Public Act . . . . . . . . . 104-0795
Summary
The bill amends the School Code so that, beginning July 1, 2026, public school districts and similar employers can give salary advancement to licensed classroom teachers who finish graduate‑level, degree‑eligible coursework that meets defined standards. The coursework must be from a regionally accredited institution, appear on an official transcript, and be taught by a qualified instructor of record. The change does not force districts to create new salary schedules and preserves existing collective‑bargaining rights.
