Section 54343.

Allowances for the mathematics specialist program shall be made by the Superintendent of Public Instruction in accordance with a system of priorities that he shall by rule and regulation adopt, designed to carry out the intent and purpose of the Legislature stated in Section 54300. As a basis for such system of priorities, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, upon receipt of all applications for a fiscal year, shall determine and use the relative financial ability of each applicant district as measured by the assessed valuation per unit of average daily attendance in the district. The Superintendent of Public Instruction may use additional factors as a basis for a system of priorities as long as such factors are not in conflict with the intent and purpose of the Legislature.

The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall make no allowances in any year in excess of the amount appropriated by the Legislature for the purposes of this chapter.
