What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, the Department of Public Instruction must pay a $7,000 bonus

to any teacher who has been licensed by DPI and employed by a school board

continuously for five school years. Under the bill, the first school year counted for

the longevity bonus payments is the 2022-23 school year, such that DPI will begin

making bonus payments in the 2027-28 school year. Teachers are eligible for

additional bonus payments for subsequent five-year periods that do not overlap.

The bonus is not considered earnings for the purposes of the Wisconsin Retirement

System.
