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 and has obtained a master's degree in a related field, 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 and has obtained a master's degree in a related
field, the bill requires a school board to pay the teacher an annual salary that is not
less than $100,000.
For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
