1.
Findings
and
intent.
The

need
to
be
more
competitive
in
recruiting
24
and

25
Therefore,
it
is
the
intent
of
the
general
assembly
to
26
encourage
school
districts
to
provide
supplemental
assistance
27
to
teachers
to
teach
in
high-need
schools.
This

to
define

school
day.
Under
the
bill,
7
instructional
time
for
grades
1
through
12
is
still
exclusive
8
of
the
lunch
period
but
may
include
passing
time
between

classes.
The
bill
strikes
language
that
permits
a
school
10
or
school
district
to
record
a
day
of
school
with
less
than
11
the

fees
payable

and
accredited
nonpublic

online
state
job
posting
system.
The
system
must
be
accessible
33

and
must
include
a
mechanism
for

the
electronic
submission
of
job
openings
for
posting
on
the
2
system.
The
system
and
each
job
posting
on
the
system
must
3
include
a
statement
that
an
employer
submitting
a
job
opening
4
for
posting
on
the
system
will
not
engage
in
discrimination
in
5
hiring.
6
The
bill
requires
school
districts,
charter
schools,
and
7
area
education
agencies
to
submit
all
of
their
job
openings
to
8
the
department
of

on
the
system.
The
9
bill
requires
the
department
to
post
all
of
its
job
openings
10
on
the
system.
The
bill
provides
that
accredited
nonpublic
11
schools
may,
but
are
not
required
to,
submit
job
openings
to
12
the
department
for
posting
on
the
system.
13
The
establishment
of
the
online
state
job
posting
system
is
14
not
to
be
construed
to
prohibit
any
employer
from
advertising
15
job
openings
and
recruiting
employees
independently
of
the
16
system,
to
prohibit
any
employer
from
using
another
method
of
17
advertising
job
openings
or
another
applicant

system
18
in
addition
to
the
system,
or
to

hiring
process

or
hiring
decisions
of
any

other
than

Code
section

of
$400
beginning
with

For

2015,
and
succeeding
10
budget
years,
the
teacher
leadership
supplement
district
cost
11
per

if
the

of
management
determines
that
the
16
unadjusted
teacher
leadership
supplement
district
cost
of
a
17
school
district
for
a

year
is
less
than

20
shall
receive
a
budget

for
that

equal
21
to
the
difference.
The
bill
also
provides
that
the
use
of
22
the
funds
calculated
for
the
supplement
shall
comply
with
the
23
requirements
of
the

under
which
the

27
The

is
not

IOWA
TEACHER
CAREER
PATH
MODIFICATIONS.
The
bill
modifies
6
the
Iowa
teacher
career
path
to
be
a
model
that
may
be
approved
7
by
the
commission
on
educator
leadership
and
compensation.
The
8
bill
establishes,
beginning
July
1,
2014,
new
minimum
salaries
9
under
the
model
of
$35,000
for
beginning
teachers,
$37,000
for
10
a
first-year
career
teacher,
$42,000
for
a
first-year
career
11
II
teacher,
and
$50,500
for
a
first-year
advanced
teacher
12
employed
by
a
school
district
approved
to
implement
the
model
13
and
to
receive
teacher
leadership
supplement
funds.
However,
14
a
teacher
shall
not
receive
less
compensation
in
a
district
15
than
the
teacher
received
in
the
school
year
preceding
the
16
district’s
compliance,
on
or
after
July
1,
2014,
with
the
Iowa
17
teacher
career
path
model.
18
The
contract
for
a
career
II
teacher
shall
exceed
the
19
contract
term
issued
to
a
career
teacher
by
an
additional
five
20
days,
while
the
contract
for
an
advanced
teacher
shall
exceed
a
21
career
teacher
contract
by
10
days.
22
Approximately
25
percent
of
the
career
II
teacher’s
total
23
contract
time
shall
be
spent
on
noninstructional
duties,
while
24
the
goal
for
an
advanced
teacher
is
that
at
least
50
percent
25
of
the
advanced
teacher’s
total
contract
time
be
spent
on
26
noninstructional
duties.
The
bill
specifies
the
additional
27
duties
that
career
II
and
advanced
teachers
may
or
must
engage
28
in,
if
mutually
agreed
to
by
the
school
district
and
the
29
teacher.
30
As
an
alternative
to
the
25
percent
noninstructional
time
31
requirement
a
career
II
may
engage
in
peer
coaching
for
at
32
least
five
hours
per
week,
and
receive
an
hourly
rate
of
33
compensation
for
such
time
in
addition
to
the
teacher’s
salary
34
as
a
career
II
teacher.
An
advanced
teacher
may
also
engage

