SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Funding for instructional positions. Amends the Standards of Quality (SOQ) to provide that the state's share of funding for instructional positions in public schools shall be based on the statewide prevailing ratio of actual instructional personnel employed by school boards as reported to the Department of Education in the year upon which the biennial SOQ expenditures were based as provided in the appropriation act. Class size and divisionwide pupil-teacher ratios remain unchanged for purposes of school operations and organization. Currently, state funding for instructional positions is calculated based on the divisionwide ratios and class size limits set forth in the SOQ. A second enactment clause makes this measure effective July 1, 2002.
