§ 1565. Salary assistance

(a) The state board shall reimburse a school district operating a technical center for a portion of its cost in paying the salary of the following persons:

(1) the director of technical education;

(2) a person whose principal duty is to provide guidance services for technical students;

(3) a person whose principal duty is to find job training opportunities for students during the time they are enrolled at the technical center; and

(4) an adult services coordinator;

(5) an assistant director of technical education, if the technical center has an enrollment of at least 300 and the sending school population is at least 30 percent of the total enrollment.

(b) Assistance under this section shall be determined by a formula and standards established by rule of the state board. The formula and those standards:

(1) shall provide different levels of support for different positions as follows:

(A) Directors and guidance coordinators' salary assistance shall be 50 percent of the state average salary and benefits for each position, or 50 percent of the actual salary and benefits for each individual, whichever is less;

(B) Assistant directors, if the district is eligible, and co-op teachers' salary assistance shall be 35 percent of the state average salary and benefits for each position, or 35 percent of the actual salary and benefits for each individual, whichever is less;

(C) Adult service coordinators' salary assistance shall not exceed 50 percent of actual salaries and benefits. Payment under this subsection does not preclude a district from using other state and federal grants to supplement the actual salaries and benefits of adult service coordinators.

(2) shall require as a condition of assistance that the director:

(A) is responsible for the overall administration of all technical programs; and

(B) reports administratively to the superintendent of schools for the supervisory union of the school district which operates the center, or to a headmaster if the technical center is not managed by a school board.
