(1) Twice the number of multiple subjects teachers teaching in a
self-contained classroom and special education teachers, as specified
in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 99233, that
provide direct instruction in mathematics or reading as reported in
the most recent available CBEDS data, who have not received training
pursuant to either this article or Article 2 (commencing with Section
99220).

science teachers, as specified in paragraphs (3) to (6), inclusive,
of subdivision (a) of Section 99233 that were reported in the most
recent available CBEDS data, who have not received training pursuant
to either this article or Article 2 (commencing with Section 99220).
(e) The Superintendent shall allocate funding appropriated for the
purposes of this article in the following order of priority:
(1) Two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for each qualifying
teacher who was provided training pursuant to subdivision (a) in the
prior year for whom the local educational agency did not receive
funding due to insufficient availability of funds in the prior fiscal
year.
(2) Two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for each qualifying
teacher who was provided training pursuant to this article, subject
to the limitations in subdivision (d).
(3) Two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for each qualifying
teacher who was provided training pursuant to this article in excess
of limitations in subdivision (d).
(f) Funding may not be provided to a local educational agency
until the state board approves the certified assurance of the agency
submitted pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 99237.
(g) Of the funding a local educational agency is eligible to
receive pursuant to this section for each eligible teacher, 50
percent shall be awarded following the provision of 40 hours of
professional development based on the statewide academic content
standards adopted pursuant to Section 60605, the Mathematics and
Reading/English Language Arts frameworks adopted by the State Board
of Education, and instructional materials adopted by the state board
or standards-aligned instructional materials, as specified in
subdivision (b) of Section 99237, with the remaining funding to be
awarded following certification of the provision of the 80 hours of
followup instruction as specified in subdivision (b) of Section
99237. The 80 hours of training may be completed over a two-year
period.
(h) A local educational agency may not receive funds pursuant to
this article for teachers who receive training pursuant to Article 2
(commencing with Section 99220) using funding provided pursuant to
that article.

99235. (a) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall notify
local educational agencies that they are eligible to receive funding
to provide instructional aides and paraprofessionals who directly
assist with classroom instruction in mathematics or reading with
professional development training in mathematics or reading, in an
amount equal to one thousand dollars ($1,000) per qualifying
instructional aide. Funding will be provided to local educational
agencies on a first-come-first-served basis. A local educational
agency that chooses to participate in the program is eligible to
receive funding for no greater than the percentage calculated in
accordance with provisions of an item of appropriation in the annual
Budget Act for its instructional aides and paraprofessionals.
However, the statewide total number of instructional aides and
paraprofessionals who directly assist with classroom instruction in
mathematics and reading served under this program may not exceed
9,600 over two consecutive fiscal years.
(b) Of the incentive provided pursuant to subdivision (a), a local
educational agency may not use more than five hundred dollars ($500)
of the amount per instructional aide or paraprofessional who
directly assists with classroom instruction in mathematics or reading
to provide an individual instructional aide stipend.

99236. The State Board of Education shall authorize the
Superintendent of Public Instruction to design, and the board shall
approve, regulations for the implementation and monitoring of the
