AGRICULTURE LEGISLATION

SENATE FILE 55 - Legalization of Sale of Property by Black Hawk and Buchanan Joint County System(full text of act)

BY REHBERG. This Act legalizes all acts and proceedings taken in 1974 by the board of directors of the joint county system of Black Hawk and Buchanan Counties in connection with a transfer of property to the Independence Community School District. A legalizing Act was enacted in 1974 to put to rest doubts about the authority of the joint county system to transfer property to the community school district. However, the legal description of the property in the legislation was incorrect. This Act corrects the legal description of the property transferred and legalizes the quitclaim deed transferring the property that was recorded.

The Act takes effect April 15, 1999.

SENATE FILE 173 - Vocational Rehabilitation Services Eligibility(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. This Act changes the term "individuals with severe disabilities," which occurs in the Vocational Rehabilitation Chapter of the Iowa Code, in response to a similar change in the phrasing of the federal Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998. The Act strikes the word "severe" and replaces it with the word "significant."

SENATE FILE 457 - Iowa Educational Savings Plan Trust - Miscellaneous Provisions(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS. This Act amends certain Code provisions relating to the Iowa Educational Savings Plan Trust.

The Act removes a previous limitation of $200,000 on the amount of funds that can be transferred from the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund, established for the payment of trust administration and operation costs, and increases the limitation to $400,000 for FY 1998-1999 and FY 1999-2000. For FY 2000-2001, and succeeding fiscal years, trust administration and operation costs will be appropriated annually from the General Fund of the State by the General Assembly.

The Act also changes the minimum trust contribution rate from the previous level of $300 per beneficiary to $50 per beneficiary. The Act provides that a beneficiary may be designated in a participation agreement up to age 18, which represents a one-year increase from the previously specified age of 17, and provides that a substitute beneficiary may be designated who is older than age 18, provided that the substitute beneficiary is not older than the original beneficiary when the substitution takes place.

The Act further provides that a participant's account balance will be refunded to the participant, other than endowment fund earnings and a penalty, if a balance remains in the account 30 days following the beneficiary's 30th birthday, which replaces provisions that specified a date by which payments under participation agreements were required to commence.

The Act additionally deletes refund provisions relating to cancellation of a participation agreement prior to two years from the agreement's original execution date, and different refund provisions relating to cancellation after two years from the original execution date, and replaces them with refund cancellation provisions that apply regardless of when cancellation occurs. The refund provisions under the Act are applicable regardless of when cancellation occurs and provide for the return of a participant's account balance, but not endowment fund investment income, less a refund penalty to be levied by the trust against any account earnings. A corresponding change regarding the term "account balance" is made concerning refunds for reasons specified in the Code relating to death, disability, incapacity, and the awarding of a scholarship, and termination of the program prior to payment of higher education costs.

The Act takes effect May 14, 1999, and applies retroactively to July 1, 1998.

SENATE FILE 459 - School Finance - State Aid - Gifted and Talented Children Program Plans(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. This Act increases the regular program foundation base per pupil, for the portion of weighted enrollment that is additional enrollment because of special education, to 87.5 percent of the regular program state cost per pupil for the school budget year beginning July 1, 1999, and succeeding budget years. The Act also establishes that the regular program allowable growth will be increased by $38 for the school budget year beginning July 1, 1999, with the proportion of a school district's budget which corresponds to the increase utilized exclusively for a school district's talented and gifted program.

The Act takes effect May 24, 1999, for the computation of state school aid for budget years beginning on or after July 1, 1999.

THE GOVERNOR ITEM VETOED THE FOLLOWING:

1. A provision that would have increased the regular program foundation base per pupil from 87.5 percent to 88 percent of the regular program state cost per pupil, including the portion of weighted enrollment that is additional enrollment because of special education, for the school budget year beginning July 1, 1999, and succeeding budget years.
2. A provision that would have increased the special education support services foundation base from 79 percent to 88 percent of the special education support services state cost per pupil for the school budget year beginning July 1, 1999, and succeeding budget years.
3. Provisions that would have restricted the availability of the regular program allowable growth increase of $38 for the school budget year beginning July 1, 1999, such that only school districts which had requested and received approval to fund a gifted and talented program pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 257.46 for the school budget year beginning July 1, 1999, would have received the increase. School districts which did not request and receive approval to fund a gifted and talented program pursuant to the provisions of Code Section 257.46 for the school budget year beginning July 1, 1999, would have been eligible to submit a resolution requesting such funding for the school budget year beginning July 1, 2000, together with a proposed gifted and talented program plan and budget, to the Department of Education by October 1, 1999. A school district submitting a resolution, program plan, and budget would have been eligible to apply to the School Budget Review Committee for modified allowable growth.
4. A provision that, commencing with the school budget year beginning July 1, 2000, would have entitled a school district with additional enrollment, because of special education which had increased for the school budget year over the level previously determined for the base year, to on-time funding from the state. The amount of on-time funding would have equaled the school district's district cost per pupil for the budget year multiplied by the increase in additional enrollment because of special education. The Act had provided an appropriation of up to a maximum of $13 million annually, beginning in FY 2000-2001, from the General Fund of the State to the Department of Education to pay on-time funding in the same manner as other state aid is paid under Code Section 257.16. The Act additionally provided for proration if the amount of on-time funding requested exceeded the amount appropriated.
5. A provision repealing 1989 Iowa Acts, Chapter 135, Section 135, which provides for the repeal of Code Chapter 257 effective July 1, 2001, and a provision establishing legislative review of Code Chapter 257 every five years.

