Establishes minimum teacher's salaries and provides grant moneys to assist school districts with increasing teacher salaries

This bill establishes a schedule of minimum base salaries for public school teachers in Missouri, with amounts increasing annually from 2006 through 2028 before settling at a final figure for 2025 and beyond. It creates a dedicated state grant fund to help school districts afford these raises, allowing districts to apply for money specifically to reach the new salary floors. The law also mandates that salary data be made public and defines "salary" to exclude extra duty pay, while ensuring that part-time teachers receive a proportional share of the minimum rates. A key provision is that the funding mechanism and the grant program itself are set to expire on December 31, 2028.
