(105 ILCS 5/24-8) (from Ch. 122, par. 24-8)
| ||||
Sec. 24-8. Minimum salary. In fixing the salaries of | ||||

| ||
On or before January 31, 2020, the Professional Review | ||
Panel created under Section 18-8.15 must submit a report to the | ||

the evidence-based funding formula under Section 18-8.15 may | ||
aid the financial effects of the changes made by this | ||
amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly. | ||
Based upon previous public school
experience in this State | ||
or any other state, territory, dependency or
possession of the | ||
United States, or in schools operated by or under the
auspices | ||
of the United States, teachers who serve on a full-time basis
| ||
shall have their salaries increased to at least the following | ||
amounts
above the starting salary for a teacher in such | ||
district in the same
classification: with less than a | ||
bachelor's degree, $750 after 5 years;
with 120 semester hours | ||
or more and a bachelor's degree, $1,000 after 5
years and | ||
$1,600 after 8 years; with 150 semester hours or more and a | ||
master's
degree, $1,250 after 5 years, $2,000 after 8 years and | ||
$2,750 after 13 years.
| ||
For the purpose of this Section a teacher's salary shall | ||
include any amount
paid by the school district on behalf of the | ||
teacher, as teacher contributions,
to the Teachers' Retirement | ||
System of the State of Illinois.
| ||
If a school board establishes a schedule for teachers' | ||
salaries based
on education and experience, not inconsistent | ||
with this Section, all certificated
nurses employed by that | ||
board shall be paid in accordance with the provisions
of such | ||
schedule.
| ||
For purposes of this Section, a teacher who submits a | ||
certificate of
completion to the school office prior to the | ||
first day of the school
term shall be considered to have the | ||
degree stated in such certificate.
