Bill Summary

To establish a minimum starting salary for teachers and paraeducators employed in public schools.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 166 of the general statutes to establish minimum starting salaries for educators working in public schools. Specifically, the bill mandates that teachers must be paid a minimum starting salary of $60,000, while paraeducators (classroom support staff who work alongside teachers) must receive a minimum starting salary of $45,000. The goal of this legislation is to create a baseline wage standard for educational professionals, which could potentially help attract and retain talent in the public school system by providing more competitive initial compensation. By setting these minimum salary thresholds, the bill aims to provide some financial stability and recognition for the important work done by teachers and support staff in public schools.
