The number of program units for teachers certified by the national board for professional teaching standards is determined by multiplying by one and one-half the number of teachers certified by the national board for professional teaching standards employed by the school district or charter school on or before the first reporting date of the school year and verified by the department. Department approval of these units shall be contingent on verification by the school district or charter school that these teachers are receiving a one-time salary differential equal to or greater than the amount generated by the units multiplied by the program unit value during the fiscal year in which the school district or charter school will receive these units.
History: Laws 2003, ch. 144, § 2; 2003, ch. 152, § 9; 2006, ch. 94, § 14; 2010, ch. 116, § 5.
The 2010 amendment, effective May 19, 2010, in the first sentence, after "charter school on or before the", deleted "fortieth day" and added "first reporting date".
Temporary provisions. — Laws 2010, ch. 116, § 9 provided that references in the Public School Code pertaining to the fortieth-day or forty-day report of public school membership or enrollment shall be deemed to be references to the first reporting date, which is the second Wednesday in October; references pertaining to the eightieth-day or eighty-day report of public school membership or enrollment shall be deemed to be references to the second reporting date, which is the second Wednesday in December; and references pertaining to the one-hundred twentieth-day or one-hundred twenty-day report of public school membership or enrollment shall be deemed to be references to the third reporting date, which is the second Wednesday in February.
As the public schools transition from former reporting dates to new reporting dates, the public education department may use any combination of former and new reporting dates as necessary to develop membership and cost projections and budgets for the 2010-2011 school year.
The 2006 amendment, effective July 1, 2007, added charter schools.
