Raise clause expires September 1, 2025, the day the Act takes effect! The salary floor stays.
The bill gives public school classroom teachers, full-time librarians, certified full-time counselors and full-time nurses a $400 monthly raise for the 2025-2026 school year, then makes that year's salary a floor for as long as each stays with the same district. Every school district, even one otherwise ineligible for state aid, gets $4,000 in state aid for each of those employees. As written, the $400 raise clause expires September 1, 2025, the same day the Act takes effect, so only the salary floor and the state aid remain in force.
