to apportion such allowance to it, at their next annual apportionment, in addition to any apportionment to which it may then be entitled.

such apportionment, according to the basis of the apportion

ment in which the excess occurred.

§ 212. Apportionment by school commissioners. The school commissioners annually on the third Tuesday of March, at the county seat, shall apportion and divide the free school fund and other school moneys as follows:

1. They shall set apart to each city, village and district entitled thereto the several supervision and district quotas.

2. To every district which did not participate in the apportionment of the preceding year, and which the superintendent shall have excused, such equitable sum as he shall have allowed to it.

3. The sum to which a county is entitled shall be apportioned among the districts and parts of districts therein, according to a ratio to be ascertained by dividing such sum by the aggregate number of days attendance in such districts and parts of districts.

The aggregate days attendance must be ascertained by adding together the whole number of days attendance of resident pupils of school age, and also of resident children over four years of age who shall have attended any free kindergarten legally estab lished in the district.

4. All sums in the county treasury to which the county or a city, town, village or district therein is entitled by gift, grant, devise or otherwise, for use in the payment of teachers' wages, shall be included in the apportionment. If such moneys belong to a county, they shall be added to the amount apportioned to the county by the superintendent. If they belong to any particular district, they shall be set apart and credited to it. If they belong to a town, they shall be added to the sum otherwise apportioned to the town, and the whole sum shall be apportioned

to the several districts and parts of districts therein, according

to a ratio based on the aggregate attendance.
