The resolution proposes a measure concerning school employees in Arizona, which will be submitted to voters for approval. It aims to amend existing statutes related to charter school budgets and teacher salaries. Specifically, it requires charter schools to disclose detailed salary information for teachers, including average salaries, increases, and the number of eligible teachers. Additionally, it establishes a new section that mandates salary increases for eligible teachers if voters approve an increased distribution rate from the state land trust permanent funds. The measure also outlines the creation of a teacher pay fund to support these salary increases and sets forth compliance requirements for school districts and charter schools.

If approved, the resolution will lead to significant changes in how teacher salaries are managed and reported in Arizona. It emphasizes transparency by requiring schools to post salary information on their websites and mandates annual reporting to the state. The proposed changes aim to ensure that eligible teachers receive equitable salary increases, regardless of experience, and to protect their salaries from being reduced below a specified baseline. The resolution underscores the importance of supporting educators and enhancing the overall quality of education in the state.
