257.8 STATE PERCENT OF GROWTH -- ALLOWABLE GROWTH.
1. State percent of growth. The state percent of growth for
the budget year beginning July 1, 2009, is four percent. The state
percent of growth for the budget year beginning July 1, 2010, is two
percent. The state percent of growth for each subsequent budget year
shall be established by statute which shall be enacted within thirty
days of the submission in the year preceding the base year of the
governor's budget under section 8.21. The establishment of the state
percent of growth for a budget year shall be the only subject matter
of the bill which enacts the state percent of growth for a budget
year.
2. Categorical state percent of growth. The categorical
state percent of growth for the budget year beginning July 1, 2010,
is two percent. The categorical state percent of growth for each
budget year shall be established by statute which shall be enacted
within thirty days of the submission in the year preceding the base
year of the governor's budget under section 8.21. The establishment
of the categorical state percent of growth for a budget year shall be
the only subject matter of the bill which enacts the categorical
state percent of growth for a budget year. The categorical state
percent of growth may include state percents of growth for the
teacher salary supplement, the professional development supplement,
and the early intervention supplement.
3. Allowable growth calculation. The department of
management shall calculate the regular program allowable growth for a
budget year by multiplying the state percent of growth for the budget
year by the regular program state cost per pupil for the base year
and shall calculate the special education support services allowable
growth for the budget year by multiplying the state percent of growth
for the budget year by the special education support services state
cost per pupil for the base year.
4. Alternate allowable growth -- gifted and talented
programs. Notwithstanding the calculation in subsection 3, the
department of management shall calculate the regular program
allowable growth for the budget year beginning July 1, 1999, by
multiplying the state percent of growth for the budget year by the
regular program state cost per pupil for the base year, and add to
the resulting product thirty-eight dollars. For purposes of
determining the amount of a budget adjustment as defined in section
257.14, for a school district which calculated allowable growth for
the budget year beginning July 1, 1999, pursuant to this subsection,
thirty-eight dollars shall be subtracted from the school district's
regular program cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1,
1999, prior to determining the amount of the adjustment.
5. Alternate allowable growth -- regular program state cost.
A school district which calculated allowable growth for the budget
year beginning July 1, 1999, pursuant to the provisions of subsection
4, shall calculate allowable growth pursuant to the provisions of
subsection 3 for the school budget year beginning July 1, 2000, and
succeeding budget years, utilizing a regular program state cost per
pupil figure which incorporates the thirty-eight dollar increase in
regular program allowable growth calculated for the budget year
beginning July 1, 1999.
6. Combined allowable growth. The combined allowable growth
per pupil for each school district is the sum of the regular program
allowable growth per pupil and the special education support services
allowable growth per pupil for the budget year, which may be modified
as follows:
a. By the school budget review committee under section
257.31.
b. By the department of management under section 257.36.
7. Alternate allowable growth -- definitions. For budget
years beginning July 1, 2000, and subsequent budget years, references
to the terms "allowable growth", "regular program state cost
per pupil", and "regular program district cost per pupil" shall
mean those terms as calculated for those school districts that
calculated regular program allowable growth for the school budget
year beginning July 1, 1999, with the additional thirty-eight
dollars. Section History: Recent Form
