SB 5932 - DIGEST

Declares that, as the disparity in the cost-of-living between school districts across the state has grown in recent years, the purchasing power of equalized salaries has become more disparate for K-12 employees. A major contributor to these costs is housing. The purpose of this act is to authorize a housing allowance for public school teachers in order to encourage these employees to live in the districts in which they work.

Provides that school districts may provide a housing allowance for public school teachers with revenues raised from a housing allowance levy authorized under this act.