in

Peer
coaching
is
defined
to
mean
additional
1
guidance
in
one
or
more
aspects
of
the
teaching
profession
2
provided
to
a
teacher.
Assignment
as
a
peer
coach
must
be
3
approved
by
a
principal
but
may
be
requested
by
an
individual
4
teacher.
Peer
coaching
duties
are
further
described
in
the
5
bill.
6
The
bill
establishes
staffing
goals
for
school
districts,
7
including
employment
of
at
least
one
career
II
teacher
in
each
8
elementary
school;
at
least
one
advanced
teacher
for
every
9
three

at
least
one
career

10
teacher
for
each
of
four
core
subject
areas
taught
in
grades
11
7-12.
12
The
bill
strikes
language
that
permits
a
school
district
13
that
is
unable
to
meet
the
minimum
salary
provisions
of
14
the
Iowa
teacher
career
path
to
request
a
waiver
from
the
15
department
to
use
funds
from
the
early

supplement
16
if
the
difference
between
the
teacher
salary
supplement
and
the

amount
required
to
meet

is
not
less
than

PATH
MODEL,

22
as
specified
in
the

or
a

of
career

and

However,
the
minimum
25

must
26
include

not
be

INSTRUCTIONAL
COACH
AND
CURRICULUM
AND
PROFESSIONAL
3
DEVELOPMENT
LEADER
MODEL.
The
instructional
coach
and
4
curriculum
and
professional
development
leader
duties
and
5
qualifications
are
specified
in
the
bill.
The
first
two
levels
6
match
the
requirements
for
the
beginning
and
career
teacher
7
requirements
of
the
Iowa
teacher
career
path
model,
with
the
8
residency
requirements
specified
for
the
initial
teacher
under
9
the
framework.
10
The
third
level
is
that
of
instructional
coach.
The
11
instructional
coach
must
receive
a
stipend
of
between
$5,000
12
and
$7,000
annually
in
addition
to
the
teacher’s
salary
13
as
a
career
teacher,
while
the
curriculum
and
professional
14
development
leader
must
receive
a
stipend
of
between
$10,000
15
and
$12,000
annually
in
addition
to
the
teacher’s
salary
as
a
16
model
teacher.
The
staffing
guidelines
for
this
comparable
17
system
require
a
school
district
to
employ
one
instructional
18
coach
at
each
attendance
center
or
at
least
one
instructional
19
coach
for
every
500
students
enrolled
in
an
attendance
center,
20
whichever
number
is
greater.
21
The
contract
term
for
a
curriculum
and
professional
22
development
leader
shall
exceed
the
contract
term
issued
to
a
23
model
teacher
by
an
additional
15
days.
24
IMPLEMENTATION.
Though
school
districts
have
until
July
1,
25
2016,
to
implement
approved
models,
frameworks,
and
systems,
26
school
districts
may,
prior
to
that
date,
apply
to
the
27
commission
on
educator
leadership
and
compensation
for
early
28
implementation
of
a
model,
framework,
or
comparable
system.
29
The
department
is
directed
to
establish
criteria
and
a
process
30
for
application.
31
A
school
district
is
not
required
to
fully
implement
the
32
models,
framework,
or
comparable
system
if
implementation
costs
33
exceed
the
state
school
foundation
aid
the
school
district
34
receives.
However,
in
such
circumstance,
the
school
district
35
-54-
LSB
2122SV
(5)
85
kh/rj
54/
65
S.F.
423
must
implement
as
much
of
the
approved
model,
framework,
or
1
system
as
is
reasonably
possible,
and
must,
at
a
minimum,
meet
2
the
minimum
salary
for
an
Iowa
teacher.
3
PLANNING
GRANTS.
Contingent
on
an
appropriation
for
such
4
purpose,
a
school
district
may
apply
to
the
department
for
5
a
planning
grant
to
design
an
implementation
strategy
to
6
establish
a
model,
the
framework,
or
a
comparable
system.
7
The
application
submitted
to
the
department
must
reflect
a
8
local
decision-making
process
that
includes
representation
9
of
administrators,
teachers,
and
parents
and
guardians
10
of
students.
The
department
is
directed
to
establish
an
11
application
for
the
awarding
of
planning
grants.
12
FRAMEWORK
DESIGN.
The
framework
is
designed
to
attract
able
13
and
promising
new
teachers
by
offering
competitive
starting
14
salaries
and
offering
short-term
and
long-term
professional
15
development
and
leadership
opportunities,
retain
effective
16
teachers
by
providing
enhanced
career
opportunities,
promote
17
collaboration
by
developing
and
supporting
opportunities
for
18
teachers
in
schools
and
school
districts
statewide
to
