Special education teachers; provide annual salary supplements for certain.

HB 785 would provide Mississippi public school special education teachers with annual salary supplements based on their teaching setting. Teachers instructing students in an itinerant (traveling between schools) setting would receive $4,000, while those teaching in self-contained classrooms would receive $8,000. The bill amends the state's teacher salary schedule to add these supplements as a separate payment on top of base salaries, directly affecting eligible special education teachers in these specific instructional roles. The legislation does not change base salary rates but adds this targeted financial incentive for teachers working in these high-need environments.
