However, no sparse school district may receive a sparsity benefit in any year that exceeds one hundred twenty-three thousand seven hundred fifty dollars. If the appropriation is insufficient to fully fund all sparse school districts as per the calculation in either subdivision 13-13-78(2) or subdivision 13-13-78(3), each eligible district shall receive a pro rata share of the total appropriated amount one hundred ten thousand dollars.
