Bill > HB1508

This bill proposes to amend Section 37-19-7 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to increase the minimum salary scale for teachers. Specifically, it introduces a new minimum salary schedule for the 2026-2027 school year and subsequent years, which effectively raises the base pay for teachers across different experience levels and license types. The bill also maintains existing provisions for salary supplements for teachers with National Board Certification, school nurses, counselors, speech-language pathologists, audiologists, academic language therapists, and athletic trainers, as well as provisions for mentor teachers and performance-based pay. The effective date for this act is July 1, 2026.
