(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
