Relates to the appropriation to the Public Schools Educational Support Program's Division of Teachers for fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2021.

This is the FY 2022 original appropriation and FY 2021 supplemental appropriation bill for the Public Schools Educational Support Program's Division of Teachers. This division provides state and federal funding support for grades K-12 for instructional and pupil service staff salaries and benefits, and other programs specific to certificated instructors in Idaho's school districts and public charter schools. For FY 2021, the bill provides funding as a result of the Legislature approving H22aas that lifted the statutory cap for support unit growth for charter schools for one year. For FY 2022 the bill includes statutory-based adjustments including: full funding of $44.9 million of additional money for the career ladder; $1.7 million for master educator premiums; $408,100 for leadership premiums; and $379,500 for math and science requirements. This bill fully restores the reductions made by the Board of Examiner's on July 23, 2020.
