[SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEE RECRUITING AND RETENTION BONUSES]

Section 336.

(a)  Prior to reevaluation of the education resource block grant model during the 2005 interim period preceding the 2006 budget session of the legislature, as required under W.S. 21‑13‑309(t), additional funding is provided under subsection (b) of this section to school districts during school year 2005-2006 for purposes of providing bonus payments to district professional, certified and classified staff to assist districts with the retention and recruitment of employees.  The legislature recognizes that the additional funding made available under this section is in excess of the cost-based levels established by the educational resource block grant model under W.S. 21‑13‑309, as adjusted for inflation under W.S. 21‑13‑309(o)(i), and is not intended to reflect or be incorporated into any cost-based component of or adjustment to the model or to impose any condition upon or requirement for model reevaluation under W.S. 21‑13‑309(t).

(b)  Amounts received under this section shall be applied to professional, certified and classified staff as bonus payments to augment district retention and recruiting efforts for school year 2005-2006.  The department of education shall determine payments authorized under this section for each district by multiplying two hundred seventy-six dollars and sixty-eight cents ($276.68) by the district's three (3) year average daily membership, with kindergarten student enrollment divided by two (2), as computed through school year 2003-2004. The amount distributed under this subsection is exempt from the Wyoming retirement system rules on cash remuneration and shall include all benefits attributable to the respective district professional, certified or classified staff receiving the bonus payment.  Any amount distributed under this section shall not be included in the transportation and special education adjustments to the education resource block grant model under W.S. 21‑13‑320 and 21‑13‑321 for school year 2005-2006 and reported for reimbursement in the subsequent school year.

(c)  Payments to school districts computed under subsection (b) of this section shall be made by the department of education from amounts within the school foundation program account as appropriated by the legislature under subsection (e) of this section and shall be in addition to the school year 2005-2006 foundation program amount computed for each district under W.S. 21‑13‑309(p).  If there is an insufficient amount within the foundation program account for payments under this section, the department shall make a pro rata reduction in district payments.

(d)  Payments received by school districts pursuant to this section shall be expended only for retention and recruiting bonuses for district professional, certified and classified employees. Expenditures of payments under this section shall supplement any existing district operating funds dedicated to employee compensation.  The intent of the additional payment is to enhance district employee retention and recruiting capabilities, and not to expand the number of district employees.  On or before October 15, 2005, each district receiving a payment under this section shall report actual or budgeted payment expenditures to the department of education, in a form and manner specified by the department, clearly reporting in detail the amount awarded to each employee and the purpose for the award. Reports by school districts shall be certified in writing by the district superintendent and the chairman of the district board of trustees.  Upon receipt, the department shall immediately compile the district reports and submit the compilation to members of the management council, joint education interim committee and the joint appropriations interim committee.

(e)  For the period commencing July 1, 2005, and ending June 30, 2006, twenty-two million seven hundred thirty-six thousand dollars ($22,736,000.00) is appropriated from amounts within the school foundation program account for purposes of this section.".
