34 entitled to a salary-based apportionment calculated as provided in this sec-
35 tion.
36 1. To determine the apportionment for instructional staff, first deter-
37 mine the district average experience and education index by placing all eligi-
38 ble district certificated instructional employees on the statewide index pro-
39 vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is the district
40 index. Districts with an index above the state average index shall receive
41 their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the
42 1994-95 school year, and shall receive their actual index but not more than
43 the state average plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and thereafter shall
44 receive their actual district index. The district instructional staff index
45 shall be multiplied by the instructional base salary of $20, 306
46 915 . The amount so determined shall be multiplied by the
47 district staff allowance for instructional staff determined as provided in
48 section 33-1004 2., Idaho Code. The resulting amount is the district's
49 salarybased salary-based apportionment for instructional
3
1 staff.
2 2. To determine the apportionment for district administrative staff,
3 first determine the district average experience and education index by placing
4 all eligible certificated administrative employees on the statewide index pro-
5 vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is the district
6 index. Districts with an index above the state average index shall receive
7 their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the school
8 year 1994-95, and shall receive their actual index but not more than the state
9 average index plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and thereafter shall
10 receive their actual district index. The district administrative staff index
11 shall be multiplied by the base salary of $ 29,708 30,599
12 . The amount so determined shall be multiplied by the district staff
13 allowance for administrative staff determined as provided in section 33-1004
14 3., Idaho Code. The resulting amount is the district's salary-based apportion-
15 ment for administrative staff.
16 3. To determine the apportionment for classified staff, multiply $
17 15,759 16,232 by the district classified staff allowance
18 determined as provided in section 33-1004 4., Idaho Code. The amount so deter-
19 mined is the district's apportionment for classified staff.
20 4. The district's salary-based apportionment shall be the sum of the
21 apportionments calculated in subsections 1., 2. and 3., of this section, plus
22 the benefit apportionment as provided in section 33-1004F, Idaho Code.
23 SECTION 6. The Department of Education shall have the authority to moni-
24 tor and evaluate the use of funds appropriated to public school districts for

31 enrollment statewide.

33 priated in Section 3 of this act shall be expended by the Superintendent of

35 $7,000,000 for one-time expenditures for the Public School Technology Grant
36 Program upon direction of the Idaho Council for Technology in Learning, in
37 accordance with Section 33-4806, Idaho Code; and $265,000 to be transferred to
38 the Library Services Improvement Fund for the State Library's "Libraries Link-
39 ing Idaho" (LiLI) statewide database licensing project. Of the $7,000,000 des-
40 ignated for one-time expenditures, $3,000,000 shall not be expended until the

49 tiveness of the Public School Technology Grant Program in improving student
50 learning and achievement. The evaluation shall include an independent third
51 party review as determined by the Governor with a report of the evaluation and
4
1 review to be received by the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee, Senate
2 Education Committee, and House Education Committee no later than December 1,

31 tion. Of the remaining amount, ninety-five percent (95%) shall be distributed
32 to each school district through a combination of a base amount of $1,500 and a
33 prorated amount based on the prior year's average daily attendance. Of the
34 remaining five percent (5%), $80,000 shall be distributed on a one-time basis
35 to the Commission on Hispanic Affairs and used to encourage and direct His-
36 panic youth away from the habitual use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs by

10 room teachers to be involved in college planning, parent contact, Individual
11 Education Plan (IEP) development, curriculum modification, or other necessary
12 activities directly related to meeting the needs of students in regular educa-
13 tion classrooms;
14 (4) Moneys in this section shall be distributed pro rata to the districts
15 as follows: fifty percent (50%) on the basis of the prior year's December
16 first child count and fifty percent (50%) on the basis of the prior year's
17 average daily attendance.
18 It is legislative intent that these funds be used to supplement rather
19 than supplant existing efforts in the training of regular classroom teachers
20 and the employment and training of aides; and that the State Department of
21 Education shall create a one-page report to be provided to the Legislature
22 showing current individual district expenditures in this area, as well as a
23 breakdown of how these appropriated moneys were spent.
24 It is further legislative intent that these funds shall not be used in any
25 calculation or report to the federal government that obligates a future appro-
26 priation of this amount or any other amount.
27 SECTION 17. It is legislative intent that $500,000 of the moneys appro-
28 priated in Section 3 of this act be distributed to train general education
29 teachers, gifted/talented (G/T) facilitators, administrators and/or parents to
30 better meet the needs of gifted/talented students. One-half (1/2) of these
31 funds shall be allocated pro rata based on each district's prior year total
32 student enrollment compared to the prior year total statewide enrollment. One-
33 half (1/2) of these funds shall be allocated based on the number of
34 gifted/talented students identified and served as indicated on the prior
35 year's December first child count. The number of gifted/talented students
36 identified for purposes of this section will not exceed seven percent (7%) of
37 the district's total student enrollment. No district will receive less than
38 $300. Funds shall be distributed upon submission and approval of an applica-
39 tion submitted to the State Department of Education demonstrating how in-ser-
40 vice training will establish or improve identification and service of
41 gifted/talented students in the five (5) mandated talent areas.
42 SECTION 18. There is hereby appropriated from the Public School Income
43 Fund the amount necessary for property tax replacement, to be expended accord-
44 ing to Section 33-1002D, Idaho Code, for the period July 1, 1999, through June
45 30, 2000.
46 SECTION 19. It is legislative intent that up to $200,000 of the moneys
47 appropriated in Section 3 of this act be used to update the 1993 Public
48 Schools Facilities Study.
49 SECTION 20. It is legislative intent that up to $51,000 of the moneys
50 appropriated in Section 3 of this act be awarded to those instructional staff
6
1 members who have successfully completed certification by the National Board
2 for Professional Teaching Standards as of July 1 of each year. The staff mem-
3 ber having obtained national certification shall be designated as a master
4 teacher and receive a one-time award for this accomplishment if employed by an
5 Idaho school district for that same academic year.
6 SECTION 21. Whereas the Legislature recognizes that due to the reduction
7 of Public Employee Retirement System rates and the reduction of the estimated
8 support units used to establish budgets for Idaho's school districts, an addi-
9 tional and substantial amount of state discretionary funding per support unit
10 will become available. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature that this
11 additional state financial support, together with those amounts estimated in
12 the regular fiscal year 2000 budget, be utilized by the school districts as a
13 one-time supplement to discretionary funding needs.
14 SECTION 22. It is legislative intent that $3,916,000 of the moneys appro-
15 priated in Section 3 of this act be used to implement Idaho's 1999
16 "Comprehensive Literacy Act: Every Child's Birthright" in the form and fashion
17 prescribed according to the associated legislation.
