Bill > HB789

This bill aims to improve the salaries of public school employees in Maryland. It sets a minimum salary of $60,000 beginning July 1, 2026 for all public school employees, which include certificated professionals like teachers and certain non-certificated staff like nurses and JROTC instructors. Additionally, the bill establishes salary increases for "qualified educators" - those who provide direct instruction or services to students, excluding teachers. These increases include a $10,000 raise for educators who earn a National Board Certification or an approved alternative high-quality credential, and a $7,000 raise for those assigned to low-performing schools. The salary increases are subject to the implementation of a new education accountability system in the state.
