Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, except for section 12B of chapter 76 of the General Laws and section 89 of chapter 71 of the General Laws, the total amounts to be distributed and paid to each city, town, regional school district, independent agricultural school, and county maintaining an agricultural school from items 0611-5500 and 7061-0008 of section 2 shall be as set forth in this section.  The specified amounts to be distributed from item 7061-0008 of said section 2 are hereby deemed to be in full satisfaction of the amounts due under the provisions of sections 3, 6, and 7 of chapter 70 of the General Laws.  The specified amounts to be distributed from item 0611-5500 of said section 2 are hereby deemed to be in full satisfaction of the amounts due under section 37 of chapter 21 of the General Laws. No payments to cities, towns, or counties maintaining an agricultural school pursuant to this section shall be made after November 30 of the fiscal year by the state treasurer until he receives certification from the commissioner of revenue of said commissioner's acceptance of the prior fiscal year's annual financial reports submitted pursuant to the provisions of section 43 of chapter 44 of the General Laws.

Notwithstanding the definition of "Net school spending" in section 2 of chapter 70 of the General Laws, for the purpose of calculating the minimum required local contribution for fiscal year 2004, pursuant to said chapter 70, the department of education shall consider health care costs for retired teachers to be part of net school spending for any municipality in which health care costs for retired teachers were considered to be part of net school spending in fiscal year 1994. The department shall not consider health care costs for retired teachers to be part of net school spending for any district in which such costs were not considered part of net school spending in fiscal year 1994. If there is a conflict between the provisions of this section and the distributions listed below, the distribution below shall control.

Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, for fiscal year 2004, Chapter 70 aid shall be the difference between a district’s foundation budget and the sum of that district’s share of preliminary local contributions of member communities as determined by the department of education pursuant to section 3 of said chapter 70, plus aid as needed to guarantee that in no case is total chapter 70 aid less than 84.5% of a district’s total chapter 70 aid in fiscal year 2003.  In no case shall the wage adjustment factor as defined in section 2 of said chapter 70 be less than 1.  Preliminary local contribution shall be calculated as for house bill 4000, as reported out of the house committee on ways and means.

Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, any Chapter 70 school aid amount allocated to any school district for fiscal year 2004 in excess of the amount that appeared in section 3 of House Bill 4000 shall be made available to the district’s school committee for expenditure without further local appropriation upon the request of the school committee and the vote of the local appropriation authority as defined in section 21C of Chapter 59 of the General Laws, following a recommendation of the local appropriation, finance, or advisory committee, if any.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any general or special law to the contrary, the sum appropriated in item 7061-0022 of section 2 shall be for disbursement to certain cities and towns as provided in said item and in this section.