HOUSE FILE 144 - Distribution of Certified School to Career Program Trust Moneys(full text of act)

BY HEATON. This Act affects the distribution of moneys held in trust for a participant in the Certified School to Career Program. A participant in a certified program is defined as an individual between the ages of 16 and 24 who is enrolled in a public or private secondary or postsecondary school and who initiated participation in a certified school to career program as part of their secondary school education. The participant's employer, as part of a certified program agreement between the participant and employer, agrees to pay the participant a base wage and an additional sum to be held in trust and applied toward the participant's postsecondary education, which is required for completion of the certified program.

If the participant does not complete the certified program prior to entering a postsecondary education program, one-half of the moneys being held in trust for the participant's postsecondary education must be paid to an Iowa postsecondary educational institution of the participant's choice to pay tuition or expenses of the participant. This Act expands the participant's options for payment of this half of the trust moneys by allowing the moneys to be used to pay the participant's tuition or expenses in an apprenticeship program of the participant's choice if that program has been approved under a provision of the federal regulations titled "Labor Standards for the Registration of Apprenticeship Programs."

HOUSE FILE 146 - School Finance - Allowable Growth(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. This Act sets the state percent of growth under the State School Foundation Program at 4 percent for the budget year beginning July 1, 2000. The Code provides that the state percent of growth for each subsequent budget year shall be established by statute, which shall be enacted within 30 days of submission in the year preceding the base year of the Governor's budget under Code Section 8.21.

The Act is applicable for computing state aid under the State School Foundation Program for the school budget year beginning July 1, 2000.

HOUSE FILE 147 - Funding for School Districts With Decreasing or Increasing Enrollments(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. This Act provides additional funding for certain school districts experiencing either decreasing or increasing enrollments.

The Act extends the budget guarantee provision, currently applicable to school districts pursuant to Code Section 257.14, to apply for the budget year commencing July 1, 1999. The Act additionally provides that if a school district's regular program district cost is less than its regular program district cost with the budget guarantee provision for the year preceding the budget year, the Department of Management shall provide additional state aid to reach the 100 percent level.

The Act also provides that for the school budget year beginning July 1, 1999, school districts experiencing increasing enrollment may submit a request to the School Budget Review Committee for on-time funding for new students. If approved, the funding would be in an amount of up to the product of the state cost per pupil for the budget year multiplied by the difference between the actual enrollment for the budget year and the budget enrollment for the budget year. The Act makes an appropriation from the General Fund of the State to the Department of Education of up to $4 million for FY 1999-2000 for on-time funding, and provides for proration in the event that this amount is insufficient to fully fund all of the requests for on-time funding received by the School Budget Review Committee.

HOUSE FILE 532 - Education Practitioner Preparation Programs(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. This Act adds to the responsibilities of the State Board of Education relating to practitioner preparation programs and requires the Board of Educational Examiners to develop and implement a one-year pilot study to assess the performance of teacher education graduates.

The Act directs the State Board of Education to adopt rules requiring all higher education institutions providing practitioner preparation to administer a basic skills test to practitioner preparation program admission candidates and deny a candidate admission to the program if the candidate does not successfully pass the basic skills test.

The state board is also directed to adopt rules requiring those institutions providing practitioner preparation to include preparation in reading programs, such as Reading Recovery; integrate reading strategies into content area methods coursework; and incorporate program preparation in classroom management addressing high-risk behaviors, including behaviors related to substance abuse.

Current law requires that practitioner preparation students participate in 50 hours of field experiences observing and participating in teaching activities in school settings. At least 40 of the hours are to take place after the student's admission to the program. The Act changes the focus by striking the 40-hour requirement and replacing it with a requirement that 10 of the 50 hours occur prior to acceptance in the program.

