                                   SENATE BILL NO. 1407

                                  BY EDUCATION COMMITTEE

 1                                        AN ACT
 2    RELATING TO THE APPORTIONMENT OF STATE FUNDS  TO  SCHOOL  DISTRICTS;  AMENDING
 3        SECTION  33-1004E,  IDAHO  CODE,  TO  PROVIDE A SPECIAL APPLICATION OF THE
 4        DISTRICT'S SALARY-BASED APPORTIONMENT FOR STAFF ALLOWANCE IN THE EVENT  OF
 5        DISTRICT CONSOLIDATION.

 6    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

 7        SECTION  1.  That Section 33-1004E, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 8    amended to read as follows:

 9        33-1004E.  DISTRICT'S SALARY-BASED APPORTIONMENT. Each district  shall  be
10    entitled  to  a salary-based apportionment calculated as provided in this sec-
11    tion.
12        1.  To determine the apportionment for instructional staff,  first  deter-
13    mine the district average experience and education index by placing all eligi-
14    ble  district certificated instructional employees on the statewide index pro-
15    vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is  the  district
16    index.  Districts  with  an  index above the state average index shall receive
17    their actual index but not more than  the  state  average  plus  .03  for  the
18    1994-95  school  year,  and shall receive their actual index but not more than
19    the state average plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and  thereafter  shall
20    receive  their  actual  district index. The district instructional staff index
21    shall be multiplied by the instructional base salary of $19,715. The amount so
22    determined shall be multiplied by the district staff  allowance  for  instruc-
23    tional  staff  determined  as  provided in section 33-1004 2., Idaho Code. The
24    resulting amount is the district's  salary-based  apportionment  for  instruc-
25    tional staff.
26        2.  To  determine  the  apportionment  for  district administrative staff,
27    first determine the district average experience and education index by placing
28    all eligible certificated administrative employees on the statewide index pro-
29    vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is  the  district
30    index.  Districts  with  an  index above the state average index shall receive
31    their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the school
32    year 1994-95, and shall receive their actual index but not more than the state
33    average index plus .06 for the  1995-96  school  year,  and  thereafter  shall
34    receive  their  actual district index. The district administrative staff index
35    shall be multiplied by the base salary of $28,843. The  amount  so  determined
36    shall  be  multiplied by the district staff allowance for administrative staff
37    determined as provided in section 33-1004 3., Idaho Code. The resulting amount
38    is the district's salary-based apportionment for administrative staff.
39         Any time that two (2) school districts consolidate, a special appli-
40    cation of the administrative staff allowance shall be made as follows: for the
41    first five (5) years following the consolidation, the minimum staff index  for
42    the newly created district shall be the combined total of the two (2) district
43    indexes  for the last year preceding the consolidation. In the sixth year fol-


                                          2

 1    lowing consolidation, the index shall be the actual index as determined above.
 2    
 3        3.  To determine the apportionment for classified staff, multiply  $15,300
 4    by  the  district classified staff allowance determined as provided in section
 5    33-1004 4., Idaho Code. The amount so determined is the district's  apportion-
 6    ment for classified staff.
 7        4.  The  district's  salary-based  apportionment  shall  be the sum of the
 8    apportionments calculated in subsections 1., 2. and 3., of this section,  plus
 9    the benefit apportionment as provided in section 33-1004F, Idaho Code.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


    





                                  RS 07562
                            STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
    
    This legislation amends Section 33-1004E, Idaho code, to provide an incentive for school 
    districts to consolidate. The legislation provides that any time two school districts 
    consolidate, for five years the minimum staff index for the newly created district shall be the 
    combined total of the two districts for the last year preceding the consolidation.
    
                               FISCAL IMPACT
    
    Precise fiscal data would be difficult to determine without knowing the characteristics of 
    districts wishing to consolidate.
