STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                                                     RS27949 / S1409
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Office of the State Board of Education. It appropriates a
total of $15,874,900 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 53.25.
For benefit costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per
eligible FTP and temporarily removes funding for the employer's sick leave contribution rate. Inflationary
adjustments include $5,700 for general inflation for technology services and contractual inflation for statutory
memberships. For statewide cost allocation, a decrease of $98,300 is provided. The bill also provides
funding for the equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees, with an
additional 2% increase for those in the 20 job classifications most in need of equity adjustments.
The bill funds three line items, which provide: $330,000 to process lease payments from the Idaho National
Laboratory; $120,000 to receive increased grant moneys from the Lumina Foundation; and a transfer of 18.00
FTP and $2,714,800 to centralize IT and data management from the Department of Education to the Office
of the State Board of Education. Also included are adjustments to pay the Office of Information Technology
Services for security software and data center office space located at the Chinden Campus. Lastly, the ongoing
General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
