STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS13421
This is the Fiscal Year 2004 appropriation for the Division of Administrators portion of the Public Schools budget. The pieces of the Public Schools budget that are part of this division’s appropriation include: 1.) The administrators’ portion of the salary-based apportionment formula; 2.) State paid employee benefits for administrators, which include PERSI and FICA; and 3.) The administrators’ portion of federal pass-through funding to local school districts.
This budget adds funds for the effects of a PERSI rate increase, an increase of 175 new midterm support units and 200 new full-term support units, and an increase in available federal pass-through funds. This budget also includes an elimination of funding for the Administrators’ portion of the Early Retirement Program, in which Administrators no longer participate.
This bill also includes language, in Section 4, which provides guidance to the state Department of Education that state-paid benefits should be paid for the full salary-based apportionment allotment of school districts, regardless of whether those salary dollars are being spent on administrative, instructional, or classified staff, so long as the total allotment is being fully utilized. This language reflects and completes the 2003 Legislature’s intent in eliminating the “use it or lose it” provision on state funding of administrative staff salaries, by requiring that benefits follow the salary dollars that are redirected to other areas.
