School employee salary supplement; provide for occupational therapists, behavior analysts and school psychologists.
SB 2150 would require Mississippi public school districts to pay licensed occupational therapists, behavior analysts, and certified school psychologists an annual $6,000 salary supplement plus additional benefits on top of their regular compensation. This applies to these specific professionals working as school employees (not administrators) in public schools. The bill amends existing salary laws to add this mandatory supplement for these licensed roles, building on similar provisions for other specialized staff like National Board-certified teachers. It directly affects school districts and these three categories of licensed school support staff across Mississippi. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
