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 include detailed salary information for teachers in their budgets, such as average salaries, increases, and the number of eligible teachers. Additionally, it mandates that this information be prominently displayed on the schools' websites. The resolution also introduces a new section that outlines the conditions under which school districts and charter schools must revise their salary schedules to increase the base salary of eligible teachers, contingent upon voter approval of increased distributions from the state land trust permanent funds.

Furthermore, the resolution establishes a Teacher Pay Fund to support these salary increases, detailing how funds will be allocated to eligible schools and the reporting requirements for those receiving funds. It defines "eligible teachers" and sets forth guidelines for compliance and accountability regarding the use of the funds. The resolution emphasizes transparency in budgeting and aims to ensure that teachers receive fair compensation while maintaining the integrity of school funding. If approved by voters, the measure will become law upon the Governor's proclamation.
