20 SECTION 7. That Section 33-1004E, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
21 amended to read as follows:
22 33-1004E. DISTRICT'S SALARY-BASED APPORTIONMENT. Each district shall be
23 entitled to a salary-based apportionment calculated as provided in this sec-
24 tion.
25 1. To determine the apportionment for instructional staff, first deter-
26 mine the district average experience and education index by placing all eligi-
27 ble district certificated instructional employees on the statewide index pro-
28 vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is the district
29 index. Districts with an index above the state average index shall receive
30 their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the
31 1994-95 school year, and shall receive their actual index but not more than
32 the state average plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and thereafter shall
33 receive their actual district index. The district instructional staff index
34 shall be multiplied by the instructional base salary of $23,21023,906. The
35 amount so determined shall be multiplied by the district staff allowance for
36 instructional staff determined as provided in section 33-1004 2., Idaho Code.
37 The instructional salary allocation shall be increased by the amount necessary
38 for each full-time equivalent instructional staff member placed on the experi-
39 ence and education index to be allocated at least the minimum salary mandated
40 by this section. Full-time instructional staff salaries shall be determined
41 from a salary schedule developed by each district and submitted to the state
42 department of education. No full-time instructional staff member shall be paid
43 less than $27,50030,000. If an instructional staff member has been certified
44 by the national board for professional teaching standards, the staff member
45 shall be designated as a master teacher and receive $2,000 per year for five
46 (5) years. The instructional salary shall be increased by $2,000 for each mas-
47 ter teacher. The resulting amount is the district's salary-based apportionment
48 for instructional staff. For purposes of this section, teachers qualifying for
49 the salary increase as master teacher shall be those who have been recognized
50 as national board certified teachers as of July 1 of each year.
51 2. To determine the apportionment for district administrative staff,
52 first determine the district average experience and education index by placing
3
1 all eligible certificated administrative employees on the statewide index pro-
2 vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is the district
3 index. Districts with an index above the state average index shall receive
4 their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the school
5 year 1994-95, and shall receive their actual index but not more than the state
6 average index plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and thereafter shall
7 receive their actual district index. The district administrative staff index
8 shall be multiplied by the base salary of $33,760. The amount so determined
9 shall be multiplied by the district staff allowance for administrative staff
10 determined as provided in section 33-1004 3., Idaho Code. The resulting amount
11 is the district's salary-based apportionment for administrative staff.
12 3. To determine the apportionment for classified staff, multiply $18,648
13 by the district classified staff allowance determined as provided in section
14 33-1004 4., Idaho Code. The amount so determined is the district's apportion-
15 ment for classified staff.
16 4. The district's salary-based apportionment shall be the sum of the
17 apportionments calculated in subsections 1., 2. and 3., of this section, plus
18 the benefit apportionment as provided in section 33-1004F, Idaho Code.
