(a) In addition to funding generated by the education resource block grant model, the department of education shall reimburse each school district for amounts expended for student enrollment in and completion of dual enrollment courses pursuant to an agreement with the University of Wyoming or a community college under W.S. 21-20-201. From amounts appropriated by the legislature, the department of education shall distribute funds not to exceed ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) each school year from the public school foundation program account pursuant to this section. (b) The department of education shall promulgate rules necessary to implement this section.

Any denial shall be in writing and shall state the specific reasons for the denial. (c) The department shall annually distribute funds to school districts in accordance with this section. If the funds appropriated for this program are insufficient to pay approved reimbursement expenses submitted by school districts, the payments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis relative to each school district's proportion of completed credit hours. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, school districts, the University of Wyoming and community colleges shall not limit the number of dual enrollment courses in which a student may enroll pursuant to W.S. 21-20-201.
