 special election for the school district an amount determined in accordance with this section.
    (2) If a school district's regular or special election is held in conjunction with another
 election conducted by a county, city, or township, the school district shall pay the county, city,
 or township 100% of the actual additional costs attributable to conducting the school district's
 regular or special election. If a school district's regular or special election is not held in

 shall pay the county, city, or township 100% of the actual costs of conducting the school
 district's regular or special election.

 actual costs of conducting the school district's regular or special election not later than 84 days
 after the date of the election. The school board shall pay or disapprove all or a portion of the
 verified account within 84 days after the school district receives a verified account of actual
 costs under this subsection.
    (4) If the school board disapproves all or a portion of a verified account of actual costs
 under subsection (3), the school board shall send a notice of disapproval along with the
 reasons for the disapproval to the county, city, or township. Upon request of a county, city, or
 township whose verified account or portion of a verified account was disapproved under this
 section, the school board shall review the disapproved costs with the county, city, or township.
    (5) A school board, county, city, or township shall use the agreement made between the
 department of treasury and the secretary of state, as required by section 487, as a basis for
 preparing and evaluating verified accounts under this section. The secretary of state shall assist
 a school board, county, city, or township in preparing and evaluating a verified account under
 this section. If a county, city, or township and a school board cannot agree on the actual costs
 of an election as prescribed by this section, the secretary of state shall determine those actual
 costs.
