Wherever the attendance of pupils is not included in the computation of the average daily attendance of a school district for any fiscal year because the certification document of the person employed by the district to instruct such pupils was not in force during the period of such attendance, the governing board of the district may, upon payment of the salary of such person pursuant to Section 45036, or similar provisions of law, report such attendance to the Superintendent of Public Instruction during the fiscal year in which such salary is paid. Such report shall be made in such form as shall be prescribed and furnished by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Thereafter the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall add to the apportionment from the State School Fund to the district during the next succeeding fiscal year or years, as determined by him but not exceeding three, the additional amount to which the district would have been entitled in the fiscal year next succeeding that in which such attendance was not included in the computation of the average daily attendance of the district if such amount is at least one hundred dollars ($100) or more.
Any such additional amount shall be apportioned from the State School Fund before any other apportionment from such fund is made and shall be allowed from any portion of such fund except that portion reserved as allowances for basic state aid.
