(b) Six hundred dollars shall be paid annually to each
classroom teacher who has at least twenty years of teaching
experience. The payments: (i) Shall be in addition to any
amounts prescribed in the applicable state minimum salary
schedule; (ii) shall be paid in equal monthly installments; and
(iii) shall be considered a part of the state minimum salaries
for teachers.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to increase the state
minimum salary increments for professional educators by adding an
additional 6 years to each section of the schedule from AB to
Doctorate. Each step would increase salaries by $465 in each
category.
Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken
from the present law, and underscoring indicates new language
that would be added.
