This bill amends Section 33-1004B of the Idaho Code to revise the provisions regarding the career ladder for instructional and pupil service staff in school districts. Key changes include the establishment of new salary allocation amounts effective July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2024, which increase the base allocations for residency, professional, and advanced professional compensation rungs. For instance, the residency allocation will rise to $47,477 in 2023 and $47,859 in 2024, while the professional allocation will increase to $50,349 and $50,859, respectively. Additionally, the bill introduces a requirement for annual reviews of administrator evaluations to ensure adherence to the state framework for teaching evaluation.

The bill also mandates that school districts submit annual data to the state to determine if instructional and pupil service staff have met performance criteria for movement on the compensation rungs. This data will include performance on measurable student achievement and success indicators. The act declares an emergency, making it effective on July 1, 2025, ensuring that the revised provisions are implemented promptly to support the career advancement and compensation of educational staff in Idaho.
