The resolution HCR2020 seeks to significantly increase teacher salaries in Arizona's school districts and charter schools, contingent upon voter approval for a higher annual distribution rate from the Permanent State School Fund. It mandates that eligible teachers' base salaries be adjusted to exceed the fiscal year 2026 levels and establishes a new Teacher Pay Fund to support these increases. The resolution includes compliance and reporting requirements for school districts and charter schools, ensuring that no eligible teacher's salary falls below the new base salary. It also defines "eligible teachers," including current and future educators while excluding administrators and those with low performance evaluations.

Additionally, the resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution to ensure equitable access to education by mandating that state educational institutions are open to all students and that free schooling is available for pupils aged six to twenty-one for at least six months each year. If the amendment is approved by voters and proclaimed by the Governor, it will be presented during the next general election, reinforcing the commitment to providing free and accessible education for all eligible students in Arizona.
