          (2)(a) Districts shall certify to the superintendent of public instruction such information as may be necessary regarding the years of service and educational experience of basic education certificated instructional employees for the purposes of calculating certificated instructional staff salary allocations pursuant to this section.  Any change in information previously certified, on the basis of years of experience or educational credits, shall be reported and certified to the superintendent of public instruction at the time such change takes place.

          (ii) The district's salary allocation per certificated instructional staff unit computed under subsection (1)(a) of this section multiplied by the compounded increase provided in this subsection, adjusted for incremental fringe benefits.  The compounded increase for each district shall be ((7.12))  .....  percent, compounded by the percentage difference between the district's average staff mix factor for actual 1990-91 full time equivalent basic education certificated instructional employees computed using LEAP Document 1R and such factor for the same 1990-91 employees computed using LEAP Document 1.
