Summary

Section 1 of this Act appropriates 39.7 FTEs, of which up to 4.0 shall be authorized as teachers/supervisors, 31.7 authorized as teachers, 3.0 authorized as secretaries for the Department of Education and 1.0 Education Associate to operate the Prison Education Program (an additional 5.7 positions are authorized in the Department of Correction for the Prison Education Program). The qualifications for employees for the prison education program, except secretaries, shall be the same as the qualifications for employees in public high schools. Teachers/supervisors shall have teaching responsibilities as defined by job responsibilities and duties developed by the Department of Education. Salary for employees in the prison education program when paid from funds of this State, shall be in accordance with the regularly adopted salary schedules set forth in 14 Del. C. c. 13. The salary so computed shall be divided by 0.7 for 10 months employment. If employed on an 11 or 12 month basis, the 10 month amount shall be multiplied by 1.1 or 1.2 respectively. In addition to the above calculation, teachers and administrators qualifying for professional development clusters in accordance with 14 Del. C. 1305(l) shall receive an additional amount equal to the approved cluster percentage multiplied by the base salary amount defined in 14 Del. C. 1305(b). This calculation shall not be increased for 11 or 12 month employment. The percentage shall only be applied to the base 10 month salary for 10, 11 and 12 month employees. In accordance with 14 Del. C. 1305(p), the cluster percentage is capped at 15 percent. Employees whose primary job location is onsite within the institution shall also receive hazardous duty supplements as provided in the Merit System. Teachers/supervisors shall receive an administrative supplement of 4 to 8 percent to be determined by the Department of Education with the approval of the Co-Chairs of the Joint Finance Committee. Students served under this program shall not be included in the calculation for unit count purposes as defined in 14 Del. Co. c. 17. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget and Controller General may transfer funds between lines and departments to pay for this program. In the event, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget purposes or implements a position attrition or complement reduction initiative, the Director shall clearly indicate the Co-Chairs of the Joint Finance Committee when positions outlined in this section are included in said initiative(s).
