What’s in it
AI summary Starting in July 2025, school districts can receive extra money if their current funding isn't enough to meet minimum teacher salary requirements. This extra money can only be used to cover the costs of teacher leadership positions. To get these funds, a school district's board must pass a resolution and notify the state each year.1
