Section 16-13-234.1

Funding salary increases mandated by Legislature.

(a) Any local board of education receiving a hold harmless allowance as provided for in Section 16-13-234, may use part or all of the funds received by the local board from the Public School Fund for capital outlay allowance to pay the costs of any salary increase mandated by the Legislature, including the costs of fringe benefits, not covered by an adjustment to the hold harmless allowance.

(b) Prior to using its capital outlay allowance for salary increases mandated by the Legislature, including the costs of fringe benefits, the local board of education, by a majority vote, must adopt a resolution transferring the capital outlay allowance to the general fund of the local board and earmark the funds for salary increases and associated fringe benefits. The local board of education must also submit a copy of the resolution to the State Superintendent of Education.
