        257.8  STATE PERCENT OF GROWTH -- ALLOWABLE GROWTH.
         1.  State percent of growth.  The state percent of growth for
      the budget year beginning July 1, 2009, is four percent.  The state
      percent of growth for the budget year beginning July 1, 2010, is two
      percent.  The state percent of growth for each subsequent budget year
      shall be established by statute which shall be enacted within thirty
      days of the submission in the year preceding the base year of the
      governor's budget under section 8.21.  The establishment of the state
      percent of growth for a budget year shall be the only subject matter
      of the bill which enacts the state percent of growth for a budget
      year.
         2.  Categorical state percent of growth.  The categorical
      state percent of growth for the budget year beginning July 1, 2010,
      is two percent.  The categorical state percent of growth for each
      budget year shall be established by statute which shall be enacted
      within thirty days of the submission in the year preceding the base
      year of the governor's budget under section 8.21.  The establishment
      of the categorical state percent of growth for a budget year shall be
      the only subject matter of the bill which enacts the categorical
      state percent of growth for a budget year.  The categorical state
      percent of growth may include state percents of growth for the
      teacher salary supplement, the professional development supplement,
      and the early intervention supplement.
         3.  Allowable growth calculation.  The department of
      management shall calculate the regular program allowable growth for a
      budget year by multiplying the state percent of growth for the budget
      year by the regular program state cost per pupil for the base year
      and shall calculate the special education support services allowable
      growth for the budget year by multiplying the state percent of growth
      for the budget year by the special education support services state
      cost per pupil for the base year.
         4.  Alternate allowable growth -- gifted and talented
      programs.  Notwithstanding the calculation in subsection 3, the
      department of management shall calculate the regular program
      allowable growth for the budget year beginning July 1, 1999, by
      multiplying the state percent of growth for the budget year by the
      regular program state cost per pupil for the base year, and add to
      the resulting product thirty-eight dollars.  For purposes of
      determining the amount of a budget adjustment as defined in section
      257.14, for a school district which calculated allowable growth for
      the budget year beginning July 1, 1999, pursuant to this subsection,
      thirty-eight dollars shall be subtracted from the school district's
      regular program cost per pupil for the budget year beginning July 1,
      1999, prior to determining the amount of the adjustment.
         5.  Alternate allowable growth -- regular program state cost.
      A school district which calculated allowable growth for the budget
      year beginning July 1, 1999, pursuant to the provisions of subsection
      4, shall calculate allowable growth pursuant to the provisions of
      subsection 3 for the school budget year beginning July 1, 2000, and
      succeeding budget years, utilizing a regular program state cost per
      pupil figure which incorporates the thirty-eight dollar increase in
      regular program allowable growth calculated for the budget year
      beginning July 1, 1999.
         6.  Combined allowable growth.  The combined allowable growth
      per pupil for each school district is the sum of the regular program
      allowable growth per pupil and the special education support services
      allowable growth per pupil for the budget year, which may be modified
      as follows:
         a.  By the school budget review committee under section
      257.31.
         b.  By the department of management under section 257.36.
         7.  Alternate allowable growth -- definitions.  For budget
      years beginning July 1, 2000, and subsequent budget years, references
      to the terms "allowable growth", "regular program state cost
      per pupil", and "regular program district cost per pupil" shall
      mean those terms as calculated for those school districts that
      calculated regular program allowable growth for the school budget
      year beginning July 1, 1999, with the additional thirty-eight
      dollars.
