  6    shall be multiplied by the result of 1.59092 divided by the  actual  statewide
  7    average multiplier for instructional staff.
  8        In  determining the statewide average multiplier for administrative staff,
  9    no multiplier in excess of 1.86643 shall be  used.  If  the  actual  statewide
 10    average  multiplier  for  administrative staff, as determined by this section,
 11    exceeds 1.86643, then each school district's administrative  staff  multiplier
 12    shall  be  multiplied by the result of 1.86643 divided by the actual statewide
 13    average multiplier for administrative staff.

 33    private or parochial school, or beginning  in  the  2005-06  school  year  and
 34    thereafter in an accredited college or university shall be credited.
 35        In  determining  the  education  factor, only credits earned after initial
 36    certification, based upon a transcript on file with the teacher  certification
 37    office  of  the  state  department  of  education, earned at an institution of
 38    higher education accredited by the state board  of  education  or  a  regional
 39    accrediting  association,  shall be allowed. Instructional staff whose initial
 40    certificate is an occupational specialist certificate shall be treated  as  BA
 41    degree  prepared instructional staff. Credits earned by such occupational spe-

  5    average  multiplier  for  instructional  staff, as determined by this section,
  6    exceeds 1.59092, then each school district's  instructional  staff  multiplier
  7    shall  be  multiplied by the result of 1.59092 divided by the actual statewide
  8    average multiplier for instructional staff.
  9        In determining the statewide average multiplier for administrative  staff,
 10    no  multiplier  in  excess  of  1.86643 shall be used. If the actual statewide

 13    shall be multiplied by the result of 1.86643 divided by the  actual  statewide
 14    average multiplier for administrative staff.
