On page 409, line 15, after "committee on" strike "March 24, 2023" and insert "April 2, 2023"

On page 409, line 30, decrease the general fund-state appropriation for fiscal year 2024 by $28,943,000

On page 409, line 31, increase the general fund-state appropriation for fiscal year 2025 by $9,569,000

On page 409, line 34, correct the total.

On page 409, after line 27, insert the following:

"(5) By January 1, 2024, the office of the superintendent of public instruction must recommend updates to regionalization and experience factors for the 2025-26 school year to reflect differences in the costs-of-living and composition of certificated instructional staff between school districts. The recommendation must not include any adjustments to the state minimum salary allocation or inflation factors other than changes to regionalization and experience factors."

EFFECT:   Refers to a revised LEAP Document 3, dated April 2, 2023, that defines regionalization factors for K-12 salary allocations. The revised factors maintain 2023-23 regionalization and experience factors for the 2023-24 school year. In 2024-25, school districts with lower regionalization factors for state salary allocations due to the 2023 rebase required in RCW 28A.150.412 are only lowered by half.

Requires the office of the superintendent of public instruction to recommend revised regionalization and experience factors for the 2025-26 school year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

 Reduces General Fund - State by $19,365,000.
