Idaho legislature introduces $125 million teacher salary career ladder

Idaho lawmakers in the House Education Committee introduced a salary bill March 4 that is designed to increase spending on teacher pay by $125.6 million over five years.

After getting a sneak preview of draft legislation outlining the plan on February 27, committee members voted to formally introduce the career ladder bill, Idaho Education News reported.

The 33-page proposal has been revised slightly since Feb. 27, but many hallmarks are the same.

Upon implementation in 2019-20, the career ladder would increase minimum teacher salaries to $37,000. Master teachers with at least eight years of experience and an advanced degree would be able to earn up to $57,500 – if they meet a series of state and local performance benchmarks.
