This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to establish new requirements for minimum salaries for teachers in Pennsylvania. Specifically, it adds a new subsection to Section 1142.1, which mandates that starting salaries for teachers holding the same grade span State instructional certification must be uniform within the same class and step for the school term 2026-2027 and each subsequent school term.

The intent of this legislation is to ensure equitable compensation for teachers across school districts, promoting fairness and consistency in salary structures. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
