29 cialist instructional staff after initial certification shall be credited

48 third and final phase of the implementation of achievement standards estab-
49 lished under the provisions of the rules of the State Board of Education,
50 IDAPA 08.02.03. These funds shall be distributed according to formulas and
3
1 criteria established by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. It is legis-
2 lative intent that the State Department of Education and State Board of Educa-
3 tion seek any waivers that may be necessary to utilize the $2,484,000 in fed-
4 eral grant funds.

8 disabilities;

12 room teachers to be involved in college planning, parent contact, Individ-
13 ual Education Plan (IEP) development, curriculum and modification, or
14 other necessary activities directly related to meeting the needs of stu-
15 dents in regular education classrooms;
16 (4) Moneys in this section shall be distributed pro rata to the districts
17 as follows: fifty percent (50%) on the basis of the prior year's December
18 first child count and fifty percent (50%) on the basis of the prior year's
19 average daily attendance.
20 These funds shall be used to supplement rather than supplant existing
21 efforts in the training of regular classroom teachers and the employment and
22 training of aides. The State Department of Education shall create a one (1)
23 page report to be provided to the Legislature showing current individual dis-
24 trict expenditures in this area, as well as a breakdown of how these appropri-
25 ated moneys were spent. These funds shall not be used in any calculation or
26 report to the federal government that obligates a future appropriation of this
27 amount or any other amount.
28 SECTION 9. Of the moneys appropriated in Section 3 of this act, $500,000
29 shall be distributed to train general education teachers, gifted/talented
30 (G/T) facilitators, administrators and/or parents to better meet the needs of
31 gifted/talented students. One-half (1/2) of these funds shall be allocated pro
32 rata based on each district's prior year total student enrollment compared to
33 the prior year total statewide enrollment. One-half (1/2) of these funds shall
34 be allocated based on the number of gifted/talented students identified and
35 served as indicated on the prior year's December first child count. The number
36 of gifted/talented students identified for purposes of this section shall not
37 exceed seven percent (7%) of the district's total student enrollment. No dis-
38 trict shall receive less than $500. Funds shall be distributed upon submission
39 and approval of an application submitted to the State Department of Education
40 demonstrating how in-service training will establish or improve identification
41 and service of gifted/talented students in the five (5) mandated talent areas.
42 The Superintendent of Public Instruction may reallocate any gifted/talented
43 funds that are left unrequested by school districts to all other school dis-
44 tricts that have requested gifted/talented funds, according to the distribu-
45 tion formula outlined in this section.
46 SECTION 10. An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
47 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after
48 July 1, 2003.
