Regards the minimum teacher salary schedule

HB 711 updates Ohio's minimum teacher salary schedule by expanding how "years of service" are calculated to include teaching in chartered nonpublic schools, state-operated schools, and up to five years of active military service (with partial years of eight months counting as full years). It establishes a base minimum salary of $35,000, with higher salaries determined by years of service and academic training level, requiring school districts and educational service centers to follow this schedule. The bill mandates that teachers be placed in the correct salary bracket without district restrictions and allows complaints to the director of education and workforce for enforcement. This directly affects Ohio public school teachers and school districts by setting enforceable salary minimums based on expanded service definitions.
