Overview
This resolution proposes a measure to increase teacher salaries in Arizona, particularly at charter schools. It would require charter schools to report on teacher salaries, including average salaries for current and previous years, salary increases, and salary schedules. Furthermore, it establishes a teacher pay fund financed by state land trust revenues, with the goal of increasing base teacher salaries based on voter approval of increased distributions from the permanent funds. The resolution also modifies the state budget reporting requirements for school districts.
