The superintendent shall adjust the amount of the transportation operation allocation for low ridership, nonhigh, districts in interdistrict transportation cooperatives, and educational service districts operating special transportation services in the following manner:

1. (1) The district's prior school year's transportation funding percentage is compared to the state median percent funded;
2. (2) If the district's prior year transportation funding percentage is greater than the state median percent funded no adjustment is made; and
3. (3) If the district's prior year transportation funding percentage is less than the state median percent funded, the allocation shall be adjusted by the difference between the state median percent funded and the district's prior year transportation funding percentage.
