On and after July 1, 2023, the district administrative staff index shall be multiplied by the base salary of forty-three thousand one hundred fifty-one dollars ($43,151). The amount so determined shall be multiplied by the district staff allowance for administrative staff determined as provided in section 33-1004(4), Idaho Code. The resulting amount is the district’s salary-based apportionment for administrative staff.
(7)  On and after July 1, 2023, to determine the apportionment for classified staff, multiply thirty-eight thousand eight hundred two dollars ($38,802) by the district classified staff allowance determined as provided in section 33-1004(5), Idaho Code.