Finally, the Act directs the Board of Educational Examiners to develop and implement a one-year pilot study to assess the performance of teacher education graduates in the areas of content and pedagogy using a standardized, national assessment. The purpose of the study is to measure an education graduate's knowledge in the graduate's chosen major field and the graduate's attainment of pedagogy, to establish baseline data, and to determine whether all students should be assessed prior to initial licensure. The board is directed to submit a report to the Senate and House Education Committees by January 15, 2001. To fund the study, S.F. 464 (see Appropriations) directs the Department of Education to reallocate $200,000 to the board from remaining Extended School Year Grant Program funds.

HOUSE FILE 675 - School Breakfast Programming(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. This Act permits a school district to develop and, with the approval of the Department of Education, implement a plan that provides safe and reasonable student access to a school breakfast program at an alternative attendance center. Code Section 283A.2 was amended in 1994 Iowa Acts, Chapter 1193, with a delayed effective date of July 1, 2000. The Code provision, which is amended by this Act, would have required a school district to operate or provide for the operation of a school breakfast program at all of the attendance centers within the school district.

This Act requires each district plan to provide safe travel routes to and from the alternative breakfast site; minimize student travel time; provide for a reasonable relationship between the time by which a student must arrive at the site, the time breakfast is offered, and the daily school start time; and provide an alternative breakfast site facility adequate for the number of students participating in the breakfast program. The district is also required to notify the parents and guardians of students of the district's intention to develop and implement a plan.

Under current law, a school district that cannot meet the school breakfast program requirements by July 1, 1999, may apply to the Department of Education for a waiver by June 1, 1999. However, this provision is struck from the Code effective July 1, 2000. After that date, each school district will be required to provide a school breakfast program at each public school or, as provided under this Act, provide access to a school breakfast program at an alternative attendance center.

HOUSE FILE 743 - Education Block Grants - Early Intervention and School Improvement Technology(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS. This Act establishes an Iowa Early Intervention Block Grant Program within the Department of Education and appropriates for the program, from the General Fund of the State, $10 million for FY 1999-2000, $20 million for FY 2000-2001, and $30 million for FY 2001-2002. The Act also provides for a School Improvement Technology Block Grant Program by appropriating $30 million annually for FY 2002-2003 and FY 2003-2004, effectively extending the current School Improvement Technology Program for two years. However, the new School Improvement Technology Block Grant Program authorizes school districts to use up to two-thirds of the moneys received under the new technology program for purposes permitted under the Iowa Early Intervention Block Grant Program. The programs include the following provisions:

THE IOWA EARLY INTERVENTION BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM:

Goals. The program's goals for kindergarten through grade three are to provide the resources needed to reduce class sizes in basic skills instruction to the state goal of 17 students to one teacher; provide direction and resources for early intervention efforts by school districts to achieve a higher level of student success in the basic skills, especially reading skills; and increase communication and accountability regarding student performance.

Duties of the Department of Education. The department is directed to identify diagnostic assessment tools that can be used to assess and improve reading skills and student achievement in grades K-3, and to provide a list of those tools to teachers. In addition, the department, in collaboration with the area education agencies (AEAs), school districts, and institutions with approved practitioner preparation programs, is required to identify and serve as a clearinghouse on intensive, research-based strategies and programs for training teachers in both diagnosis and appropriate instruction interventions.

School District Requirements. A school district must develop a class size management strategy to work toward, or to maintain, class sizes in basic instruction for K-3 at the state goal of 17:1; integrate its specific early intervention program goals and activities into its comprehensive school improvement plan; report annually to its school community, the proportion of fourth grade students who are proficient in reading; and biannually inform parents of their child's performance on the diagnostic assessments and of any actions the school district intends to take to improve the child's reading skills. The district must also provide the parents with strategies to enable the parents to improve their child's skills.

Allowable Expenditures. A school district can expend program funds only to support efforts at the K-3 level to reduce class sizes to the state goal and to achieve a higher level of student success in basic skills instruction, especially reading. Moneys may be expended on programs, instructional support and materials, including but not limited to the following: additional licensed instructional staff; additional support for students such as before and after school programs, tutoring, and intensive summer programs; the acquisition and administration of diagnostic reading assessments; the implementation of research-based instructional intervention programs for students needing additional support; the implementation of all-day, everyday kindergarten programs; and the provision of professional development in best practices to classroom teachers.

