An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in professional employees, further providing for minimum salaries for teachers.
This bill requires Pennsylvania school districts to set the same starting salary for teachers who hold the same certification, grade span, and class and step for the 2025-2026 school year and all future years. By mandating uniform starting pay across districts for equivalent positions, the legislation aims to standardize compensation for new educators statewide. The law applies to all public school districts and takes effect 60 days after passage.
