(1)
(a) The
Superintendent shall annually determine a uniform amount as required in
Subsection
53F-2-506(4) by
April 15 to distribute to participating LEAs to support the program.
(b) The uniform amount described in
Subsection (1)(a) shall be the average statewide arts educator salary plus
benefits, which is equal to the quotient of:
(i) the total arts educator salary amount
plus benefits for arts educators statewide from the most recent school year;
divided by
(ii) the number of arts
educators participating in the program during the most recent school
year.
(c) Before
distributing the uniform amount described in this Subsection (1) to LEAs, the
Superintendent shall set aside an amount to distribute to endowed universities
as described in Section
R277-490-8.
(d) After setting aside the amount described
in Subsection (1)(c), if the funding available for distribution is less than
the amount needed to distribute the full uniform amount described in Subsection
(1)(b) for each participating arts educator, the Superintendent shall reduce
the uniform amount based on the available funds for distribution for the
upcoming school year.
(e) When
determining the amount per arts educator to be distributed to an LEA or
consortium, the Superintendent shall take into account the full-time or
part-time status of each arts educator to establish the LEA or consortium's
allocation of program funds.
(2) The Superintendent shall distribute the
lesser of the following to an LEA or consortium per arts educator:
(a) the uniform amount described in this
Subsection (1); or
(b) the actual
salary plus benefits for the applicable arts educator.
(3) As required in Subsection
53F-2-506(5), if
the uniform amount described in Subsection (1) provides less funding than the
cost of an LEA's arts educator's salary plus benefits, the LEA shall pay the
difference in the cost of the arts educator's salary plus benefits and the
uniform amount.
(4) If there are
funds available after the distribution described in this Section
R277-490-5, the Superintendent
may use the funds to:
(a) distribute funds to
an LEA or consortium for arts educator supplies and equipment as described in
