32 SECTION 2. In accordance with Section 67-3519, Idaho Code, the Office of
33 the State Board of Education is authorized no more than twenty-seven (27)
34 full-time equivalent positions at any point during the period July 1, 2007,
35 through June 30, 2008, for the program specified in Section 1 of this act,
36 unless specifically authorized by the Governor. The Joint Finance-
37 Appropriations Committee will be notified promptly of any increased positions
38 so authorized.
39 SECTION 3. The Legislature reaffirms that the Division of Professional-
40 Technical Education and the Office of the State Board of Education each play
41 unique and vital roles in the state's educational system. The Legislature
42 authorizes these agencies to share administrative resources only to the extent
2
1 necessary to achieve readily obtainable administrative efficiencies. The
2 shared resources authorized in this section shall be narrowly defined as
3 reception services. Each division administrator shall retain management
4 decision-making autonomy over their respective divisions. The employees of the
5 Division of Professional-Technical Education shall not be considered or used
6 as adjunct staff by the Office of the State Board of Education. Under no cir-
7 cumstances shall this arrangement impair the individual ability of these agen-
8 cies to fulfill their individual missions. This authorization is automatically
9 withdrawn to the extent it is found to be inconsistent with laws or regula-
10 tions pertaining to the use of federal or dedicated funds. The Legislature
11 shall review this authorization each year and reserve its prerogative to with-
12 draw it at any time.
13 SECTION 4. Agencies and institutions shall distribute the funding for
14 employee compensation based on merit as follows:
15 (a) Agencies and institutions are directed to, based on merit, target
16 funding first toward high turnover classifications and individuals below
17 midpoint within their agency.
18 (b) Agencies and institutions are directed to, based on merit, target
19 funding second toward positions within their agency that are below ninety
20 percent (90%) of the Compa-Ratio.
21 (c) Agencies and institutions are directed to target any remaining fund-
22 ing based on merit using the merit matrix required by Idaho Code.
23 Agencies and institutions shall create compensation and distribution plans to
24 ensure that they are consistent with the policies contained herein. Agency
25 directors and institutional presidents shall approve all compensation and dis-
26 tribution plans and ensure that implementation of the plans is consistent with
27 policies contained herein. Each agency and institution shall forward, for
28 informational purposes, approved copies of the compensation and distribution
29 plans to the Legislative Services Office and the Division of Financial Manage-
30 ment by June 1, 2007. The effective date of implementation of ongoing salary
31 adjustments shall be June 17, 2007.
32 SECTION 5. The Office of the State Board of Education is hereby directed
33 to allocate salary savings, based on performance, to provide for employee sal-
34 ary needs before other operational budget priorities are considered. Where
35 applicable, employees whose salaries are below the midpoint of their pay grade
36 or occupational groups with significant turnover rates shall be considered
37 first in the order of salary savings distributions.
38 SECTION 6. The Legislature seeks to encourage local communities to estab-
39 lish new community college districts under existing law. As such, it is legis-
40 lative intent that a newly formed community college district shall be eligible
41 for up to $5,000,000 in ongoing General Fund moneys. The State Board of Educa-
42 tion shall evaluate the business and operating plans of any newly created com-
43 munity college in determining the amount of General Fund moneys the college is
44 eligible to receive. Any portion of the $5,000,000 which is not allocated to a
45 new college shall be reverted to the General Fund. In the event that more than
46 one (1) district is formed, and the Board determines that additional funding
47 is necessary, the Board may request additional funding as a part of the annual
48 budget process.
