956	956	As set out in Sections 16-47-77 through 16-47-81, Code of Alabama 1975. Funds shall be used for
957	957	forgivable loans to dental students who agree to reside and practice in counties where there is
958	958	a shortage of dentists. To determine the counties with a shortage of dentists the Board of
959	959	Dental Scholarship Awards shall annually calculate by county a dentist shortage index, pursuant
960	960	to Section 16-47-81, Code of Alabama 1975, by dividing the population of the county by the per
961	961	capita number of recommended dentists. In addition to the dentist shortage index, the Board
962	962	shall give preference to dentists that reside in a county with a dentist shortage, and shall
963	963	consider the percentage of dentists in a county that are over the age of 65, the probability of
964	964	economic success and the proximity of a county to a major metropolitan area in determining the
965	965	counties eligible for the loan recipient. Annually the Board shall compile a list of ten
966	966	counties for the loan recipient to choose from to practice. The recipient must spend an average
967	967	of 20 hours a week on an annual basis practicing direct patient care in the designated county
968	968	for a minimum of 5 years to qualify for forgiveness of the loan. The Board shall file a report

1490	1490	Upon certification and approval by the Deputy State Superintendent of the Office of
1491	1491	Administrative and Financial Services that any newly formed city school system is an
1492	1492	operational public school system within the State of Alabama, the Department shall
1493	1493	ensure that any Foundation Program funds or other state funds allocated to the
1494	1494	parent county board of education of the newly formed city school system for students
1495	1495	that attended and were counted in the Average Daily Membership of the parent county
1496	1496	board of education and now will attend the newly formed city school system shall be
1497	1497	transferred to the newly formed city school system for operational expenses. The
1498	1498	above appropriation shall be distributed by the State Board of Education in
1499	1499	accordance with the provisions of Sections 16-13-230 through 16-13-239, Code of
1500	1500	Alabama 1975, and all other laws and regulations of the State Board of Education
1501	1501	relating to the expenditure of such funds. These funds shall be used to provide a
1502	1502	minimum school term of 180 full instructional days, or the hourly equivalent
1503	1503	thereof, and for equitable educational opportunities in the public schools of the
1504	1504	State. It is the intent of the Legislature that funds appropriated from the
1505	1505	Education Trust Fund shall not be used to pay membership dues to any
1506	1506	organization/association. Foundation Program calculations for FY 2023-2024 are based
1507	1507	on the funding divisors set forth below. Units earned under the Foundation Program
1508	1508	shall be employed as regular classroom teachers and assigned by the local board of
1509	1509	education. The divisors listed below shall not serve to prescribe pupil-teacher
1510	1510	ratios. It is the intent of the Legislature that local boards of education have
1511	1511	flexibility in determining where reductions are made. Any reductions made using
1512	1512	flexibility of state units must comply with federal comparability and supplanting
1513	1513	guidelines. Each district will submit an application for approval by the State
1514	1514	Superintendent as to the unit allocation adjustments requested.
