Bill > HB230

This bill repeals the limit on the number of years of out-of-state school experience that may be substituted for in-state experience in teacher salary scales. It also allows retired teachers who possessed a valid Alaska teacher certificate upon retirement to serve as long-term substitute teachers for up to 165 consecutive days in a school term. Additionally, the bill establishes a $5,000 annual incentive payment for teachers who hold a current and valid national board certification, and requires districts or the state department to reimburse teachers for the costs they incur in pursuing or renewing their national board certification. These provisions apply to contracts or collective bargaining agreements that become legally binding on or after the effective date of the respective sections of the bill.
