257.20 INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT STATE AID
APPROPRIATION.
1. In order to determine the amount of instructional support
state aid and the amount of local funding for the instructional
support program for a district, the department of management shall
divide the total assessed valuation in the state by the total budget
enrollment for the budget year in the state to determine a state
assessed valuation per pupil and shall divide the assessed valuation
in each district by the district's budget enrollment for the budget
year to determine the district assessed valuation per pupil. The
department of management shall multiply the ratio of the state's
valuation per pupil to the district's valuation per pupil by
twenty-five hundredths and subtract that result from one to determine
the portion of the instructional support program budget that is local
funding. The remaining portion of the budget shall be funded by
instructional support state aid. However, for the budget year
beginning July 1, 1992, only, the amount of state aid is three and
one-quarter percent less than the amount computed under this
paragraph for that budget year.
2. There is appropriated for each fiscal year from the general
fund of the state to the department of education, an amount necessary
to pay instructional support state aid as determined under subsection
1.
a. However, moneys appropriated under this subsection shall
not exceed the amount of moneys appropriated as instructional support
state aid for the budget year which commenced on July 1, 1992.
b. If the amount appropriated under this subsection is
insufficient to pay the amount of instructional support state aid
determined under subsection 1, the department of education shall
prorate the amount of the instructional support state aid provided to
each district.
3. If the general assembly makes an appropriation for
instructional support state aid in lieu of the standing appropriation
provided under subsection 2, the appropriation for instructional
support state aid shall include in the appropriation the allocation
of the instructional support state aid to the school districts
applicable for that appropriation and subsections 1 and 2 do not
apply to the appropriation.
4. Instructional support state aid shall be paid at the same time
and in the same manner as foundation aid is paid under section
257.16. Section History: Recent Form
