AI Summary

This bill addresses salary increases for school employees in Oklahoma, specifically targeting certified personnel and support employees for the 2025-2026 school year. For certified personnel, the bill increases the minimum salary schedule across all experience levels and degree types, with salary increases ranging from approximately $5,000 to $6,000 depending on years of experience and educational credentials. For support employees, the bill mandates a 6% wage increase over their base salary from the 2024-2025 school year, with the increase prorated based on hours worked for existing employees and a 6% increase for new employees compared to the previous year's starting salary for the same position. The salary increases are to be provided in addition to any existing compensation and benefits, unless an employee's hours or duties are reduced proportionately. The bill also specifies that these changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause to ensure immediate implementation. The legislation aims to provide meaningful financial support to school employees across various roles and experience levels in Oklahoma's public education system.
