SB 574 - This act directs the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to award, subject to appropriation, salary supplement grants to priority schools employing high quality teachers. The grants shall be awarded to eligible teachers as salary supplement grants of three thousand dollars. In distributing the grants, preference shall be given to unaccredited and provisionally accredited school districts and school buildings identified as academically deficient. Any salary supplement shall be in addition to the base salary to which the teacher would otherwise be entitled.
Further, the act instructs the state Board of Education to
establish by administrative rule the qualifications for high
quality teachers.
