The district instructional staff index 45 shall be multiplied by the instructional base salary of $20,30646915 . The amount so determined shall be multiplied by the 47 district staff allowance for instructional staff determined as provided in 48 section 33-1004 2., Idaho Code. The resulting amount is the district's49salarybasedsalary-based apportionment for instructional 3 1 staff. 2 2.

The district administrative staff index 11 shall be multiplied by the base salary of $29,70830,599 12 . The amount so determined shall be multiplied by the district staff 13 allowance for administrative staff determined as provided in section 33-1004 14 3., Idaho Code. The resulting amount is the district's salary-based apportion- 15 ment for administrative staff. 16 3. To determine the apportionment for classified staff, multiply $1715,75916,232 by the district classified staff allowance 18 determined as provided in section 33-1004 4., Idaho Code. The amount so deter- 19 mined is the district's apportionment for classified staff. 20 4.

Of the $7,000,000 des- 40 ignated for one-time expenditures, $3,000,000 shall not be expended until the 41 independent third party review required in Section 9 of this act has been com- 42 pleted and determined to be acceptable by the Governor. 43 SECTION 9.

It is legislative intent that $500,000 of the moneys appro- 28 priated in Section 3 of this act be distributed to train general education 29 teachers, gifted/talented (G/T) facilitators, administrators and/or parents to 30 better meet the needs of gifted/talented students. One-half (1/2) of these 31 funds shall be allocated pro rata based on each district's prior year total 32 student enrollment compared to the prior year total statewide enrollment. One- 33 half (1/2) of these funds shall be allocated based on the number of 34 gifted/talented students identified and served as indicated on the prior 35 year's December first child count. The number of gifted/talented students 36 identified for purposes of this section will not exceed seven percent (7%) of 37 the district's total student enrollment. No district will receive less than 38 $300.

There is hereby appropriated from the Public School Income 43 Fund the amount necessary for property tax replacement, to be expended accord- 44 ing to Section 33-1002D, Idaho Code, for the period July 1, 1999, through June 45 30, 2000. 46 SECTION 19. It is legislative intent that up to $200,000 of the moneys 47 appropriated in Section 3 of this act be used to update the 1993 Public 48 Schools Facilities Study. 49 SECTION 20. It is legislative intent that up to $51,000 of the moneys 50 appropriated in Section 3 of this act be awarded to those instructional staff 6 1 members who have successfully completed certification by the National Board 2 for Professional Teaching Standards as of July 1 of each year. The staff mem- 3 ber having obtained national certification shall be designated as a master 4 teacher and receive a one-time award for this accomplishment if employed by an 5 Idaho school district for that same academic year. 6 SECTION 21. Whereas the Legislature recognizes that due to the reduction 7 of Public Employee Retirement System rates and the reduction of the estimated 8 support units used to establish budgets for Idaho's school districts, an addi- 9 tional and substantial amount of state discretionary funding per support unit 10 will become available. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature that this 11 additional state financial support, together with those amounts estimated in 12 the regular fiscal year 2000 budget, be utilized by the school districts as a 13 one-time supplement to discretionary funding needs. 14 SECTION 22. It is legislative intent that $3,916,000 of the moneys appro- 15 priated in Section 3 of this act be used to implement Idaho's 1999 16 "Comprehensive Literacy Act: Every Child's Birthright" in the form and fashion 17 prescribed according to the associated legislation.
