This amendment provides funding for the state's share of a 2.0 percent compensation supplement, for SOQ instructional and support positions and Academic Year Governor's School instructional and support positions. The amount of state funding is calculated based on an effective date of February 15, 2018. School divisions shall have the flexibility to qualify for these state funds if they certify that they have provided or will provide an increase of at least 2.0 percent at some point during the 2016-18 biennium. In other words, at least 2.0 percent in fiscal year 2017 or at least 2.0 percent in fiscal year 2018, or via two separate increases in each fiscal year, such as 1.0 percent in fiscal year 2017 and 1.0 percent in fiscal year 2018 that together add to at least 2.0 percent. Companion amendments reverse the 1.5 percent bonus proposed in the budget as introduced and add $34.1 million to the Supplemental Lottery Per Pupil Allocation.
