Subdivision 1.

Revenue amount.

(a) A school district, intermediate school district,

revenue.

(b) For school district and intermediate school district applications, the commissioner
must consider only those applications to participate that are submitted jointly by a
district and the exclusive representative of the teachers. The application must contain an
alternative teacher professional pay system agreement that:

(1) implements an alternative teacher professional pay system consistent with

(2) is negotiated and adopted according to the Public Employment Labor Relations
Act under chapter 179A, except that notwithstanding section 179A.20, subdivision 3, a
district may enter into a contract for a term of two or four years.

Alternative teacher compensation revenue for a qualifying school district or site in
which the school board and the exclusive representative of the teachers agree to place
teachers in the district or at the site on the alternative teacher professional pay system
equals $260 times the number of pupils enrolled at the district or site on October 1 of
the previous fiscal year. Alternative teacher compensation revenue for a qualifying
intermediate school district must be calculated under section 126C.10, subdivision 34,
paragraphs (a) and (b).

(c) For a newly combined or consolidated district, the revenue shall be computed
using the sum of pupils enrolled on October 1 of the previous year in the districts entering
into the combination or consolidation. The commissioner may adjust the revenue
computed for a site using prior year data to reflect changes attributable to school closings,
school openings, or grade level reconfigurations between the prior year and the current
year.

(d) The revenue is available only to school districts, intermediate school districts,
school sites, and charter schools that fully implement an alternative teacher professional
pay system by October 1 of the current school year.

(a) Districts, intermediate school districts, school sites,
or charter schools with approved applications must receive alternative compensation
revenue for each school year that the district, intermediate school district, school site,
or charter school implements an alternative teacher professional pay system under this
subdivision and section 122A.414. For fiscal year 2007 and later, a qualifying district,
intermediate school district, school site, or charter school that received alternative teacher
compensation aid for the previous fiscal year must receive at least an amount of alternative
teacher compensation revenue equal to the lesser of the amount it received for the previous
fiscal year or the amount it qualifies for under subdivision 1 for the current fiscal year if
the district, intermediate school district, school site, or charter school submits a timely
application and the commissioner determines that the district, intermediate school district,
school site, or charter school continues to implement an alternative teacher professional
pay system, consistent with its application under this section.

(b) The commissioner shall approve applications that comply with subdivision 1,
and section 122A.414, subdivisions 2, paragraph (b), and 2a, if the applicant is a charter
school, in the order in which they are received, select applicants that qualify for this
program, notify school districts, intermediate school districts, school sites, and charter
schools about the program, develop and disseminate application materials, and carry out
other activities needed to implement this section.

(c) For applications approved under this section before August 1 of the fiscal year for
which the aid is paid, the portion of the state total basic alternative teacher compensation
aid entitlement allocated to charter schools must not exceed $522,000 for fiscal year 2006
and $3,374,000 for fiscal year 2007. For fiscal year 2008 and later, the portion of the state

enrollment for the previous fiscal year to the state total charter school enrollment for deleted text begin the
second previous yeardeleted text end new text begin fiscal year 2006new text end . Additional basic alternative teacher compensation
aid may be approved for charter schools after August 1, not to exceed the charter school

grades 7 through 12 in the high school, times the ratio of six to the number of grades
in the high school.

divided by the number of high schools in the district. For a district that does not operate
a high school and is less than 19 miles from the nearest operating high school, the
attendance area equals zero.

(d) "Isolation index" for a high school means the square root of 55 percent of the
attendance area plus the distance in miles, according to the usually traveled routes,
between the high school and the nearest high school. For a district in which there is located

one elementary school, the average daily membership of pupils served in kindergarten
through grade 6. For a district that has more than one elementary school, "average daily
membership" for each school means the average daily membership of pupils served in
kindergarten through grade 6 multiplied by the ratio of seven to the number of grades
in the elementary school.

(a) For fiscal year 2006,

tuition rate to be charged for any child with a disability, excluding a pupil for whom tuition

rate. Notwithstanding chapter 14, the commissioner must then set a date for a hearing or
request a written statement from each board, giving each board at least ten days' notice,
and after the hearing or review of the written statements the commissioner must make an
order fixing the tuition rate, which is binding on both school districts. General education
revenue and referendum aid attributable to a pupil must be calculated using the resident
district's average general education and referendum revenue per adjusted pupil unit.

(b) For fiscal year 2007 and later, when a school district provides special instruction
and services for a pupil with a disability as defined in section 125A.02 outside the district
of residence, excluding a pupil for whom an adjustment to special education aid is
calculated according to section 127A.47, subdivision 7, paragraph (e), special education

cost of providing special instruction and services to the pupil, including a proportionate
amount for special transportation and unreimbursed building lease and debt service costs
for facilities used primarily for special education, plus (2) the amount of general education
revenue and referendum aid attributable to that pupil, minus (3) the amount of special

paid to the district or cooperative providing special instruction and services for the pupil
must be increased by the amount of the reduction in the aid paid to the resident district.
Amounts paid to cooperatives under this subdivision and section 127A.47, subdivision
7, shall be recognized and reported as revenues and expenditures on the resident school
district's books of account under sections 123B.75 and 123B.76. If the resident district's
special education aid is insufficient to make the full adjustment, the remaining adjustment
shall be made to other state aid due to the district.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) and section 127A.47, subdivision 7,
paragraphs (d) and (e), a charter school where more than 30 percent of enrolled students
receive special education and related services, an intermediate district, or a special
education cooperative may apply to the commissioner for authority to charge the resident
district an additional amount to recover any remaining unreimbursed costs of serving
pupils with a disability. The application must include a description of the costs and the
calculations used to determine the unreimbursed portion to be charged to the resident
district. Amounts approved by the commissioner under this paragraph must be included
in the tuition billings or aid adjustments under paragraph (a) or (b), or section 127A.47,
subdivision 7, paragraph (d) or (e), as applicable.
