(b) “Student enrollment count” means the enrollment count on the first school day of October, as described in Subsection 53F-2-302(3).

(3) Subject to legislative appropriations, the state board, in consultation with the Office of the Legislative Fiscal Analyst and the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget, shall use program funds to:

(b) for fiscal year 2022, fund ongoing impacts of student enrollment changes in the 2021-2022 academic year, including:

(i) assigning additional weighted pupil units to an LEA experiencing a net growth in weighted pupil units over the fiscal year 2022 base allocations associated with student enrollment increases following the student enrollment count;

(ii) at the request of an LEA that experienced a significant decline in student enrollment during the 2020-2021 academic year, pre-fund significantly higher anticipated student enrollment growth before the student enrollment count;  and

(iii) with any remaining weighted pupil units, pay other weighted pupil unit related costs in accordance with Section 53F-2-205.

(4) If the state board pre-funds anticipated student enrollment growth under Subsection (3)(b)(ii), the state board shall:
