Bill Summary

AN ACT To enact R.S. 17:418.1 and 3996(B)(89), relative to the compensation of teachers and other school employees; to require public school systems to provide a salary increase to certain personnel; to provide relative to the amount of the increase; to provide relative to retirement costs; to provide for a funding mechanism; to provide for object and function codes for personnel salary increases; to provide for compliance; to provide for payments to personnel who are on an approved leave of absence; to provide for definitions; to provide for effectiveness; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill requires public school systems in Louisiana to provide a permanent salary increase of at least $2,000 for certificated personnel (such as teachers, therapists, and administrators) and at least $1,000 for non-certificated personnel (such as aides, support staff, and other employees). The increases and associated retirement costs will be funded by the net savings realized by the school systems from the state's payment of certain unfunded liabilities of the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana. The bill also provides that the salary increases cannot be used to supplant or offset any existing salaries or supplements, and that any excess savings must be used for specific purposes like employing personnel in critical shortage areas or funding early childhood education programs. The bill will only take effect if a proposed constitutional amendment related to the Teachers' Retirement System is adopted.
