Bill Summary
This bill provides that career and technical education instructors are eligible for shared operational functions for purposes of supplementary weighting. Under current law, school districts that share certain operational functions with another political subdivision are assigned a supplementary weighting for each shared operational function in order to provide additional funding to increase student opportunities and redirect more resources to student programming. The bill adds career and technical education instructors to the list of positions that qualify for supplementary weighting when shared between a school district and another political subdivision for at least 20 percent of the school year. The bill provides that a school district that shares the operational function of a career and technical education instructor will receive a supplementary weighting of two pupils. The bill defines “career and technical education instructor” as a licensed teacher who holds a career and technical endorsement for grades 5 through 12, including in agriculture, family consumer sciences, industrial technology, business, or information technology, or an individual who holds a career and technical education authorization for grades 5 through 12.
