68 LAWS OF MARYLAND [CH. 59
In calculating the total amount of required prescribed salaries for
subdivisions which employ more professional staff members than
the allowed number, the number of allowed staff members shall be
multiplied by the average prescribed salary for the total number of
professional staff members employed. Further, in calculating the
total amount of required prescribed salaries for all subdivisions, no
adjustments shall be made for salary changes due to turnover in
allowed positions after October 31 of any school year, and no adjust-
ments shall be made for allowed staff members added or eliminated
after March 1 of any school year.
(4) Local Share. To be eligible to receive the State share of cur-
rent expenses, the board of county commissioners of each of the
several counties and the mayor and city council of Baltimore shall
levy an annual tax for public schools sufficient to prove an amount
equal to 1.228 per cent of the sum of adjusted assessed valuation of
real property and net taxable ordinary income for each of the
several counties and Baltimore City, exclusive of the amount levied
for debt service or capital outlay for public schools.
(5) Amount of State Share. The State share of current expenses
shall be the difference between the local share calculated in (4) and
the adjusted expenditure for current expenses as calculated in (1),
(2), and (3), all these references being to paragraphs in this sub-
section.
(6) Same. For each county and Baltimore City the following
calculations shall be made: $98 shall be multiplied by the number
of pupils enrolled on September 30 of the school year for which the
calculation is made, to which shall be added the adjustment for
increased enrollment as calculated in paragraph (2) of this sub-
section and from which shall be subtracted the product of $6,200
multiplied by one staff member for each 1,000 of the first 5,000
pupils or major portion thereof. To this figure shall be added or
subtracted the adjustment for minimum salaries and staffing level
as calculated in paragraph (3) of this sub-section. In the event that
the amount arrived at by this calculation exceeds the amount of the
State's share calculated in paragraph (5) of this sub-section, to such
county or Baltimore City, the State shall pay the larger amount.
The amounts of State aid provided under this section shall be in
addition to any amounts provided for elsewhere in this article.
(7) Minimum Amount To Be Spent for Other Current Expenses.
Neither a county board of education or the Board of Education of
Baltimore City may spend for other current expenses less than $61
for each pupil enrolled as of September 30 of the current year, plus
$30 for each additional pupil enrolled in excess of the number enrolled
on September 30 of the preceding year.
(8) Aid Received under Article 66½ Not To Be Duplicated. Aid
calculated under the provisions of this sub-section shall not duplicate
any aid received under the provisions of Section 90 of Article 66½.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1965.
Approved March 11, 1965.
