45023.4.  

(a) This section shall be known, and may be cited,
as the Jack O’Connell Beginning-Teacher Salary Incentive
Program. Commencing in the 1999-2000 fiscal year the county
superintendent of schools or the county board of education may
increase, for teachers who meet the requirements of this
subdivision, the salary on its adopted certificated employee salary
schedule as provided in subdivision (b). For purposes of this
section, a teacher for whom the county superintendent of schools
or county board of education may increase salaries shall meet all
of the following criteria:

(1) Hold a valid California teaching credential, not including
an emergency permit, intern permit, or waiver.

(2) Possess a baccalaureate or higher degree.

(3) Receive a salary paid from the general fund of the district
or county office.

(b) The county superintendent of schools or county board of
education that elects to increase teachers’ salaries as authorized
pursuant to subdivision (a) shall perform the following
computations:

(1) The county superintendent of schools or county board of
education shall designate as the lowest salary on the salary schedule
for a certificated employee meeting or exceeding the criteria in
subdivision (a) an amount equal to a minimum annual salary of
thirty-two thousand dollars ($32,000). If this salary change results
in costs to the county office of education that are equal to or greater
than the incentive received pursuant to subdivision (c), the
minimum salary shall be thirty-two thousand dollars ($32,000). If
this salary change results in costs to the county offices of education
that are less than the incentive received, the remainder shall be
used to increase the beginning salary by an amount above
thirty-two thousand dollars ($32,000) which fully applies the
incentive received.

(2) The county superintendent of schools or county board of
education shall increase to the annual salary amount in paragraph
(1) the salary of a certificated employee meeting the criteria in
subdivision (a) whose salary on the salary schedule is less than
the amount computed in paragraph (1) and, notwithstanding Section
45028, shall incorporate that increase into the salary schedule.

(3) The newly adopted salary schedule shall contain only one
cell that meets the amount set forth in paragraph (1), which most
often is the first-year step of a salary schedule column for
certificated personnel who meet the criteria set forth in subdivision
(a). All other salary schedule cells shall exceed the level set forth
in paragraph (1) for personnel that meet the criteria in subdivision
(a).

(c) In the 1999-2000 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall divide
the amount appropriated for the purposes of this section by the
1998-99 second principal apportionment average daily attendance
for all county offices of education in the state. Each county office
of education that certifies to the Superintendent that it is in full
compliance with this section shall receive following that
certification an amount equal to the results of the calculation
multiplied by the participating county office’s 1998-99 second
principal apportionment average daily attendance.

(d) For the 2000-01 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
for each county office of education that meets the requirements of
subdivision (b), the Superintendent shall add the sum of paragraphs
(1) and (2) to the county office of education revenue limit
computed pursuant to Section 2550.

(1) Annually increase the statewide average funding rate per
unit of average daily attendance calculated pursuant to subdivision
(c) by the percentage increase identified pursuant to Section 2557
and multiply the resulting product by the county office of
education’s second period average daily attendance for the prior
fiscal year excluding attendance in regional occupational centers
or programs, adult education programs, and charter schools
participating in the charter school block grant pursuant to Article
2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of
Division 4.

(2) Annually increase the statewide average funding rate per
unit of average daily attendance calculated pursuant to subdivision
(c) by the percentage increase identified pursuant to Section 2557
and multiply the resulting product by the county office of
education’s second period average daily attendance for the prior
fiscal year in regional occupational centers or programs excluding
attendance in charter schools participating in the charter school
block grant pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633)
of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of Division 4.

(3) For purposes of the calculation required by paragraph (2),
in the 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14,
and 2014-15 fiscal years, the second period average daily
attendance for the prior fiscal year shall be the second period
average daily attendance for the 2007-08 fiscal year.

(e) The adjustment to the county office of education revenue
limit prescribed in subdivision (d) shall continue so long as the
increase in the salary schedule made pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (b) is maintained.

(f) The adjustment made to county office of education revenue
limits pursuant to subdivision (d) shall not be considered part of
the base revenue limit for purposes of computing equalization
adjustments or determining other differences in school funding
that are based on the amount of funding received by a school
district or county office of education.
