BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA:


     SECTION 1.      Of the funding provided for the support of public school activities in Sections 100 and 101 of Senate Bill No. 80XX of the 2nd Extraordinary Session of the 50th Oklahoma Legislature, and for duties imposed upon the State Board of Career and Technology Education in Section 126 of Senate Bill No. 80XX of the 2nd Extraordinary Session of the 50th Oklahoma Legislature, funding for certified personnel salary increases shall be allocated to local public school districts and technology center school districts in the amount of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) per state-paid certified personnel, as defined in Section 26-103 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes. For certified personnel whose salary is funded partially by federal funds, the salary increase provided for in this section shall be prorated according to the percentage of the salary that is state funded. For certified personnel who are employed for less than a full six-hour school day by any one or more school districts, the salary increase shall be prorated according to the number of hours worked by the certified employee. No part of the amount of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) provided for each teacher shall be used by school districts to fund the employer contribution payments mandated by Section 17-108.1 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes and the employer Federal Insurance Contributions Act (F.I.C.A.) payments attributable to the salary increase. The salary level of each state-paid teacher who was employed in a public school district during the 2005-06 school year shall be increased by at least Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) for the 2006-07 school year, unless the hours or the duties of the employee are reduced proportionately. The salary increase provided for in this section shall be in addition to, and not as a replacement for, the step increase indicated for the certified employee pursuant to the State Minimum Salary Schedule, as provided in Section 18-114.12 of Title 70 of the Oklahoma Statutes, and shall not be contingent upon school district adoption of or participation in a merit-based or incentive pay plan for certified personnel. A school district shall have the option of providing the salary increase to the superintendent of that school district. Funding for any salary for a superintendent given pursuant to this section shall be provided from other revenues. The State Department of Education shall disburse these monies to local school districts on a monthly basis beginning September 1, 2006. To determine the amount of the initial disbursements for each school district, the State Board of Education shall use the data of the number of certified personnel as reported in the final Oklahoma Annual Certified Personnel Report for FY06. After February 1, 2007, the disbursements shall be adjusted based on the final Oklahoma Annual Certified Personnel Report for FY07.

     SECTION 2.      AMENDATORY      Section 1, Chapter 503, O.S.L. 2004, (70 O.S. Supp. 2005, Section 18-114.12), is amended to read as follows:

Any of the degrees referred to in this section shall be from a college recognized by the State Board of Education. The State Board of Education shall accept teaching experience from out-of-state school districts that are accredited by the State Board of Education or appropriate state accrediting agency for said districts. For the purpose of state salary increments and retirement, no teacher shall be granted credit for more than five (5) years’ active duty in the military service, or out-of-state teaching experience as a certified teacher or its equivalent. Nothing in this section shall prohibit boards of education from crediting more years of experience on district salary schedules than those allowed for state purposes.
