SB 811 - This act requires that a minimum level of salary schedule credit be offered to public school teachers who change employment from one Missouri school district to another as specified in the act. Beginning with the 2002-2003 school year, teachers who have been employed for one year or more shall be offered credit for each year of service up to 5 years, with annual increases thereafter through the 2007-2008 school year. School districts may offer credit in excess of the schedule.

The act also specifies that moneys necessary to fund this section shall be appropriated from the state lottery fund in the event the courts declare that Section 16 of Article X of the Missouri Constitution applies to any provision of Section 168.090, RSMo (Section 168.095).

This act is similar to SB 483 (2001).
