 2    RELATING TO THE EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT PROGRAM; AMENDING SECTION 33-1004E,  IDAHO
 3        CODE, TO PROVIDE A SALARY BENEFIT FOR AN INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF MEMBER DESIG-
 4        NATED AS A MASTER TEACHER AND TO CORRECT A CODIFIER'S ERROR.

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

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

 8        33-1004E.  DISTRICT'S SALARY-BASED APPORTIONMENT. Each district  shall  be
 9    entitled  to  a salary-based apportionment calculated as provided in this sec-
10    tion.
11        1.  To determine the apportionment for instructional staff,  first  deter-
12    mine the district average experience and education index by placing all eligi-
13    ble  district certificated instructional employees on the statewide index pro-
14    vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is  the  district
15    index.  Districts  with  an  index above the state average index shall receive
16    their actual index but not more than  the  state  average  plus  .03  for  the
17    1994-95  school  year,  and shall receive their actual index but not more than
18    the state average plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and  thereafter  shall
19    receive  their  actual  district index. The district instructional staff index
20    shall be multiplied by the instructional base salary of $20,306. The amount so
21    determined shall be multiplied by the district staff  allowance  for  instruc-
22    tional  staff  determined as provided in section 33-1004 2., Idaho Code. 
23    If an instructional staff member has been certified by the national board  for
24    professional  teaching  standards,  the  staff member shall be designated as a
25    master teacher and receive $2,000 per year for five (5)  years.  The  instruc-
26    tional salary shall be increased by $2,000 for each master teacher.  The
27    resulting amount is the district's  salarybased   salary-based
28      apportionment for instructional staff.  For purposes of this sec-
29    tion, teachers qualifying for the salary increase as master teacher  shall  be
30    those who have been recognized as national board certified teachers as of July
31    1 of each year. 
32        2.  To  determine  the  apportionment  for  district administrative staff,
33    first determine the district average experience and education index by placing
34    all eligible certificated administrative employees on the statewide index pro-
35    vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is  the  district
36    index.  Districts  with  an  index above the state average index shall receive
37    their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the school
38    year 1994-95, and shall receive their actual index but not more than the state
39    average index plus .06 for the  1995-96  school  year,  and  thereafter  shall
40    receive  their  actual district index. The district administrative staff index
41    shall be multiplied by the base salary of $29,708. The  amount  so  determined
42    shall  be  multiplied by the district staff allowance for administrative staff
43    determined as provided in section 33-1004 3., Idaho Code. The resulting amount


                                          2

 1    is the district's salary-based apportionment for administrative staff.
 2        3.  To determine the apportionment for classified staff, multiply  $15,759
 3    by  the  district classified staff allowance determined as provided in section
 4    33-1004 4., Idaho Code. The amount so determined is the district's  apportion-
 5    ment for classified staff.
 6        4.  The  district's  salary-based  apportionment  shall  be the sum of the
 7    apportionments calculated in subsections 1., 2. and 3., of this section,  plus
 8    the benefit apportionment as provided in section 33-1004F, Idaho Code.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                          STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                                 RS08768

Amending Section 33-1004E, Idaho Code, to provide a salary benefit for an instructional staff
member designated as a master teacher. Teachers who enter the National Board Certification Program
expect. to spend approximately 150 to 200 hours working on this very intense program. Nationally,
only about 37% of those who begin the program will achieve National Certification. They will
become a better teacher as a result of working through this very structured  process. Upon completion,
they are very deserving of being titled a Master Teacher and they should be rewarded for their
accomplishment. Registration to enter this program is $2,000. California is offering a $10,000 signing
bonus and a waiver of certification requirements if Nationally Certified Teachers will transfer to
California.                                                       
                              FISCAL NOTE

There will be no fiscal impact to the State of Idaho Budget.

Teachers who complete this process are notified in November if they have achieved National Board
Certification. Therefore, there will be a delay of about ten months in their receipt of financial reward
from their school district. The fiscal impact to the salary-based apportionment budget is as follows:

November 1998, 17 teachers statewide are Nationally Certified, 1999-2000 impact = $51,000.

November 1999, 80 teachers estimated to be Nationally Certified, 2000-2001 impact = $240,000.
:
November 2000, 190 teachers estimated to be Nationally Certified, 2001-2002 impact = $420,000.

November 2001, 200 teachers estimated to be Nationally Certified, 2002-2003 impact = $600,000.

The Albertsons grant supporting teachers registration ends at this point.
