1997 Minnesota Statutes

     124A.31 Equitable compensation penalty. 

    Subdivision 1.    Implementation.  A school district 
 subject to sections 471.991 to 471.999 shall implement the plan 
 to establish equitable compensation relationships set forth in 
 its report to the commissioner of employee relations.  The plan 
 shall be implemented by December 31, 1991, unless a later date 
 is approved by the commissioner.  If a report was filed before 
 October 1, 1987, and had an implementation date after December 
 31, 1991, the date in the report shall be approved by the 
 commissioner.  

    Subd. 2.    Aid reduction for administration costs.  By 
 October 1, 1992, the commissioner of employee relations shall 
 certify to the commissioner of education the school districts 
 that have not complied with subdivision 1.  For each of these 
 school districts, the commissioner of education shall reduce 
 general education aid for fiscal year 1993 by an amount equal to 
 five percent of the district's administration costs for the 
 1990-1991 school year.  If the reduction exceeds the district's 
 general education aid, the reduction shall be made from other 
 aids paid to the district.  

    Subd. 3.    Adjustment of years.  The commissioners of 
 employee relations and children, families, and learning shall 
 adjust the years designated in subdivision 2 for school 
 districts with implementation dates after December 31, 1991.  

    Subd. 4.    Extensions.  The commissioner of employee 
 relations must extend an implementation date upon a finding that 
 failure to implement was attributable to severe hardship or to 
 circumstances beyond the control of the district.
