12 11 EXPLANATION
12 12 This bill provides that beginning in fiscal year 2010, the
12 13 funding for teacher compensation, professional development,
12 14 early intervention, and educational excellence phase II shall
12 15 be implemented on a per pupil basis through the school aid
12 16 formula.
12 17 Code section 257.1 is amended to add the teacher salary
12 18 supplement, the professional development supplement, and the
12 19 early intervention supplement to the funding sources whose
12 20 amounts should not be rounded to the nearest whole dollar when
12 21 computations are done.
12 22 The bill amends Code section 257.4 to require that the
12 23 district cost for total teacher salary supplement, total
12 24 professional development salary supplement, early intervention
12 25 supplement, area education agency (AEA) total teacher salary
12 26 supplement, and AEA total professional development supplement
12 27 be funded entirely through state aid.
12 28 The bill creates Code section 257.8, subsection 1A, in
12 29 order to establish a categorical state percent of growth. The
12 30 categorical state percent of growth must be set each year by
12 31 the general assembly within 30 days of the submission in the
12 32 year preceding the base year of the governor's budget. The
12 33 percent of growth will be the only subject of the bill;
12 34 however, the bill may include state percents of growth for the
12 35 teacher salary supplement, the professional development
13 1 supplement, and the early intervention supplement.
13 2 Code section 257.9 is amended to add five new subsections.
13 3 Each subsection establishes a state cost per pupil beginning
13 4 with the school budget year beginning July 1, 2009, for the
13 5 following: the teacher salary supplement, the professional
13 6 development supplement, the early intervention supplement, the
13 7 AEA teacher salary supplement, and the AEA professional
13 8 development supplement.
13 9 Code section 257.10 is amended to provide that the district
13 10 cost of the total teacher salary supplement, the total
13 11 professional development supplement, the early intervention
13 12 supplement, the AEA total teacher salary supplement, and the
13 13 AEA total professional development supplement shall each be
13 14 added to a school district's combined district cost.
13 15 The bill adds three new subsections to Code section 257.10.
13 16 New subsection 9 establishes the teacher salary supplement
13 17 cost per pupil and district cost beginning with the school
13 18 budget year beginning July 1, 2009, and is based on
13 19 allocations made to school districts for the school budget
13 20 year beginning July 1, 2008, for student achievement and
