If the teacher profile of a district falls above that average, it will receive extra revenue to compensate for the seniority of it's staff. The average seniority statewide will change each year therefore the compensation amount will also change. The economic Analysis Division of the State determines the cost of living in each Wyoming town. The MAP report then looked at three communities as prototypes from which to determine a basic cost of living factor. The basic figures include the cost of housing but not rental cost in any community.
All districts then stand to gain or lose revenue depending on how they compare to the prototype.
Revenues generated yearly will be calculated on a rolling average of the six consecutive quarter-annual index reports completed by January of the applicable year. Hold Harmless Over the next two years, each district will be held harmless. This hold harmless provision is valid for the next two years. After that, each district will receive only those dollars that are accrued using the MAP report formulas. In addition to the revenue generated through the MAP, a separate Senate bill dealt with school buildings and facilities-maintenance issues.
