11 g, i, and l of subdivision 2 of section 4401 of the education law to
12 help prevent excessive instructional staff turnover through a

15 of education shall develop an allocation plan, subject to the
16 approval of the director of the budget, that distributes funds
17 appropriated herein among eligible schools, as defined herein, that
18 qualify based on the following criteria: eligible schools are those
19 that have complied with all applicable requirements for previous
20 grants for this purpose and whose average teacher salary are below
21 the salary provided for similarly qualified teachers in public
22 schools in the region in which such eligible school is located. The
23 allocation to each qualifying school shall be calculated based on
24 the number of weighted full time equivalent (FTE) staff, as defined
25 herein, in the per FTE award amount. The total number of weighted
26 FTE shall be determined by multiplying the actual number of FTE
27 teachers providing classroom instruction at each school, as deter-
28 mined by the commissioner, by: 1) a factor of 2.0 for those schools
29 where average salaries that are 50 percent or less of those in
30 public school located in the same geographic region; 2) a factor of
31 1.5 for those schools where average salaries that are 50 percent and
32 75 percent of public schools located in the same geographic region;
33 or 3) a factor of 1.0 for those schools where the average salaries
34 that are 75-100 percent of public schools located in the same
35 geographic region. The per FTE teacher award amount shall be calcu-
36 lated by dividing the $2,000,000 by the total number of weighted FTE
37 staff; (ii) $2,000,000 shall be available for payments to schools
38 providing special services or programs as defined in paragraphs e,
39 g, i, and l of subdivision 2 of section 4401 of the education law
40 and approved preschool programs in accordance with section 4410 of
41 the education law to help prevent excessive instructional staff
42 turnover through a targeted adjustment of compensation for teachers
43 providing direct instructional services to students at such schools.
44 The commissioner of education shall develop an allocation plan,
45 subject to the approval of the director of the budget, that distrib-
46 utes funds appropriated herein among eligible schools; (iii) up to
47 $10,000,000 shall be available for allowances to schools for the
48 blind and deaf to support services to students attending these
49 schools for costs which otherwise would be payable through the
50 department's general fund aid to localities appropriation, provided
51 further that notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, any
52 disbursements against this $10,000,000 shall immediately reduce the
53 amounts appropriated in the education department's general fund aid
54 to localities for allowances to private schools for the blind and
55 deaf by an equivalent amount, and the portion of such general fund
56 appropriation so affected shall have no further force or effect.
