Summary

The bill amends the state teacher salary code to add an annual cash supplement for teachers who hold a National Board certification and work in areas the State Board of Education labels as geographically critical teacher shortage zones. It also creates a $6,000 yearly supplement for nationally certified teachers, nurses, and counselors who meet documentation deadlines. The goal is to attract and retain highly qualified educators and staff where they are most needed.
