The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall during each

times as needed to the county school service fund of each county
eligible to receive reimbursement from the amount credited to the
county school service fund contingency account in the State General
Fund, the amounts claimed by the county superintendent of schools as
expenditures from the county school service fund eligible for
reimbursement. No amounts for purposes specified in Section 14035
shall be included in the budgets submitted by a county superintendent
of schools to the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
The budget submitted pursuant to Section 14050 shall include
an amount equal to that specified by law as the state's contribution
toward payment of the annual salary of the county superintendent of

salary of the county superintendent of schools. Such amount shall be
paid for such purpose from the allowance made to the county school

education of adults with disabilities in classes established by the

he or she shall by rule or regulation adopt that shall give highest
priority to those counties in which no program or an insufficient
program for the education of adults with disabilities is provided by
the school districts within the county, in order to comply with the
limitation prescribed by this section.
