 35 26 opportunity foster care grant and scholarship programs, the
 35 27 registered nurse loan and nurse educator forgiveness program,

 35 30    The bill notwithstands the $2.75 million standing
 35 31 appropriation for the Iowa work=study program and provides
 35 32 that the amount appropriated for the 2009=2010 fiscal year is
 35 33 zero.
 35 34    The bill directs the commission to transfer certain
 35 35 unobligated or unexpended funds to be used for purposes of the
 36  1 national guard educational assistance program.  This provision
 36  2 takes effect upon enactment.
 36  3    The bill appropriates moneys to the department of education
 36  4 for purposes of the department's general administration,
 36  5 vocational education administration, division of vocational
 36  6 rehabilitation services including independent living, state

 36 21 the department of education to be used for the beginning
 36 22 teacher mentoring and induction program.  This provision takes
 36 23 effect upon enactment.

 36 34 transportation costs for students residing in the Iowa Braille

 37  1    The bill includes a number of statutory changes:
 37  2    In 2008, the general assembly enacted legislation funding
 37  3 teacher compensation and professional development on a
 37  4 per=pupil basis through the school aid formula.  Funding for
 37  5 teacher salaries and professional development will no longer
 37  6 be allocated under the student achievement and teacher quality
 37  7 program.  The bill amends the program's allocation provisions
 37  8 to allocate funds for the issuance of national board
 37  9 certification awards, the ambassador to education position,
 37 10 and the beginning teacher mentoring and induction program; and
 37 11 strikes language relating to allocations for teacher salaries,
 37 12 professional development, the institute for tomorrow's
 37 13 workforce, and pay=for=performance and career ladder pilots.
 37 14 The bill makes a number of corresponding reference changes.
 37 15 The bill also amends the definition of beginning teacher for
 37 16 purposes of the program to exclude from the definition a
 37 17 teacher whose employment is probationary unless the teacher is
 37 18 serving under an initial or teacher intern license; and
 37 19 provides that a person who holds a statement of professional
 37 20 recognition issued by the board of educational examiners is a
 37 21 career teacher.
 37 22    The bill amends the definition of administrator for
 37 23 purposes of the beginning administer mentoring and induction
 37 24 program to provide that the individual must be engaged in
 37 25 instructional leadership and provides that the definition does
 37 26 not include assistant principals or assistant superintendents.
 37 27    The bill strikes a provision that requires a community
 37 28 board to commit a portion of its school ready grant funding to
 37 29 family support services and parent education programs targeted
 37 30 to families with children who are newborn through age five.
 37 31    The bill strikes provisions that require school districts
 37 32 to spend the same amount on home school assistance programs as
 37 33 they expended for the programming in fiscal year 2007=2008 and
 37 34 which require a school district that offered the program in
 37 35 the 2007=2008 fiscal year to continue to provide the program.
 38  1    A community college receiving state salary funds must
 38  2 divide the funds that will be paid to an individual instructor
 38  3 evenly and pay the funds in each pay period of the fiscal year
 38  4 beginning with the October payroll.
 38  5    The college student aid commission is directed to require
 38  6 certain postsecondary institutions whose students were
 38  7 enrolled in a school district in Iowa to include in its
 38  8 student management information system the unique student
 38  9 identifiers assigned to the institution's students and to
 38 10 report student record data to the commission using the unique
 38 11 student identifier.  The bill reduces the standing
 38 12 appropriation for the Iowa tuition grant, the Iowa tuition
 38 13 grant for students attending for=profit institutions, and the
 38 14 vocational=technical tuition grant.  The age by which an
 38 15 individual can qualify for an all Iowa opportunity foster care
 38 16 grant is reduced from age 18 to age 17.  Language requiring
 38 17 the commission to pay the administration fee to Des Moines
 38 18 university == osteopathic medical center is stricken.
 38 19    The bill repeals the Code chapter establishing the
 38 20 institute for tomorrow's workforce.
