Bill > H4180

This bill aims to establish minimum salaries for teachers and education support professionals in Massachusetts. It sets the minimum salary at $65,000 for teachers and $45,000 for education support professionals, starting in the 2024-2025 school year. The bill also provides for the state to reimburse school districts and educational collaboratives for the cost increases associated with these higher minimum salaries. The term "education support professional" is defined to include various non-teaching positions like paraeducators, tutors, and custodians. The bill also includes a provision to adjust the minimum salaries every five years based on the rate of inflation. The implementation of the bill must be consistent with the state's collective bargaining laws.
