2
1 FROM:

3 Federal Grant Fund 7,232,800
4 TOTAL $567,802,800
5 SECTION 4. Of the moneys appropriated in Section 3 of this act,
6 $9,800,000 shall be expended by the Superintendent of Public Instruction as
7 follows:
8 (1) The Idaho Council for Technology in Learning shall distribute
9 $4,050,000 for ongoing school district technology expenditures, through
10 the Public School Technology Grant Program, pursuant to Section 33-4806,
11 Idaho Code. Such expenditures may include the personnel costs associated
12 with school district information technology staff support. Of this amount,
13 up to $160,000 may be expended by the Superintendent of Public Instruction
14 for staff support and various expenses related to the Idaho Council for
15 Technology in Learning, as approved by the State Board of Education;
16 (2) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall transfer $650,000 to
17 the Library Services Improvement Fund for ongoing costs associated with
18 the State Library's "Libraries Linking Idaho" (LiLI) projects;
19 (3) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall distribute $5,100,000
20 to school districts in a like manner as equalized, ongoing state discre-
21 tionary funds, with seventy-five percent (75%) of such funds being dis-
22 tributed by August 31, and twenty-five percent (25%) of such funds in the
23 final payment of the fiscal year. Such funds shall be expended for the
24 purchase of technology equipment and software.
25 SECTION 5. Of the moneys appropriated in Section 3 of this act, the
26 Superintendent of Public Instruction shall distribute $3,017,000 to school
27 districts, allocated according to the same proportions as the moneys distrib-
28 uted in fiscal year 2006, pursuant to Section 63-3638(10), Idaho Code, for the
29 replacement of school maintenance and operations levy funds.
30 SECTION 6. Of the moneys appropriated in Section 3 of this act,
31 $9,950,000 shall be distributed for the purchase of instructional software and
32 textbooks, whether physical or electronic. In order to be eligible to receive
33 such funds, the school district or public charter school shall expand at least
34 one dollar ($1.00) in discretionary funds on such purchases for every three
35 dollars ($3.00) in funds provided by this section. The Superintendent of Pub-
36 lic Instruction shall determine the formulas and methodologies by which such
37 funds are distributed, within the framework of an average daily attendance
38 (ADA) based distribution.
39 SECTION 7. Of the moneys appropriated in Section 3 of this act, up to
40 $100,000 may be expended by the Superintendent of Public Instruction to con-
41 duct a study and develop plans that address the challenges of rural schools
42 including, but not limited to, the issues of declining enrollment,
43 inefficiencies in administration and service delivery, and recruitment of
44 qualified teachers.
45 SECTION 8. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 33-1018, Idaho Code, it
46 is estimated that the appropriation of state funds to the Educational Support
47 Program/Division of Operations will result in total discretionary funds of
48 $25,442 per support unit. The Legislature recognizes that this figure does not
49 reflect additional discretionary funds that will be made available through
50 interest earnings at the local level as a result of this appropriation and the
3
1 state's replacement of maintenance and operations levy funds. On a statewide
2 basis, the maintenance and operations levy replacement will result in approxi-
3 mately $4.2 million in additional interest earnings, while the amendment of
4 Section 33-1009, Idaho Code, will result in approximately $6.75 million in
5 additional interest earnings, for a total of $10.95 million. This represents
6 an additional 3.1% increase in the amount of discretionary funds per support
7 unit that will actually be available at the local level.
8 In addition, this appropriation provides $20.13 million in new line item
9 funding for classroom supplies, textbooks and remedial education. For school
10 districts and public charter schools that currently expend discretionary funds
11 for these items, which were not previously funded by the state, those moneys
12 may now be freed up for other uses. In cases where the new state funds fully
13 supplant existing local discretionary efforts, this will result in an addi-
14 tional 5.8% increase in the amount of discretionary funds per support unit
15 that will actually be available at the local level, for a total increase of
16 8.9%, when added to the additional interest earnings.
