Bill Summary

Relative to wages for substitute teachers. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a minimum wage for substitute teachers in public elementary and secondary schools in Massachusetts. Specifically, it requires that substitute teachers be paid either 85% of 1/185th of the salary of a beginning teacher with a bachelor's degree or the state's minimum wage, whichever is higher. The bill exempts substitute teachers who are represented by a bargaining unit in their school district. The key provisions are to ensure a baseline level of compensation for substitute teachers and to provide clarity on how their wages should be calculated.
