the
employer’s
share
of
contributions
to
the

Iowa
public

retirement
system
and
the
employer’s
5
share
of
the
tax
imposed
by
the
federal
Insurance
Contributions
6
Act.
The
bill
requires
similar
calculations
in
the
budget
year
7
beginning
July
1,
2025,
to
account
for
the
increase
in
the
8
minimum
annual
teacher
salary.
The
bill
also
provides
that
the
9
amount
calculated
related
to
ESP
shall
grow
by
the
categorical
10
state
percent
of
growth.
For
budget
years
beginning
on
or
11
after
July
1,
2026,
the
teacher
salary
supplement
district
cost
12
per
pupil
for
each
school
district
for
a
budget
year
is
the
13
teacher
salary
supplement
program
district
cost
per
pupil
for
14
the
base
year
plus
the
teacher
salary
supplement
supplemental
15
state
aid
amount
for
the
budget
year,
which
is
the
calculation
16
used
for
the
budget
year
2023-2024.
17
The
bill
appropriates
$22
million
to
the
department
of
18
education
(DE)
for
FY
2024-2025
to
provide
a
funding
supplement
19
to
each
school
district
to
be
used
at
the
school
district’s
20
discretion
to
supplement
teacher
salaries
and
the
salaries
and
21
wages
of
ESP
in
a
manner
that
promotes
quality
teaching
and
22
rewards
experience.
Each
school
district’s
funding
supplement
23
amount
will
be
an
amount
equal
to
$22
million
multiplied
by
24
the
quotient
of
the
school
district’s
budget
enrollment
for
25
the
budget
year
beginning
July
1,
2023,
and
ending
June
30,
26
2024,
divided
by
the
statewide
total
budget
enrollment
for
the
27
budget
year
beginning
July
1,
2023,
and
ending
June
30,
2024.
28
The
moneys
appropriated
to
the
DE
that
remain
unencumbered
or
29
unobligated
at
the
close
of
the
fiscal
year
do
not
revert
but
30
remain
available
for
expenditure
for
the
purposes
designated
31
until
the
close
of
the
succeeding
fiscal
year.
The
payment
of
32
funding
supplement
amounts
must
be
paid
by
the
DE
at
the
same
33
time
and
in
the
same
manner
as
the
teacher
salary
supplement
34
district
cost
is
paid
for
FY
2024-2025.
