Bill > SCR1032

This resolution, enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona, mandates increased teacher salaries and outlines reporting requirements for schools. Specifically, it amends existing statutes to require charter schools and school districts to report the average teacher salary, the increase in average salary, and the salary schedule for eligible teachers. A new section establishes a "teacher pay fund" that will be used to increase the base salary of eligible teachers, defined as those employed full-time or with a full class load who spend a significant portion of their time on direct instruction or supporting student achievement, and who are not administrators or have not received low performance evaluations. The funding for these salary increases is contingent on voter approval of increased distributions from the state land trust permanent funds. The resolution also details the process for estimating and distributing these funds, requiring schools to report on how the money is spent and establishing compliance mechanisms to ensure the funds are used for their intended purpose.