17 It is the intent of the Legislature that the Superintendent of Public
18 Instruction and the Legislature understand the uses of and demands for discre-
19 tionary funds. Inasmuch as significant discretionary funds were previously
20 used for classroom supplies, textbooks and remediation, school districts and
21 public charter schools are hereby requested to report to the Superintendent of
22 Public Instruction the actual uses of discretionary funds for fiscal year
23 2007, and the budgeted uses for fiscal year 2008.
24 SECTION 9. That Section 33-1004E, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
25 amended to read as follows:
26 33-1004E. DISTRICT'S SALARY-BASED APPORTIONMENT. Each district shall be
27 entitled to a salary-based apportionment calculated as provided in this sec-
28 tion.
29 1. To determine the apportionment for instructional staff, first deter-
30 mine the district average experience and education index by placing all eligi-
31 ble district certificated instructional employees on the statewide index pro-
32 vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is the district
33 index. Districts with an index above the state average index shall receive
34 their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the
35 1994-95 school year, and shall receive their actual index but not more than
36 the state average plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and thereafter shall
37 receive their actual district index. The district instructional staff index
38 shall be multiplied by the instructional base salary of $23,906. The amount so
39 determined shall be multiplied by the district staff allowance for instruc-
40 tional staff determined as provided in section 33-1004 2., Idaho Code. The
41 instructional salary allocation shall be increased by the amount necessary for
42 each full-time equivalent instructional staff member placed on the experience
43 and education index to be allocated at least the minimum salary mandated by
44 this section. Full-time instructional staff salaries shall be determined from
45 a salary schedule developed by each district and submitted to the state
46 department of education. No full-time instructional staff member shall be paid
47 less than $30,000. If an instructional staff member has been certified by the
48 national board for professional teaching standards, the staff member shall be
49 designated as a master teacher and receive $2,000 per year for five (5) years.
50 The instructional salary shall be increased by $2,000 for each master teacher.
51 The resulting amount is the district's salary-based apportionment for instruc-
52 tional staff. For purposes of this section, teachers qualifying for the salary
53 increase as master teacher shall be those who have been recognized as national
4
1 board certified teachers as of July 1 of each year.
2 2. To determine the apportionment for district administrative staff,
3 first determine the district average experience and education index by placing
4 all eligible certificated administrative employees on the statewide index pro-
5 vided in section 33-1004A, Idaho Code. The resulting average is the district
6 index. Districts with an index above the state average index shall receive
7 their actual index but not more than the state average plus .03 for the school
8 year 1994-95, and shall receive their actual index but not more than the state
9 average index plus .06 for the 1995-96 school year, and thereafter shall
10 receive their actual district index. The district administrative staff index
11 shall be multiplied by the base salary of $34,773. The amount so determined
12 shall be multiplied by the district staff allowance for administrative staff
13 determined as provided in section 33-1004 3., Idaho Code. The resulting amount
14 is the district's salary-based apportionment for administrative staff.
15 3. To determine the apportionment for classified staff, multiply
16 $19,20719,783 by the district classified staff allowance determined as pro-
17 vided in section 33-1004 4., Idaho Code. The amount so determined is the
18 district's apportionment for classified staff.
19 4. The district's salary-based apportionment shall be the sum of the
20 apportionments calculated in subsections 1., 2. and 3., of this section, plus
21 the benefit apportionment as provided in section 33-1004F, Idaho Code.
22 SECTION 10. That Section 33-1006, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
23 amended to read as follows:
24 33-1006. TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT PROGRAM. (1) The state board of education
25 shall determine what costs of transporting pupils, including maintenance,
26 operation and depreciation of basic vehicles, insurance, payments under con-
27 tract with other public transportation providers whose vehicles used to trans-
28 port pupils comply with federal transit administration regulations, "bus test-
29 ing," 49 C.F.R. part 665, and any revision thereto, as provided in subsection
30 (4)(d) of this section, or other state department of education approved pri-
31 vate transportation providers, salaries of drivers, and any other costs, shall
32 be allowable in computing the transportation support program of school dis-
33 tricts.
34 (2) Any costs associated with the addition of vehicle features that are
35 not part of the basic vehicle shall not be allowable in computing the trans-
36 portation support program of school districts. A basic vehicle is hereby
37 defined as the cost of the vehicle without optional features, plus the addi-
38 tion of essential safety features and features necessary for the transporta-
39 tion of pupils with disabilities.
