12 2 New subsection 9 establishes the teacher salary supplement
12 3 cost per pupil and district cost beginning with the school

12 6 year beginning July 1, 2008, for student achievement and

12 8 excellence phase II. The subsection also provides that,
12 9 beginning with the school budget year beginning July 1, 2010,
12 10 the per pupil cost will increase by the statewide allowable
12 11 growth amount enacted for each budget year. The subsection
12 12 provides for a budget adjustment that would guarantee each
12 13 district 101 percent of the previous year's teacher salary
12 14 supplement district cost, not including the previous year's
12 15 budget adjustment. The bill requires that funds received from
12 16 the teacher salary supplement be used in compliance with

12 27 subsection also provides that, beginning with the school

12 29 increase by the statewide allowable growth amount enacted for
12 30 that budget year. The subsection provides for a budget
12 31 adjustment that would guarantee each district 101 percent of
12 32 the previous year's professional development teacher salary
12 33 supplement district cost, not including the previous year's
12 34 budget adjustment. The bill requires that the funds received
12 35 from the professional development teacher salary supplement be
13 1 used in compliance with the requirements specified in Code
13 2 chapter 284.
13 3 New subsection 11 establishes the early intervention
13 4 supplement cost per pupil and district cost beginning with the

13 19 Code section 257.35 is amended to provide that funding for
13 20 the AEA teacher salary supplement and the AEA professional
13 21 development teacher salary supplement flow through the school
13 22 districts to the appropriate AEA.
13 23 The bill creates new Code section 257.35A in order to
13 24 establish the AEA funding for teacher salary supplement and
13 25 professional development teacher salary supplement for cost
13 26 per pupil and district cost.
13 27 New Code section 257.35A provides that the AEA teacher
13 28 salary supplement cost per pupil and district cost is
13 29 established beginning with the school budget year beginning
13 30 July 1, 2009, and is based on allocations made to AEAs for the
13 31 school budget year beginning July 1, 2008, for student
13 32 achievement and teacher quality teacher compensation and
13 33 educational excellence phase II. The Code section also
13 34 provides that, beginning with the school budget year beginning
13 35 July 1, 2010, the per pupil cost will increase by the
14 1 statewide allowable growth amount enacted for that budget
14 2 year. The Code section provides for a budget adjustment that
14 3 would guarantee each AEA 101 percent of the previous year's
14 4 teacher salary supplement district cost, not including the
14 5 previous year's budget adjustment. The bill requires that the
14 6 funds received from the teacher salary supplement be used in
14 7 compliance with the requirements specified in Code chapters
14 8 284 and 294A.
14 9 New Code section 257.35A also establishes AEA professional
14 10 development teacher salary supplement cost per pupil and
14 11 district cost beginning with the school budget year beginning
14 12 July 1, 2009, and is based on allocations made to AEAs for the
14 13 school budget year beginning July 1, 2008, for student
14 14 achievement and teacher quality professional development. The
14 15 Code section also provides that, beginning with the school
14 16 budget year beginning July 1, 2010, the per pupil cost will
14 17 increase by the statewide allowable growth amount enacted for
14 18 that budget year. The Code section provides for a budget
14 19 adjustment that would guarantee each district 101 percent of
14 20 the previous year's professional development teacher salary
14 21 supplement district cost, not including the previous year's
14 22 budget adjustment. The bill requires that the funds received
14 23 from the professional development teacher salary supplement be
14 24 used in compliance with the requirements specified in Code
14 25 chapter 284.
14 26 The bill creates new Code section 257.51, which requires
14 27 that, beginning with the school budget year beginning July 1,
14 28 2009, any state appropriations made to school districts or
14 29 AEAs for teacher salaries through the student achievement and
14 30 teacher quality program, the educational excellence phase II
14 31 program, the professional development through the student
14 32 achievement and teacher quality program, or the early
14 33 intervention and class size reduction program will be added on
14 34 a per pupil basis through the school aid formula.
