The superintendent of public instruction shall approve requests for an emergency advance if the following conditions are met:

1. (1) The unforeseen condition causing the need for the emergency advance could not have been anticipated by a reasonably prudent person.

2. (2) It is probable that if the emergency advance is not made that the school district or charter school will be on:

   1. (a) An interest-bearing, warrant-issuing basis within two months following the receipt of the resolution; and
   2. (b) Warrant interest for at least three months from September through June.

3. (3) The school district or charter school shall not have:

   1. (a) Cash investments of the general fund during the months it estimates that it would pay warrant interest except for the emergency advance; or
   2. (b) Inter-fund loans from the general fund to any other funds during the months it estimates that it would pay warrant interest; or

   3. (c) Any existing or anticipated general fund revenue anticipated notes.

      Applications and payouts for apportionment advances can be processed only during the months of October through July. Advance requests for the months of May and June shall not be approved if the superintendent of public instruction determines that the school district or charter school would be short paid at the end of the fiscal year due to lack of appropriation of funds after considering transfer authority.