40 (3) Each school district shall maintain records and make reports as are
41 required for the purposes of this section.
42 (4) The transportation support program of a school district shall be
43 based upon the allowable costs of:
44 (a) Transporting public school pupils one and one-half (1 1/2) miles or
45 more to school;
46 (b) Transporting pupils less than one and one-half (1 1/2) miles as pro-
47 vided in section 33-1501, Idaho Code, when approved by the state board of
48 education;
49 (c) The costs of payments when transportation is not furnished, as pro-
50 vided in section 33-1503, Idaho Code;
51 (d) The transportation program for grades six (6) through twelve (12),
52 upon the costs of payments pursuant to a contract with other public or
53 private transportation providers entered into as provided in section
5
1 33-1510, Idaho Code, if the school district establishes that the reim-
2 bursable costs of transportation under the contract are equal to or less
3 than the costs for school buses;
4 (e) The costs of providing transportation to and from approved school
5 activities as may be approved by rules of the state board of education;
6 (f) The employer's share of contributions to the public employee retire-
7 ment system and to social security.
8 (5) The state's share of the transportation support program shall be
9 eighty-five percent (85%) of reimbursable transportation costs of the district
10 incurred during the immediately preceding state fiscal year, provided the
11 reimbursable costs do not exceed one hundred three percent (103%) of the
12 statewide average reimbursable cost per mile or the state average reimbursable
13 cost per student rider, whichever is more advantageous to the school district.
14 If a school district's costs exceed the one hundred three percent (103%) limit
15 when computed by the more advantageous of the two (2) methods, that school
16 district shall be reimbursed at eighty-five percent (85%) of the maximum limit
17 for whichever method is more favorable to the school district. A school dis-
18 trict may appeal the application of the one hundred three percent (103%) limit
19 on reimbursable costs to the state board of education, which may establish for
20 that district a new percentile limit for reimbursable costs compared to the
21 statewide average, which is higher than one hundred three percent (103%). In
22 doing so, the state board of education may set a new limit that is greater
23 than one hundred three percent (103%), but is less than the percentile limit
24 requested by the school district. However, the percentage increase in the one
25 hundred three percent (103%) cap shall not exceed the percentage of the
26 district's bus runs that qualify as a hardship bus run, pursuant to this sub-
27 section. Any costs above the new level established by the state board of edu-
28 cation shall not be reimbursed. Such a change shall only be granted by the
29 state board of education if the application can be justified based on uniquely
30 difficult geographic circumstances, or extraordinary one (1) time circum-
31 stances outside the district's foresight and control. An application granted
32 based on extraordinary one (1) time circumstances shall be effective for one
33 (1) year only. An application based on uniquely difficult geographic circum-
34 stances shall be reviewed by the state board of education for continued valid-
35 ity at least every five (5) years for hardship bus runs. To qualify as a hard-
36 ship bus run, such bus run shall display uniquely difficult geographic circum-
37 stances and meet at least two (2) of the following criteria:
38 (a) The number of student riders per mile is less than fifty percent
39 (50%) of the statewide average number of student riders per mile;
40 (b) Less than a majority of the miles on the bus run are by paved sur-
41 face, concrete or asphalt, road;
42 (c) Over ten percent (10%) of the miles driven on the bus run are a five
43 percent (5%) slope or greater.
44 The legislative audits section of the legislative services office shall review
45 cap increases granted by the state board of education pursuant to this sec-
46 tion, and shall include findings in the board's regular audit report for any
47 instances in which such increases failed to meet the standards set forth in
48 this subsection.
49 (6) School districts that are unable to absorb the impact of the limita-
50 tion on reimbursable expenses, through either efficiencies or the utilization
51 of fund balances, may apply to the state board of education to receive a loan
52 of moneys, not to exceed the amount of state funds lost through the applica-
53 tion of the limitation on reimbursable expenses, from the public education
54 stabilization fund. Any school district receiving such a loan shall cause its
55 reimbursement of state transportation moneys to be reduced by a like amount in
6
1 the subsequent fiscal year, and the moneys so reduced shall be deposited in
2 the public education stabilization fund.
