The minimum amount of the cost of the total allocation from General Fund revenue sources for 1988-89 shall be increased by the total amount expended by the State in 1986-87 for teacher recognition grants in accordance with section 13503-A and block grants in accordance with section 13509. The resulting percentage shall be used to define the minimum percentage contribution from General Fund revenue sources in 1988-89 and subsequent years.
