1479	1479	24 year beginning October 1, 2022. For "Fringe Benefits" the rate per day for two
1480	1480	25 personal days and five sick days (for units earned in the Foundation Program) shall
1481	1481	26 be $95. The Teachers' Retirement System employer rate shall be 12.59% of salaries

1483	1483	28 Employees' Health Insurance Program (PEEHIP) rate shall be $800 per month for each
1484	1484	29 full-time employee. As funds are appropriated, the appropriation herein shall

1486	1486	31 employee is absent.
1487	1487	For "Classroom Instructional Support," the uniform amounts used in determining the32
1488	1488	33 Foundation Program allowance for classroom instructional support shall be: (1)
1489	1489	34 textbooks or digital resources at $75.00 per pupil in average daily membership
1490	1490	35 during the first 20 scholastic days after Labor Day of the preceding school year;

1493	1493	38 professional development at $100.00 per unit earned in the Foundation Program; and
1494	1494	39 (5) library enhancement at $157.72 per unit earned in the Foundation Program. Funds
1495	1495	40 allocated for instructional support units to meet Advanced Education standards may
1496	1496	41 be used for principals, assistant principals, counselors, and librarians as
1497	1497	42 calculated by the State Department of Education and assigned to the schools where
1498	1498	43 such units are earned. An instructional support unit earned for a principal shall be
1499	1499	44 increased by .31 for elementary schools, .35 for middle schools, and .45 for
1500	1500	45 secondary schools and unit schools. An instructional support unit earned for an
