(c) School districts shall apply for grants pursuant to this section at such times and in such manner as the commissioner prescribes.
(d) Priority school districts shall receive grants based on the formula established in subdivision (1) of subsection (e) of section 10-265f. The Department of Education may retain up to one per cent of the amount of funds appropriated for purposes of this section for coordination, program evaluation and administration.
