(a) Commencing with the 2000-01 fiscal year, the county superintendent of schools or the county board of education may increase, for teachers meeting the requirements prescribed by this section, the salary on its adopted certificated employee salary schedule as provided in subdivision (b). For purposes of this section, a teacher for whom the county superintendent of schools or county board of education may increase salaries shall meet all of the following criteria:
(1) Hold a valid California teaching credential, not including an emergency permit, intern certificate or credential, or waiver.
(2) Possess a baccalaureate or higher degree.
(3) Receive a salary paid through the general fund of the county office.
(b) The county superintendent of schools or county board of education that increases its salaries pursuant to subdivision (a) shall perform the following computations:
(1) The county superintendent of schools or county board of education shall designate as the lowest salary on the salary schedule for a certificated employee meeting the criteria in subdivision (a) an amount that is at least an annual salary of thirty-four thousand dollars ($34,000) in the 2000-01 fiscal year.
(2) The county superintendent of schools or county board of education shall increase to the annual salary amount in paragraph (1) the salary of any certificated employee meeting the criteria in subdivision (a) whose salary on the salary schedule for the 1999-2000 fiscal year was less than the amount computed in paragraph (1) and, notwithstanding Section 45028, shall incorporate that increase into the salary schedule commencing with the 2000-01 fiscal year.

(1) Option One:
(A) In fiscal year 2000-01, a county superintendent of schools or county office of education that increases salaries pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) and selects reimbursement Option One shall receive an amount equal to six dollars ($6) times the county office's second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the 1999-2000 fiscal year, excluding attendance in adult education programs and charter schools participating in the charter school block grant pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of Division 4.
(B) Divide the amount received from the state pursuant to subparagraph (A) for the 2000-01 fiscal year by the county office of education's second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the 1999-2000 fiscal year, excluding attendance in adult education programs and charter schools participating in the charter school block grant pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of Division 4.
(C) For the 2001-02 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, for each county office of education that increases its salaries pursuant to subdivision (a), the Superintendent shall add the sum of clauses (i) and (ii) to the county office of education revenue limit computed pursuant to Section 2550:
(i) Annually increase the funding rate per unit of average daily attendance specified in subparagraph (B) by the percentage increase identified pursuant to Section 2557 and multiply the resulting product by the county office of education's second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the current fiscal year excluding attendance in regional occupational centers/programs, adult education programs, and charter schools participating in the charter school block grant pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of Division 4.
(ii) Annually increase the funding rate per unit of average daily attendance specified in subparagraph (B) by the percentage increase identified pursuant to Section 2557 and multiply the resulting product by the county office of education's second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the current fiscal year in regional occupational centers/programs excluding attendance in charter schools participating in the charter school block grant pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of Division 4.
(D) The county superintendent of schools or county office of education shall utilize these incentive funds not only to meet the new beginning teacher annual minimum salary of thirty-four thousand dollars ($34,000), but may also use the funds to generally enhance teachers' salaries in order to achieve the goals of retention of qualified, competent, and experienced teachers and the attainment of a reasonable salary commensurate with a teacher's experience, education, and responsibilities.
(2) Option Two: A county superintendent of schools or county office of education may submit a request to the Superintendent, on a form supplied by the Superintendent, for state funding computed as follows:

(B) Total all salaries, based on the salary schedule for the 2000-01 fiscal year before the increase made pursuant to subdivision (b), of all certificated employees receiving increased salaries pursuant to subdivision (b).
(C) Subtract the amount in subparagraph (B) from the amount in subparagraph (A).

(i) Annually increase the funding rate per unit of average daily attendance calculated pursuant to subparagraph (F) by the percentage increase identified pursuant to Section 2557 and multiply the resulting product by the county office of education's second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the current fiscal year excluding attendance in regional occupational centers/programs, adult education programs, and charter schools participating in the charter school block grant pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of Division 4.
(ii) Annually increase the funding rate per unit of average daily attendance calculated pursuant to subparagraph (F) by the percentage increase identified pursuant to Section 2557 and multiply the resulting product by the county office of education's second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the current fiscal year in regional occupational centers/programs excluding attendance in charter schools participating in the charter school block grant pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8 of Division 4.

(g) The adjustments to county office of education revenue limits prescribed in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) and subparagraph (G) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) shall continue so long as the increase in the salary schedule made pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) or subdivision (i) is maintained.
