PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 257.31, subsection 5, paragraph j, Code
  1  2 1999, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    j.  Unusual need to continue providing a program or other
  1  4 special assistance to non-English speaking pupils after the
  1  5 expiration of the three-year four-year period specified in
  1  6 section 280.4.
  1  7    Sec. 2.  Section 280.4, subsection 3, Code 1999, is amended
  1  8 to read as follows:
  1  9    3.  In order to provide funds for the excess costs of
  1 10 instruction of limited English proficient students above the
  1 11 costs of instruction of pupils in a regular curriculum,
  1 12 students identified as limited English proficient shall be
  1 13 assigned an additional weighting of twenty-five hundredths,
  1 14 and that weighting shall be included in the weighted
  1 15 enrollment of the school district of residence for a period
  1 16 not exceeding three four years.  However, the school budget
  1 17 review committee may grant supplemental aid or modified
  1 18 allowable growth to a school district to continue funding a
  1 19 program for students after the expiration of the three-year
  1 20 four-year period.  The school budget review committee shall
  1 21 calculate the additional amount for the weighting to the
  1 22 nearest one-hundredth of one percent so that to the extent
  1 23 possible the moneys generated by the weighting will be
  1 24 equivalent to the moneys generated by the two-tenths weighting
  1 25 provided prior to July 2, 1991.  
  1 26                           EXPLANATION 
  1 27    This bill provides for an additional weighting for students
  1 28 identified as limited English proficient of twenty-five
  1 29 hundredths, and extends the period of time during which the
  1 30 additional weighting may be obtained from three to four years.
  1 31 The bill deletes the previous provision that the additional
  1 32 weighting shall be calculated by the school budget review
  1 33 committee to the nearest one-hundredths of 1 percent so that
  1 34 to the extent possible the moneys generated by the weighting
  1 35 will be equivalent to the moneys generated by the two-tenths
  2  1 weighting provided prior to July 2, 1991.
  2  2    The bill provides for a corresponding change to Code
  2  3 section 257.31, subsection 5, paragraph "j", concerning
  2  4 requests by school districts for supplemental aid from the
  2  5 school budget review committee based upon an unusual need to
  2  6 continue a program relating to limited English proficiency
  2  7 beyond a four-year period.
