reporting; teacher salary increases; schools.

SCR 1041 is a referendum bill that would require charter schools to publicly report average teacher salaries annually, including year-over-year dollar and percentage increases. If approved by voters, it would establish a "teacher pay fund" using state land trust distributions to mandate base salary increases for eligible teachers in all school districts and charter schools, with increases applied uniformly regardless of experience. The bill also requires schools to submit detailed salary data to the state education department and prohibits reducing base salaries below 2026-2027 levels without corresponding budget adjustments. This measure directly affects public school employees and school districts, focusing on transparency and standardized salary increases funded through state resources.
