The district may waive all or a portion of the payment required by this section.
(B) Students attending a school pursuant to this section must be counted in enrollment for purposes of determining state aid to the district.
(C) If the payment to the school district is not made within a reasonable time as determined by the district, the child must be removed from the school after notice is given.
(D) Any nonresident student enrolled in the schools of a district no later than September 9, 1996, shall not be required to meet the conditions of subsection (A) of this section as long as the student is continuously enrolled in the district and as long as the student meets the qualifications provided by law for attending the schools of the district."
