What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires a school board to pay a full-time teacher an annual salary in

each school year that is not less than the annual salary paid to a state legislator for

that school year (base salary). In addition, if a teacher has worked as a teacher for

at least 10 school years and has obtained a master's degree in a related field, the bill

requires a school board to pay the teacher an annual salary that is not less than the

base salary for the school year plus $15,000. Finally, if a teacher has worked as a

teacher for at least 20 school years and has obtained a master's degree in a related

field, the bill requires a school board to pay the teacher an annual salary that is not

less than $100,000.
