State of Washington | 65th Legislature | 2018 Regular Session |
By Representative Haler
Read first time 02/01/18. Referred to Committee on Appropriations.
AN ACT Relating to the Kennewick and Pasco school district regionalization factors used for compensation; amending 2017 3rd sp.s. c 1 s 503 (uncodified); and creating a new section.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that the Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco school districts serve students connected by a common local economy, community, and region. These districts are treated differently in the regionalization factors applied to school salaries under the changes made to basic education funding in the 2017 session, with Richland receiving regional adjustments of six percent, and Pasco and Kennewick receiving no adjustment. In recognition of the similar economic characteristic of the communities served by these school districts and the common economy and region they share, the legislature finds that regionalization factors should treat these school districts equally.
Sec. 2. 2017 3rd sp.s. c 1 s 503 (uncodified) is amended to read as follows:
FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION—BASIC EDUCATION EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
(1) The following calculations determine the salaries used in the state allocations for certificated instructional, certificated administrative, and classified staff units as provided in House Bill No. 2242 (fully funding the program of basic education), RCW
28A.150.260, and under section 502 of this act:
(a) For the 2017-18 school year, salary allocations for certificated instructional staff units are determined for each district by multiplying the district's certificated instructional total base salary shown on LEAP Document 2 by the district's average staff mix factor for certificated instructional staff in that school year, computed using LEAP document 1.
(b) For the 2017-18 school year, salary allocations for certificated administrative staff units and classified staff units for each district are determined based on the district's certificated administrative and classified salary allocation amounts shown on LEAP Document 2.
(c) For the 2018-19 school year salary allocations for certificated instructional staff, certificated administrative staff, and classified staff units are determined for each school district by multiplying the statewide minimum salary allocation for each staff type by the school district's regionalization factor shown in LEAP Document 3.
