AI Summary
This bill proposes the following key changes:
1. For the 2023-2024 school year, it requires public school districts to pay classroom teachers, librarians, counselors, and nurses a monthly salary that is at least $1,500 more than what they would have received under the district's 2022-2023 salary schedule. It also requires districts to maintain the same salary for these employees as long as they remain in the same position and district.
2. It requires public school districts to provide a 25% wage increase for all full-time employees, excluding administrators and those subject to the minimum salary schedule, for the 2022-2023 school year. It also requires districts to maintain the same salary for these employees as long as they remain in the same position and district.
3. It provides additional state aid to public school districts to cover the costs of the required salary increases for non-administrative employees, and allows districts that must reduce their revenue to receive a credit for this state aid.
The bill applies starting in the 2023-2024 school year and takes effect on September 1, 2023.
