" (1) The Legislature has provided additional funding to allow each teacher to receive on average an annual compensation increase of $2,000. It is the intent of the Legislature that School Boards, in their negotiations with teachers, may determine to allow a portion of these teacher compensation funds to be utilized for class size reduction, textbooks and school supplies, so long as teachers with five or less years in the classroom receive a minimum compensation increase of at least $1,500. The package also includes a 4% increase in funds for nonteacher personnel and associated school costs. "
