HB 3046-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

     Finds that the state lacks a career advancement structure that provides substantially enhanced compensation packages for outstanding teachers who continue classroom teaching while they act as instructional leaders for their buildings.

     Declares an intent to create a pilot program designed to keep lead teachers working directly with students in the classroom while they are providing instructional leadership and mentoring for other teachers in their buildings.
