pass-through grant shall be an amount equal to 35% of the amount of the school district's mental health intervention team grant: And provided further, That moneys provided to a school district for the

among all districts: And provided further, That the above agency shall be responsible for the allocation and distribution of grants in accordance with appropriation acts: And provided further, That
