AI Summary

This bill amends the Education Code to increase the minimum salary for classroom teachers employed by public schools in Texas. For the 2017-2018 school year, the minimum monthly salary for a classroom teacher must be at least the sum of their previous year's salary plus an additional $400. Additionally, the bill entitles classroom teachers to a salary at least equal to what they received in the 2017-2018 school year as long as they remain employed by the same school district. The bill also provides additional state funding to school districts based on the number of full-time teachers and other district employees.
