AI Summary

This bill establishes a mandatory pay scale for educators responsible for providing education to school-aged children who are incarcerated in county houses of correction or institutions under the control of the Departments of Mental Health, Developmental Services, Public Health, or Youth Services. The pay scale sets minimum salaries based on the educator's years of experience and education level, ranging from $51,215 for a first-year bachelor's degree holder to $97,587 for an educator with a doctorate and 16 or more years of experience. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Youth Services to cover the difference between the educator's current salary and the salary owed under the new pay scale, rather than charging it back to the city, town, or school district.
