Educators without a valid license will not be considered in the FTE for the payment. A license must be current as of December 1 of the school year in which the employee is reported to be valid for purposes of the quality educator payment calculation for the following fiscal year.
The OPI will provide an opportunity for district officials to review the FTE information submitted in TEAMS. Changes to FTE reporting used for the quality educator payment calculation will not be accepted after December 31 except in cases of significant reporting error, as determined by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
By December 31 of the school fiscal year following the year of attendance, the district of residence shall pay at least one-half of any tuition and transportation obligation established under subsection (5)(a)(i) out of the money realized to date from the district tuition or transportation fund levy. The remaining tuition and transportation obligation must be paid by June 15 of the school fiscal year following the year of attendance.
