deduct from any allocation from the Commonwealth to which the
school district is entitled the amount of the discount the
school district would otherwise receive under section 1002(b) of
the "Workers' Compensation Act."
(b) This section shall not apply to a school district that
would not qualify for the discount under section 1002(b) of the
