Districts missing $60,000 teacher minimum would disclose state notices

The department must notify school leaders and the governing body when a corporation misses the applicable teacher salary minimum; the corporation must publicly acknowledge and post the notice and relevant reports. The salary minimum is for each full-time teacher at a school corporation. The department sends a notice when a school corporation fails to meet the applicable salary minimum. The corporation's public duties begin when its governing body receives that notice. If the department determines the corporation meets the minimum in a later state fiscal year, the corporation may remove the notices and relevant department reports from its website. The $60,000 minimum applies to school years beginning after June 30, 2027. The department must send a notice for each state fiscal year the corporation misses the applicable minimum. The governing body must acknowledge the notice at its next public meeting and publish it, along with relevant department reports, on the corporation's website within 30 days after that meeting.
