  1  for the persons nominated to fill such positions.

  2         2.  The district school board may reject for good cause

  3  any employee nominated.

  4         3.  If the third nomination by the district school

  5  superintendent for any position is rejected for good cause, if

  6  the district school superintendent fails to submit a

  7  nomination for initial employment within a reasonable time as

  8  prescribed by the district school board, or if the district

  9  school superintendent fails to submit a nomination for

10  reemployment within the time prescribed by law, the district

11  school board may proceed on its own motion to fill such

12  position.

13         4.  The district school board's decision to reject a

14  person's nomination does not give that person a right of

15  action to sue over the rejection and may not be used as a

16  cause of action by the nominated employee.

17         (b)  Time to act on nominations.--The district school

18  board shall act not later than 3 weeks after the end of the

19  regular legislative session or May 31, whichever is later, on

26  for improvement in training and for continued efficient

27  service to be used as a basis for paying all school employees

28  and fix and authorize the compensation of school employees on

29  the basis thereof.

30         2.  A district school board, in determining the salary

                                                   HOUSE AMENDMENT

    791-112AX-38                                  Bill No. HB 2017

    Amendment No. 3 (for drafter's use only)





  1  each employee's compensation on performance demonstrated under

  2  s. 1012.34, must consider the prior teaching experience of a

  3  person who has been designated state teacher of the year by

  4  any state in the United States, and must consider prior

  5  professional experience in the field of education gained in

  6  positions in addition to district level instructional and

  7  administrative positions.

  8         3.  In developing the salary schedule, the district

  9  school board shall seek input from parents, teachers, and

10  representatives of the business community.

11         4.  By June 30, 2003, the adopted district school board

12  budget must include a reserve to fully fund an additional 5

13  percent supplement for school administrators and instructional

14  personnel. The district's performance-pay policy is subject to

15  negotiation as provided in chapter 447; however, the adopted

16  salary schedule must allow school administrators and

17  instructional personnel who demonstrate outstanding

18  performance, as measured under s. 1012.34, to earn a 5 percent

19  supplement in addition to their individual, negotiated salary.

20  The supplements shall be funded from the reserve funds adopted

21  in the salary schedule. The Commissioner of Education shall

22  determine whether the district school board's adopted salary

23  schedule complies with the requirement for performance-based

24  pay. If the district school board fails to comply with this

25  section, the commissioner shall withhold disbursements from

26  the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund to the district until

27  compliance is verified.
