Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires a school board to pay a full-time teacher an annual salary in
each school year that is not less than the annual salary paid to a state legislator for
that school year (base salary). In addition, if a teacher has worked as a teacher for
at least 10 school years, the bill requires a school board to pay the teacher an annual
salary that is not less than the base salary for the school year plus $15,000. Finally,
if a teacher has worked as a teacher for at least 20 school years, the bill requires a
school board to pay the teacher an annual salary that is not less than $100,000.