3 (7) Beginning on July 1, 2005, any eligible home-based public virtual
4 school may claim transportation reimbursement for the prior fiscal year's cost
5 of providing educational services to students. In order to be eligible, such a
6 school shall have at least one (1) average daily attendance divisor, pursuant
7 to section 33-1002, Idaho Code, that is greater than the median divisor shown
8 for any category of pupils, among the actual divisors listed. For the purposes
9 of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this subsection (7), "education provider"
10 means the home-based public virtual school or an entity that has legally con-
11 tracted with the home-based public virtual school to supply education ser-
12 vices. Reimbursable costs shall be limited to the costs of:
13 (a) Providing an internet connection service between the student and the
14 education provider, not including the cost of telephone service;
15 (b) Providing electronic and computer equipment used by the student to
16 transmit educational material between the student and the education pro-
17 vider;
18 (c) Providing a toll-free telephone service for students to communicate
19 with the education provider;
20 (d) Providing education-related, face-to-face visits by representatives
21 of the home-based public virtual school, with such reimbursements limited
22 to the mileage costs set for state employee travel by the state board of
23 examiners; and
24 (e) Any actual pupil transportation costs that would be reimbursable if
25 claimed by a school district.
26 The total reimbursement for such home-based public virtual schools shall be
27 exempt from the statewide average cost per mile limitations of this section.
28 The state's share of reimbursable costs shall be eighty-five percent (85%),
29 subject to the statewide cost per student rider provisions of this section.
30 For the purposes of such home-based public virtual school, the number of stu-
31 dent riders shall be the same as the number of pupils in average daily atten-
32 dance.
| STATEMENT OF PURPOSE |
| RS16428 |
|
This is the Fiscal Year 2008 appropriation for the Division of Operations portion of the Public Schools budget. The pieces of the Public Schools budget that are part of this division's appropriation include: 1.) The classified staff portion of the salary-based apportionment formula; 2.) State paid employee benefits for classified staff, which includes PERSI and FICA; 3.) Pupil transportation costs; 4.) Technology funds; 5.) Textbook funds; 6.) Ag Replacement phase-out funds; 7.) Rural school study funds; 8.) State discretionary funds; and 9.) The Operations' portion of federal pass-through funding to local school districts.
This budget adds funds for an increase of 250 new midterm and full-term support units, and an increase in available federal pass-through funds. It also directs all $9.8 million earmarked in Section 4 be used for Technology. In FY 2007, public schools could also choose to use this money for ISAT remediation. ISAT remediation is now funded separately as an earmark in the Division of Children's Programs portion of the Public Schools budget. The budget also includes a 3% base salary increase for classified staff, which is made possible by the amendments to Section 33-1004E, Idaho Code, found in Section 9 of the bill. New items in this budget include the $9,950,000 provided in Section 6 for the purchase of textbook materials. Local districts and charters would be required to put forward $1 for every $3 of state funds so received. Section 5 of the bill provides for the second year of funding for the 5-year phase down of unequalized moneys previously received by school districts as a state replacement of M&O personal property taxes on agricultural equipment. Section 7 provides one-time funding for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to conduct a study of the challenges facing rural schools. While the amount of direct-funded state discretionary funds per support unit in this budget is essentially flat, at $25,442 per classroom, Section 8 of the bill recognizes that the actions taken by the Legislature in other areas, ranging from creating greater local interest earnings by providing funds sooner, to the displacement of local discretionary funds through the direct state funding of various line items, will result in an effective increase in local discretionary funds available per support unit of at least 3.1%, and up to 8.9%. The level of direct state funding per classroom is backed by a guarantee of support from the Public Education Stabilization Fund, which would be automatically tapped, if necessary, to maintain FY 2008 discretionary funds at the level stated in Section 8 of the bill. Section 10 amends Section 33-1006, Idaho Code, to provide more specific rules and oversight for the State Board of Education's process of granting waivers from the state's cap on pupil transportation costs. |
