Summary of the Introduced Bill

HB 2181 -- Teacher Salaries

Sponsor:  Cunningham (86)

This bill allows school districts to provide teacher salary
schedules based on a teacher's qualifications in addition to the
years of experience and academic degrees, as long as the schedule
applies equitably to all teachers who are similarly qualified.
School districts may provide hiring incentives or salary schedule
modifications to attract and retain teachers based on experience
or credentials that are exceptionally well suited to a district's
needs for academic improvement.  Teachers may be required to
teach in the district for up to three years in return for the
incentive, and districts have the authority on whether or not to
provide the incentives.
