Bill > HB2565

This bill requires that employees of the Kansas State School for the Blind and the Kansas State School for the Deaf, specifically teachers and licensed personnel (which includes roles like librarians, counselors, and nurses who are paid on a teacher salary schedule), be compensated at the same rate as teachers with comparable education and experience employed by USD 233, Olathe, in the current school year. This change aims to ensure that these specialized state schools' employees receive pay that is at least equivalent to what is paid to teachers in a specific unified school district, thereby potentially improving recruitment and retention by aligning their salaries with a comparable public school district.
