Each district shall be 28 entitled to a salary-based apportionment calculated as provided in this sec- 29 tion. 30 1. To determine the apportionment for instructional staff, first deter- 31 mine the district average experience and education index by placing all eligi- 32 ble district certificated instructional employees on the statewide index pro- 33 vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is the district 34 index. Districts with an index above the state average index shall receive 35 their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the 36 1994-95 school year, and shall receive their actual index but not more than 37 the state average plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and thereafter shall 38 receive their actual district index. The district instructional staff index 39 shall be multiplied by the instructional base salary of $20,91523,210. The 40 amount so determined shall be multiplied by the district staff allowance for 41 instructional staff determined as provided in section 33-1004 2., Idaho Code. 42 If an instructional staff member has been certified by the national board for 43 professional teaching standards, the staff member shall be designated as a 44 master teacher and receive $2,000 per year for five (5) years. The instruc- 45 tional salary shall be increased by $2,000 for each master teacher. The 46 resulting amount is the district's salary-based apportionment for instruc- 47 tional staff. For purposes of this section, teachers qualifying for the salary 48 increase as master teacher shall be those who have been recognized as national 49 board certified teachers as of July 1 of each year. 50 2. To determine the apportionment for district administrative staff, 3 1 first determine the district average experience and education index by placing 2 all eligible certificated administrative employees on the statewide index pro- 3 vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is the district 4 index. Districts with an index above the state average index shall receive 5 their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the school 6 year 1994-95, and shall receive their actual index but not more than the state 7 average index plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and thereafter shall 8 receive their actual district index. The district administrative staff index 9 shall be multiplied by the base salary of $30,59933,760. The amount so deter- 10 mined shall be multiplied by the district staff allowance for administrative 11 staff determined as provided in section 33-1004 3., Idaho Code. The resulting 12 amount is the district's salary-based apportionment for administrative staff. 13 3. To determine the apportionment for classified staff, multiply 14 $16,23218,463 by the district classified staff allowance determined as pro- 15 vided in section 33-1004 4., Idaho Code. The amount so determined is the 16 district's apportionment for classified staff. 17 4. The district's salary-based apportionment shall be the sum of the 18 apportionments calculated in subsections 1., 2. and 3., of this section, plus 19 the benefit apportionment as provided in section 33-1004F, Idaho Code. 20 SECTION 6. The State Department of Education shall have the authority to 21 monitor and evaluate the use of funds appropriated to public school districts 22 for enhancement programs. 23 SECTION 7.
