BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

 

        Sec. 1.  RCW 28A.150.410 and 1990 c 33 s 118 are each amended to read as follows:

          (1) The legislature shall establish for each school year in the appropriations act a state-wide salary allocation schedule, for allocation purposes only, to be used to distribute funds for basic education certificated instructional staff salaries under RCW 28A.150.260.

          (2) The superintendent of public instruction shall calculate salary allocations for state funded basic education certificated instructional staff by determining the district average salary for basic education instructional staff using the salary allocation schedule established pursuant to this section.  However, no district shall receive an allocation based upon an average basic education certificated instructional staff salary which is less than the average of the district's 1986‑87 actual basic education certificated instructional staff salaries, as reported to the superintendent of public instruction prior to June 1, 1987, and the legislature may grant minimum salary increases on that base:  PROVIDED, That the superintendent of public instruction may adjust this allocation based upon the education and experience of the district's certificated instructional staff.

          (3) For purposes of the state-wide salary allocation schedule, the calculations used in determining credits in excess of a baccalaureate degree shall be as follows:  (a) For individuals who received their baccalaureate degree before September 1, 1992, college quarter credits and in-service credits computed in accordance with RCW 28A.415.020 earned in excess of one hundred eighty, and (b) for individuals who received their baccalaureate degree on or after September 1, 1992, college quarter credits and in-service credits computed in accordance with RCW 28A.415.020 earned after receiving the baccalaureate degree.

          (4) Beginning January 1, 1992, no more than ninety college quarter-hour credits received by any employee after the baccalaureate degree may be used to determine compensation allocations under the state salary allocation schedule and LEAP documents referenced in the biennial appropriations act, or any replacement schedules and documents, unless:

          (a) The employee has a masters degree; or

          (b) The credits were used in generating state salary allocations before January 1, 1992.
