The resolution SCR1005 proposes a significant amendment regarding teacher salary increases in Arizona, contingent upon voter approval for an increased distribution rate from the Permanent State School Fund. If approved, it mandates that all school districts and charter schools revise their salary schedules to raise the base salary of eligible teachers. The resolution establishes a Teacher Pay Fund, which will be financed through legislative appropriations and distributions from the Permanent State School Fund, and outlines the administrative, distribution, eligibility, and reporting requirements for the fund.

Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the importance of maintaining teacher salaries, prohibiting any reductions below the base salary reported for fiscal year 2026, while allowing for adjustments based on individual circumstances. It also requires annual reporting from school districts and charter schools on the expenditures from the Teacher Pay Fund, ensuring compliance with the established requirements. The resolution aims to enhance teacher compensation and support the educational workforce in Arizona, reflecting a commitment to improving the quality of education through better financial support for teachers.
