What’s in it
AI summary If a school district needs a teacher to cover an extra classroom because a substitute isn't available, the district must pay that teacher extra money. This additional pay is based on the hourly rate the district pays its substitute teachers. The extra payment covers the specific amount of time the teacher spent managing the additional classroom.1
Read the official explanation
This bill provides that when a school district temporarily increases a teacher’s teaching assignments by requiring the teacher to cover another classroom due to a sudden, unexpected need or when a substitute teacher is unavailable, the school district shall pay the teacher, in addition to the teacher’s regular wages or combined salary, an amount equal to the time of temporary additional classroom coverage multiplied by the equivalent to the highest average hourly rate of compensation the school district pays to a licensed substitute teacher.
