2010 House Bill 6302

Ban teacher “step” pay hikes when contract expires without replacement

Introduced in the House

June 30, 2010

Introduced by Rep. Tom McMillin (R-45)

To prohibit the continuation of “step” pay increases to school employees when a contract requiring these has expired without a new contract being signed. Under “step” increases, teachers and other school employees get automatic pay hikes bases solely on the number of years on the job, with no consideration given to whether a teacher’s students have learned at a faster or slower rate than comparable peers.

Referred to the Committee on Education
