HB 754 -- Salary Supplements for Nationally Certified Teachers

Sponsor:  Franklin

This bill requires the State Board of Education to create a
program of salary supplements for public school teachers who
attain National Board for Professional Teaching Standards
certification.  The supplements run for 10 years, beginning in
the school year in which the teacher attains certification.  The
annual amount is $5,000.  The supplement is in addition to base
salary, and teachers receiving the salary must receive pay and
benefits comparable to teachers of similar training, experience,
and duties.  Teachers who hold national certification may also
receive a supplement of 10% of base pay if they act as mentors
for other teachers who are national board certification
candidates.
