Bill > HB0002

This bill primarily addresses public education budget amendments for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, making several key changes to funding, reporting requirements, and educational programs. The bill increases educator salary adjustments, with full-time educators potentially receiving between $5,175 and $10,350 depending on certain scholarship program conditions. It introduces a new one-time Education Support Professional Supplemental Stipend of $1,000 for qualifying support staff in schools. The bill also modifies reporting requirements for the Education Interim Committee, adjusts local levy guarantee mechanisms, and makes changes to various educational funding streams, including revising allocations for career and technical education programs. Additionally, the bill repeals several existing education-related programs and creates new funding mechanisms, such as adjusting how the Minimum Basic Growth Account is distributed. The legislation aims to provide more stable and flexible funding for public education, support educators and support staff, and streamline educational program reporting and oversight.
