S.F. No. 1761 - Schools Alternative Compensation Preparation Revenue Establishment and Appropriation
 
Author: Senator Terri E. Bonoff
 
Prepared By: Bjorn E. Arneson, Senate Analyst (651/296-3812)
 
Date: March 6, 2014



 

Section 1.  Provides that the educational improvement plan under section 122A.413 satisfies the eligibility requirements of the alternative compensation preparation revenue program.

Section 2.  Adds a cross-reference from the educational improvement plan to existing teacher development, evaluation, and peer-coaching requirements.

Section 3.  Requires that the alternative teacher professional pay system (Q-comp) agreement aligns with existing teacher development, evaluation, and peer-coaching requirements.

Section 4.  Requires that a district’s annual Q-comp report include a description of how the local Q-comp system meets existing teacher development, evaluation, and peer-coaching requirements.

Section 5.  Establishes alternative compensation preparation revenue.  Districts and charter schools that do not participate in the existing Q-comp program, but have completed an educational improvement plan under section 122A.413, are eligible for alternative compensation preparation revenue for the 2015, 2016, and 2017 fiscal years only.

The preparation revenue is an equalized mix of aid and levy similar to the existing Q-comp revenue program.  Anytime before fiscal year 2018, if a district or charter school elected to fully participate in Q-comp, preparation revenue would end and Q-comp revenue would begin without interruption.

Section 6.  Appropriates money for alternative compensation preparation aid for fiscal year 2015.

Effective dates:  Sections 1-6 are effective for revenue beginning in fiscal year 2015.
