AI Summary
This bill requires that librarians in Oklahoma public schools who hold a Master's degree must be paid at least five percent more than the prevailing wage for other certified personnel with Master's degrees within the same school district, in addition to the minimum salary requirements already established for certified personnel. The term "certified personnel" refers to individuals who hold a valid teaching certificate or license, and "prevailing wage" in this context means the average salary paid to those individuals. This provision aims to increase compensation for librarians with advanced degrees, recognizing their specialized qualifications. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026, for these new requirements.
