employees of such school district will or will not be covered by the

Federal Social Security Program.

If it is determined that the employees of the school district

will be covered by the Federal Social Security Program, the board of

education of the school district shall forthwith pay, from funds

withheld or set aside as hereinbefore provided, to the state agency

designated to receive social security contributions of political

withheld from employees' salaries shall forthwith be returned to the

employees from whom they are withheld, and the amounts set aside

from school district funds shall forthwith be replaced in the

General Fund of the school district and made available for financing

the appropriations of the district, but shall not be considered as

income chargeable to the support of the minimum program of the

school district.
