(1) developed a state board approved pay to performance program for school administrators; and
(2) achieved the agreed upon goals as described under IC 20-28-8.5-2 for the school year ending in the immediately preceding calendar year, as determined by the department;
the school corporation is entitled to a pay to performance incentive grant.
Sec. 2. The amount of the pay to performance incentive grant to which a school corporation is entitled under section 1 of this chapter in a calendar year is equal to:
(1) the basic tuition support determined under IC 20-43-6-3 for the school corporation for that calendar year; multiplied by
(2) twenty-five ten-thousandths (0.0025).

tuition support receivable by the school corporation after the
