Relating to placement on the minimum salary schedule and service credit in the Teacher Retirement System of Texas for certain public school career or technology education teachers.
HB 1057 increases salary and retirement benefits for certified career or technology education teachers in Texas public schools. The bill amends state law to allow these teachers to count up to five years of relevant work experience in their field (up from two years) toward both their salary step placement and service credit in the Teacher Retirement System. This change directly affects career/tech teachers who have industry experience before teaching, enabling them to advance faster in salary and retirement benefits. The policy takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
