Key Benefits:
The tests selected by the State Board of Education for purposes of the experimental programs in mathematics shall be provided and distributed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction free of charge, as needed, to school districts participating in the programs.
(Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
Beginning with the 1968–1969 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, a school district which maintains elementary grades and participates in the mathematics specialist program may apply for an allowance for the employment of mathematics specialist teachers. Application shall be made in accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the Superintendent of Public Instruction on forms that he shall furnish. No allowance for a mathematics specialist program shall be made to a school district unless the Superintendent of Public Instruction approves the district application and certifies that standards, requirements and criteria of the State Board of Education are met by the district.
(Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
Allowances for the mathematics specialist program shall be made by the Superintendent of Public Instruction from funds appropriated therefor by the Legislature. The allowances shall be made as early as practicable in the fiscal year.
(Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
Allowances for the mathematics specialist program shall be made by the Superintendent of Public Instruction in accordance with a system of priorities that he shall by rule and regulation adopt, designed to carry out the intent and purpose of the Legislature stated in Section 54300. As a basis for such system of priorities, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, upon receipt of all applications for a fiscal year, shall determine and use the relative financial ability of each applicant district as measured by the assessed valuation per unit of average daily attendance in the district. The Superintendent of Public Instruction may use additional factors as a basis for a system of priorities as long as such factors are not in conflict with the intent and purpose of the Legislature.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall make no allowances in any year in excess of the amount appropriated by the Legislature for the purposes of this chapter.
(Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall allow to each district eligible to receive an allowance for the mathematics specialist program an amount equal to the total of salaries to be paid mathematics specialists employed by the district, diminished by the product of the ratio which the assessed valuation per unit of average daily attendance during the preceding fiscal year in kindergarten and grades 1 through 8, inclusive, in the district bears to the assessed valuation per unit of such average daily attendance in the state and one-half of the total of salaries to be paid mathematics specialists employed in the district.
(Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
From funds appropriated therefor by the Legislature, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall pay the costs of the regional in-service training programs for specialized teachers in mathematics including the salaries of persons employed to provide instruction and training. From such funds teachers in attendance shall be reimbursed for living and traveling expenses necessarily incurred for such purposes, and shall be paid a nominal stipend. All expenses incurred for training of the supervisors or administrators, or both, shall be borne by the districts.
(Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
From funds which may be appropriated therefor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall reimburse school districts for the expenses incurred, pursuant to contractual arrangement, in securing the participation and cooperation of colleges and universities in providing the accelerated instructional program in mathematics in grades 7 to 12, inclusive.
(Enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010.)
The State Board of Education and the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall take all necessary actions and steps to ensure that all federal funds which may be made available for any of the experimental pilot programs provided for under Article 2 (commencing with Section 54340) shall be received and utilized for those purposes.
(Amended by Stats. 1981, Ch. 714, Sec. 98.)
