79-1007.25. Teacher education allowance; calculation.

For school fiscal years 2013-14 through 2015-16, the department shall calculate a teacher education allowance for each district as follows:

(1) Teacher education points shall be calculated for each district by the department based upon data from the fall personnel report required pursuant to section 79-804 for the school fiscal year immediately preceding the school fiscal year in which aid is to be paid. Each full-time equivalent teacher shall (a) be under contract with a school district as required pursuant to section 79-818 and (b) only be counted one time in awarding any points pursuant to this section. Each district shall receive one point for each full-time equivalent teacher who has earned and been awarded a master's degree or an education specialist's degree and two points for each full-time equivalent teacher who has earned and been awarded a doctoral degree;

(2) For school fiscal years 2013-14 and 2014-15, the teacher education allowance for each district shall equal the product of thirty million dollars multiplied by the ratio of teacher education points calculated for the district divided by the aggregate teacher education points calculated for all districts. Fifty percent of the teacher education allowance calculated pursuant to this subdivision for each school district shall be paid to such school district as teacher education aid for the school fiscal year for which aid is being calculated; and

(3) For school fiscal year 2015-16, the teacher education allowance for each district shall equal the product of fifteen million dollars multiplied by the ratio of teacher education points calculated for the district divided by the aggregate teacher education points calculated for all districts. Fifty percent of the teacher education allowance calculated pursuant to this subdivision for each school district shall be paid to such school district as teacher education aid for the school fiscal year for which aid is being calculated.
