(b) The superintendent of public instruction may withhold the monthly learning assistance program apportionment payment to a school district, charter school, or tribal compact school if the school district, charter school, or tribal compact school fails to submit its annual report for the prior school year to the superintendent of public instruction by the established due date. The first learning assistance program apportionment payment of the school year and subsequent allocations may be withheld until the annual reports are completed in approvable form.
(2) Learning assistance program moneys include a district learning assistance program base allocation and a learning assistance program high-poverty based school allocation for eligible schools.

(ii) An eligible school's funded students for the learning assistance high-poverty based allocation shall be the sum of the school's annual average full-time enrollment in grades K-12 for the prior year.
