  1  1    Section 1.  Section 294A.5, Code 1997, is amended to read
  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    294A.5  MINIMUM SALARY SUPPLEMENT.
  1  4    1.  For the school year beginning July 1, 1987 1998, and
  1  5 succeeding school years, the minimum annual salary paid to a
  1  6 full-time teacher as regular compensation shall be eighteen
  1  7 twenty-three thousand dollars.
  1  8    2.  The minimum salary supplement shall be the sum of the
  1  9 following, as applicable:
  1 10    a.  For the school year beginning July 1, 1987 1998, for
  1 11 phase I, each school district and area education agency shall
  1 12 certify to the department of education by the third Friday in
  1 13 September the names of all teachers employed by the district
  1 14 or area education agency whose regular compensation is less
  1 15 than eighteen twenty-three thousand dollars per year for that
  1 16 year and the amounts needed as minimum salary supplements.
  1 17 The minimum salary supplement for each eligible teacher is the
  1 18 total of the difference between eighteen twenty-three thousand
  1 19 dollars and the teacher's regular compensation plus the amount
  1 20 required to pay the employer's share of the federal social
  1 21 security and Iowa public employees' retirement system, or a
  1 22 pension and annuity retirement system established under
  1 23 chapter 294, payments on the additional salary moneys.
  1 24 However, for purposes of this paragraph, a teacher's regular
  1 25 compensation for the school year beginning July 1, 1998, shall
  1 26 not be lower than twenty-three thousand dollars.
  1 27    b.  The total minimum salary supplement paid to a school
  1 28 district under phase I for the school year beginning July 1,
  1 29 1997.
  1 30    Sec. 2.  Section 294A.6, unnumbered paragraph 1, Code 1997,

  1 32    1.  For the school year beginning July 1, 1987 1998, the
  1 33 department of education shall notify the department of revenue
  1 34 and finance of the total minimum salary supplement, as
  1 35 described in section 294A.5, subsection 2, paragraphs "a" and
  2  1 "b", to be paid to each school district and area education
  2  2 agency under phase I and the department of revenue and finance
  2  3 shall make the payments.  For school years after the school
  2  4 year beginning July 1, 1987 1998, if a school district or area
  2  5 education agency reduces the number of its full-time
  2  6 equivalent teachers below the number employed during the
  2  7 school year beginning July 1, 1987 1998, the department of
  2  8 revenue and finance shall reduce the total minimum salary
  2  9 supplement payable to that school district or area education
  2 10 agency so that the amount paid is equal to the ratio of the
  2 11 number of full-time equivalent teachers employed in the school
  2 12 district or area education agency for that school year divided
  2 13 by the number of full-time equivalent teachers employed in the
  2 14 school district or area education agency for the school year
  2 15 beginning July 1, 1987 1998, and multiplying that fraction by
  2 16 the total minimum salary supplement paid to that school
  2 17 district or area education agency for the school year
  2 18 beginning July 1, 1987 1998.
  2 19    Sec. 3.  Section 294A.25, subsection 1, Code Supplement
  2 20 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  2 21    1.  For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1990 1998, and
  2 22 for each succeeding year, there is appropriated from the
  2 23 general fund of the state to the department of education the
  2 24 amount of ninety-two eighty-two million one nine hundred
  2 25 ninety-one thousand eighty-five three hundred thirty-six
  2 26 dollars to be used to improve teacher salaries.  For each
  2 27 fiscal year in the fiscal period commencing July 1, 1991, and
  2 28 ending June 30, 1993, there is appropriated an amount equal to
  2 29 the amount appropriated for the fiscal year beginning July 1,
  2 30 1990, plus an amount sufficient to pay the costs of the
  2 31 additional funding provided for school districts and area
  2 32 education agencies under sections 294A.9 and 294A.14.  For
  2 33 each fiscal year beginning on or after July 1, 1995, there is
  2 34 appropriated the sum which was appropriated for the previous
  2 35 fiscal year, including supplemental payments.  The moneys
  3  1 shall be distributed as provided in this section.  
  3  2                           EXPLANATION
