Speaker of the House of Representatives that shows how the district
expended that part of the funds provided in Specific Appropriations 78
through 84 for 2000-2001 that is greater than the amount provided from
the same specific appropriations for 1999-2000. The report shall be
submitted in two parts. An interim report shall be submitted by December
1, 2000, and a final report shall be submitted by March 1, 2001.

The Department of Education shall develop a uniform report format that
identifies expenditures for all new state and local revenues, including
General Revenue, lottery, Principal State School Trust funds, and all
local sources. The report shall identify 2000-2001 expenditures for
salary improvements and applicable bonuses for administrators,

instructional and support staff. The data for salaries shall include, at
a minimum, the average salary increase, the percentage salary increase
and the average annual salary for district administrators, school
administrators, classroom teachers, other instructional personnel and
support staff for the 2000-2001 fiscal year. The report shall also
itemize, by percentage, expenditures for administrative support and
instructional support and shall compare these rates with the 1999-2000
expenditures.

Line item amendments are accepted as part of the amendatory process. However, due to the necessity of using computerized systems this may entail a different placement within a budget entity or the renumbering of the specific appropriation items.
