HF 2049 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act providing for supplementary weighting for school districts that share career and technical education instructors.

This bill adds career and technical education (CTE) instructors to the list of shared positions eligible for supplementary state funding. School districts that share CTE instructors (defined as licensed teachers with specific endorsements for grades 5-12 in fields like agriculture or IT) with other districts or political subdivisions for at least 20% of the school year will receive an additional two "pupil" weightings per shared position. This funding increase aims to support student programming by redirecting resources to districts sharing these instructional staff. The change applies to all qualifying CTE instructor positions, regardless of whether the shared functions are identical across entities.
