Relating to: establishing minimum salaries for public school teachers. (FE)
SB 1051 establishes minimum annual salaries for full-time public school teachers based on experience. It requires school boards to pay teachers at least the state legislator's annual salary (as defined in the bill), plus $15,000 for those with 10+ years of service, and a flat $100,000 for those with 20+ years. These salary requirements cannot be altered by collective bargaining agreements. The bill applies when current teacher contracts expire or are renewed.
