(2) Each district in the county shall be entitled to receive distribution during a budget year of moneys in the county public school fund in the proportion that its funded pupil count in the county is to the aggregate of the funded pupil counts of all districts in the county.
(3) The department of education shall determine the proportionate part of the county public school fund to be paid during the budget year to each district in the county and, on or before the first day of each budget year, shall certify such determination to the county treasurer. The certified proportions shall be the basis upon which the moneys in the fund shall be distributed during the ensuing budget year. At the end of each month during such year, the county treasurer shall credit or pay over the proper proportions of the moneys in the fund to the general funds of the districts in the county.
(4) For the purpose of determination and certification by the state board and distribution of moneys in the fund, the funded pupil count of a joint district shall be apportioned and assigned to the portion of the district in each county having territory in the district in the same proportion as the portion of the district's funded pupil count attributable to pupils resident in each county bears to the total funded pupil count of the joint district. The secretary of the board of education of each joint district shall certify to the state board the required information applicable to each county.
