     4  the two thousand nineteen--two thousand twenty school year and thereaft-
     5  er, a school district other than a city school district in a city having
     6  a population of one million or more inhabitants shall be eligible for an
     7  incentive apportionment for providing shared transportation services  to
     8  one or more other public school districts. The amount of such apportion-
     9  ment  under  this  paragraph  shall  be  equal to the product of (i) the
    10  amount of revenue received  from  another  public  school  district  for
    11  providing  shared  transportation  services  to one or more other public
    12  school districts and (ii) ten percent. For the  purpose  of  this  para-
    13  graph,  the commissioner of education shall be authorized to approve any
    14  contract for shared transportation services between one or  more  public
    15  school  districts  pursuant to section thirty-six hundred twenty-five of
    16  this article and provided a school district claiming an incentive appor-
    17  tionment under such contract shall demonstrate cost savings  in  accord-
    18  ance  with  guidelines  established  by  the  commissioner. If the total
    19  statewide apportionment  under  this  paragraph  exceeds  three  million
    20  dollars  ($3,000,000),  individual  school district allocations shall be
    21  prorated to ensure that the apportionment for such shared transportation
    22  incentive aid  does  not  exceed  three  million  dollars  ($3,000,000),
    23  provided  that  such  prorated  apportionment computed and payable as of
    24  September one of the school year immediately following the  school  year
