This bill amends existing laws regarding compensation for employees at the Kansas State School for the Blind and the Kansas State School for the Deaf. It mandates that these employees, specifically teachers and licensed personnel, receive compensation that is at least equal to that of teachers employed by Unified School District No. 233 in Olathe, Kansas, for the current school year. The bill removes references to previous compensation rates and the specific date of July 1, 2007, which were previously included in the law.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of "teacher" and "licensed personnel" as per existing statutes. It repeals the previous sections of K.S.A. 76-11a16 and K.S.A. 76-11a17, effectively updating the legal framework to ensure that compensation is aligned with current standards and practices. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
