STUDY SCHOOL STAFF COMPENSATION

This memorial requests the Legislative Education Study Committee to examine compensation for non-teaching school staff (like bus drivers, custodians, and food service workers), statewide cost of living, and housing availability. It directs the committee to study potential solutions, including salary adjustments based on experience or staffing needs, and gather input from school districts, unions, and state agencies. The study must report findings to the legislature by October 31, 2026. This is a procedural request for analysis, not a policy change, and does not directly alter current wages or laws.
