AI Summary

This bill aims to establish parity for educators who provide education to school-aged children incarcerated in county houses of correction or institutions under the control of various state departments, such as the Departments of Mental Health, Developmental Services, Public Health, or Youth Services. The bill sets a mandatory pay scale for these educators, ensuring they are paid at or above the specified levels based on their years of experience and education level. Additionally, the bill states that any difference between the educator's current salary and the new mandatory pay scale will be borne by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Department of Youth Services, rather than being charged back to the city, town, or school district.
