§ 1565. Salary assistance
(a) The State Board shall reimburse a school district operating a career technical center
for a portion of its cost in paying the salary of the following persons:
(1) the director of career technical education;
(2) a person whose principal duty is to provide guidance services for career technical
students;
(3) a person whose principal duty is to find job training opportunities for students during
the time they are enrolled at the career technical center;
(4) an assistant director for adult education;
(5) an assistant director of career technical education, if the career technical center
has full-time equivalent enrollment of at least 150 and the sending school population
is at least 30 percent of the career technical center’s total full-time equivalent
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, except for assistant directors for adult education, 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) Salary assistance for assistant directors for adult education shall be up to 50 percent
of the State average salary and benefits paid to full-time assistant directors for
adult education; salary assistance shall be prorated for part-time assistant directors.
Salary assistance under this subdivision (1)(C) shall not be paid from the Education
Fund to the extent that the obligation is not fully funded from the General Fund.
State General Fund assistance shall be divided so that each district employing an
assistant director receives the same base amount of State salary support. The base
support shall be pro-rated for part-time assistant directors. Payment under this subsection
(b) does not preclude a district from using other State and federal grants to supplement
the actual salaries and benefits of assistant directors for adult education.
(2) Shall require as a condition of assistance that the director:
(A) Is responsible for the overall administration of all career technical programs.
(B) Reports administratively to the superintendent of schools for the supervisory union
of the school district that operates the center, or to a headmaster if the career
technical center is not managed by a school board. (Added 1983, No. 247 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 1987, No. 238 (Adj. Sess.), § 12; 1991, No. 204 (Adj. Sess.), § 7; 2007, No. 46, § 5a, eff. May 23, 2007; 2007, No. 66, § 8; 2007, No. 192 (Adj. Sess.), § 6.004.1.)
