The new legislation created two separate requirements for the use of the general fund increase in FY2017. Districts must comply with both of the below requirements.. 1. A district must expend at least 85% of the increase in general state aid need on teacher salaries and benefits (see cell E31) AND 2. A district must increase the district average teacher salary and benefits in FY2017 by at least 85% of the total percentage increase (see cell E34). A district that fails to comply with these requirements will have its FY2018 state aid to general education funding decreased by an amount equal to fifty percent of the new money. However, the law created a School Finance Accountabiliy board that can recommend waivers for school districts with good documentation of a just cause for failing to the meet the requirements.
