24. Annually by December 15, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Human Services, the Department of Children and Families and the Youth Justice Commission shall each submit to the commissioner for approval, with respect to the facilities under their operational or supervisional authority, a budget for educational programs as set forth in section 8 of P.L.1979, c.207 (C.18A:7B-4) for the subsequent year, together with enrollments and per pupil costs. For the purposes of calculating a per pupil cost, enrollment shall be based on the number of pupils in the State facility on the last school day prior to October 16 of the prebudget year.
In the subsequent year, pursuant to P.L.1979, c.207 (C.18A:7B-1 et seq.) for students resident in a district, approved per pupil amounts shall be deducted from each school district's State aid and remitted to the appropriate agency, except that for county juvenile detention centers, no deduction shall be made until Fiscal Year 1999; in that year and thereafter, 50 percent of approved per pupil amounts shall be deducted and remitted to the Youth Justice Commission.
