; or (B) any highest poverty local educational agency below the level of funding (as calculated on a per-pupil basis) provided to that local educational agency for such previous fiscal year. (2) Fiscal years without reductions to State aid A State educational agency receiving funds under this part for a fiscal year for which the State did not reduce per-pupil spending from State funds shall satisfactorily demonstrate to the Secretary that, for the preceding fiscal year, the State did not reduce State funding (as calculated on a per-pupil basis) for any highest poverty local educational agency or any high-need local educational agency by any amount. (3) De minimis reduction For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2), the Secretary may disregard a de minimis reduction in State funding to a local educational agency as the Secretary finds appropriate, including for those local educational agencies— (A) with small enrollments that exhibit annual variation in per-pupil funding based primarily on their size; or (B) that exhibit variation in per-pupil funding based on a State funding formula that accounts for the special cost differentials for certain student populations. (4) Definitions In this subsection: (A) Highest poverty local educational agency The term highest poverty local educational agency means a local educational agency that is among the group of local educational agencies in the State that— (i) in rank order, have the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students in the State, on the basis of the most recent satisfactory data available from the Department of Commerce (or, for local educational agencies for which no such data are available, such other data as the Secretary determines are satisfactory)
