This amendment provides $52.8 million the second year from the general fund for instructional and support positions the state's share of a 1.5 percent salary increase for funded SOQ instructional and support positions and for a 1.5% salary incentive for the Academic Year Governor's Schools instructional and support positions. Although state funding is calculated based on 1.5 percent with an effective date of August 16, 2015, the local required match is based on a average of 1.5 percent with an effective date of no later than January 1, 2016, and divisions must certify that a minimum 1.5 percent increase will be provided to employees by this date. The amendment specifies that in meeting the salary increases to be eligible for this incentive funding, school divisions may not include any increases that were provided in fiscal year 2016 to offset the cost of required member contributions to the VRS. Furthermore, this allocation is contingent on the state revenue forecast performance pursuant to the provisions set out in Item 467.O.1.
