HB 3033 establishes new minimum salary requirements for certified school staff in Oklahoma public schools, effective for the 2025-2026 school year. The bill sets a detailed pay schedule based on years of experience and education level (e.g., bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degrees), specifying minimum annual amounts for both salary and fringe benefits like retirement. It requires school districts to meet these minimums, with specific rules for crediting out-of-state teaching experience and military service. The law directly affects all certified teachers and support staff in Oklahoma’s public school districts.