Program Allocation. For the first two years of the program, moneys are allocated to school districts according to a formula in which 50 percent of the allocation is based upon K-3 per pupil enrollment and 50 percent is based upon the proportion of children in grades one through three who are eligible for free or reduced price meals under the federal National School Lunch Act and the federal Child Nutrition Act of 1966. In the third year, $20 million is allocated to school districts on a per pupil basis, and $10 million is allocated based on the proportion of children in grades one through three who are eligible for free or reduced price meals under the federal National School Lunch Act and the federal Child Nutrition Act of 1966.

THE SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT TECHNOLOGY BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM:

Planning Requirements. School districts are required to include a technology plan, developed by licensed professional staff of the district, as a component of the annual comprehensive school improvement plan submitted to the Department of Education. Prior to receiving school improvement technology funds, the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School, the Iowa School for the Deaf, the Price Laboratory School, and the institutions under the control of the Department of Human Services must each submit to the Department of Education and, as appropriate, the State Board of Regents or the Department of Human Services, a technology plan that supports and improves student achievement, demonstrates how technology will be utilized to improve student achievement, and includes an evaluation component. An annual progress report must also be submitted.

Allowable Block Grant Expenditures. A school district must expend at least one-third of its school improvement technology moneys for the acquisition, lease, lease-purchase, installation, and maintenance of instructional technology equipment, including hardware and software, materials and supplies related to instructional technology, and staff development and training related to instructional technology, and shall establish priorities for the use of the funds. Funds received cannot be expended to increase staffing for school improvement technology.

Program Allocation. From the $30 million appropriated annually, AEAs are allocated $150,000, to be divided among the AEAs based upon each AEA's percentage of the total full-time equivalent elementary and secondary teachers employed in the school districts in this state. Moneys are distributed to school districts on a per pupil basis. The term "school district" is defined to include the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School, the Iowa School for the Deaf, the Price Laboratory School at the University of Northern Iowa, and the following institutions under the control of the Department of Human Services: the State Training School, Iowa Juvenile Home, Glenwood State Hospital-School, Woodward State Hospital-School, and the mental health institutes in Cherokee and Independence. However, the amount of moneys allocated to the Glenwood State Hospital-School, Woodward State Hospital-School, and the mental health institutes at Cherokee and Independence are limited to a combined total of not more than $20,000 for each fiscal year, to be distributed proportionately between the four institutions.

FUTURE REPEAL OF CHAPTER. The Code chapter establishing the two new programs, Chapter 256E, is repealed effective July 1, 2003.

HOUSE FILE 766 - National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification - Awards Pilot Project(full text of act)

BY COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS. This Act strikes from the Code the original National Board Certification Award provisions, and replaces those provisions with language establishing a National Board Certification Pilot Project to be administered by the Department of Education. Under the pilot project, a teacher who registers for or achieves National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification, is employed by a school district in Iowa, and receives a salary as a classroom teacher is eligible for one or all of the following:

• One-time initial and final reimbursement awards for the registration fee charged by the national board, if the teacher registers by June 30, 2002.
• Annual awards, the amount of which varies dependent upon the date by which a teacher registers for and achieves certification, and applies to the department with the necessary documentation of certification.

For teachers who achieve certification by May 1, 2000, including those who received awards during FY 1998-1999, the annual award amount is $5,000 for up to 10 years. However, the department is prohibited from awarding more than $50,000 in annual awards to any one individual during the individual's term of eligibility. All teachers who achieve certification by May 1, 2000, will have achieved certification upon their first attempt, effectively nullifying a provision in the Act that lowers the annual award amount for those teachers who do not achieve certification upon their first attempt.

Teachers who register for certification between January 1, 1999, and January 1, 2002, and achieve certification within three years from the date of initial score notification, are eligible to receive an annual award amount of $2,500 for up to 10 years.

Reimbursement payments and annual awards will be prorated by the department if funds appropriated by the General Assembly are insufficient to pay the full award amounts. The Act also requires the department to prorate annual award amounts once the number of award recipients exceeds 1,100 individuals.

A teacher receiving an annual award may provide additional services to the school district of employment.

Senate File 464 (see Appropriations) appropriates $1 million to the department for the pilot project, and permits the department to retain any moneys remaining at the end of the fiscal year for pilot project use in the subsequent fiscal year.

The Act also requires the department to conduct a study of the effects of the pilot project on teaching quality, professional development, the provision of additional services to school districts by teachers receiving annual awards, and teacher induction and retention in Iowa. The department must submit its findings and recommendations to the chairpersons and ranking members of the standing education committees and the Joint Subcommittee on Education Appropriations by December 1, 2002.

The department is authorized to adopt emergency rules to implement the Act.
