3489+36 underserved locations through

3492+39 will be co-located at a cen-

5971+6 coronavirus pandemic in Alabama public schools. The
5972+7 Superintendent shall periodically report to the Finance
5973+8 Director, Chairs of the Senate Finance and Taxation-Education
5974+9 Committee, the House Ways and Means-Education Committee, and
5975+10 the Legislative Fiscal Officer, regarding the planned and
5976+11 actual expenditures of these funds by the Local Education

5980+15 by the Congress of the United States to address the
5981+16 coronavirus pandemic in Alabama public schools to implement

5999+7 manner now provided by law.
6000+8 Section 7. Nothing in this act shall be construed to
6001+9 affect or repeal any law authorizing or permitting any
6002+10 college, school or other education or eleemosynary institution
6003+11 of the State to receive, collect or disburse any fees,
6004+12 tuitions, charges, sales, endowments, trusts or income
6005+13 therefrom, which are now or may hereafter be authorized to
6006+14 receive, collect or disburse. The receiving college, school or
6007+15 institution shall further maintain separate accounts for such
6008+16 receipts or shall maintain a system of accounting which will
6009+17 show a cash flow of such receipts received under the provision
6010+18 of this appropriation.
6011+19 Section 8. The appropriations made herein to the
6012+20 departments, boards, offices, commissions, and agencies
6013+21 include the amounts necessary and said departments, boards,
6014+22 offices, commissions, and agencies are hereby directed to make

6021+2 manner (as determined by the Department of Finance) for such
6022+3 services.
6023+4 Section 9. All encumbered balances of a previous
6024+5 fiscal year appropriation other than the exclusions authorized
6025+6 by the Code of Alabama 1975, Section 41-4-93, shall lapse no
6026+7 later than September 30 of the fiscal year immediately
6027+8 following the fiscal year for which the appropriation was made
6028+9 and shall revert to the credit of the Education Trust Fund or
6029+10 earmarked fund from which the appropriation or appropriations
6030+11 were made.
6031+12 Section 10. Upon certification to the Director of
6032+13 Finance by the State Attorney General that a federal court has
6033+14 ordered the State of Alabama to pay claims, attorney fees, or
6034+15 other costs relating to said court order, funds are hereby
6035+16 appropriated to the affected department, board, bureau, or
6036+17 commission in the amount necessary to satisfy that court
6037+18 order. Such appropriations are in addition to any other
6038+19 appropriation heretofore or hereafter made in this
6039+20 appropriation act. Such appropriations are conditioned upon
6040+21 the availability of funds and a determination by the Director
6041+22 of Finance that other current appropriations are not available
6042+23 for court-ordered payments.
6043+24 Section 11. Local boards of education may exercise

6047+Page 110 1 Section 12. The State Superintendent of Education
6048+2 may approve a request by a local board of education for
6049+3 redirecting Other Current Expense funds designated for
6050+4 pass-through calculations to their local Child Nutrition
6051+5 Program if the redirected funds do not prevent the Child
6052+6 Nutrition Program of that local board of education from
6053+7 maintaining a one-month fund balance.
6054+8 Section 13. The appropriations made herein to the
6055+9 departments, boards, offices, commissions and agencies include
6056+10 the amounts necessary to pay the State Employees' Insurance
6057+11 Board (SEIB). The SEIB rate shall be $930 per month for each
6058+12 full-time employee for the fiscal year ending September 30,
6059+13 2023. The State Employees' Insurance Board will adjust the
6060+14 insurance program wherever appropriate to maintain the
6061+15 aforementioned fixed rate.
6062+16 Section 14. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
6063+17 this act or any other act, any amount from appropriations for
6064+18 the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 to the various state
6065+19 agencies and institutions in this act, including
6066+20 appropriations from the Education Trust Fund, which are
6067+21 unexpended and reverted on September 30, 2022 are hereby
6068+22 reappropriated to the respective state agencies, offices and
6069+23 institutions for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2022.
6070+24 Section 15. (a) The At-Risk and High Hopes
6071+25 appropriations made to the State Department of Education shall
6072+26 be expended as follows: 50% shall be at the discretion of the
6073+27 State Superintendent of Education and 50% shall be awarded in
6074+Page 111 1 the form of grants to school systems/entities for activities
6075+2 or programs designed to enhance outcomes for At-Risk Students.
6076+3 At-Risk Students shall be defined as students who have not met
6077+4 proficiency standards for state accountability assessments and
6078+5 one or more of the following apply: the student attends a
6079+6 Title I school; qualifies for free or reduced lunch; qualifies
6080+7 for special education or Tier III intervention; or is an
6081+8 English language learner. In the awarding of grants,
6082+9 preference will be given to undertakings that will directly
6083+10 impact student achievement and improve performance on state
6084+11 assessments to include remediation for students, after-school
6085+12 and tutorial programs, career/technical programs, character
6086+13 education, enrichment activities, programs that enhance
6087+14 reading and mathematics abilities in students, activities that
6088+15 increase grade-to-grade promotion, career and college
6089+16 readiness and early warning and prevention programs. Programs
6090+17 must employ evidence-based practices and measure student
6091+18 growth and achievement using research-based norms and
6092+19 criterion. Funds should be awarded on a per-pupil basis, with
6093+20 no more than ten percent of the grant award going toward
6094+21 personnel costs.
6095+22 (b) In an effort to provide the best and most
6096+23 efficient implementation for intervention and innovation in
6097+24 schools, administration of the grant awards shall be assigned
6098+25 to the Alabama State Department of Education's Division of
6099+26 Administrative and Financial Support with evaluative input
6100+27 from other Alabama State Department of Education advisory
6101+Page 112 1 personnel, including the State Superintendent of Education, as
6102+2 appropriate. The grant application process must require
6103+3 districts to submit plans to the Alabama State Department of
6104+4 Education detailing their intended use of the grant funds with
6105+5 regard to student proficiency and growth. Grants may be
6106+6 awarded any time after July 1st so schools can prepare for the
6107+7 new school year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Alabama
6108+8 State Department of Education's Division of Administrative and
6109+9 Financial Support shall make every reasonable effort to notify
6110+10 grant recipients of awards by August 1, 2022. No funding will

6309-4 districts to submit plans to the Alabama State Department of
6310-5 Education detailing their intended use of the grant funds with

6315-10 Financial Support shall make every reasonable effort to notify
6316-11 grant recipients of awards by August 1, 2022. No funding will
