GA HR1857

Urges the Georgia Department of Education to increase teacher compensation and establish a salary structure indexed to the cost of living for certificated educators

Calls for development of a framework to index the minimum salary schedule to inflation and regional economic conditions

Current state law bases teacher salaries on certification level and years of experience but does not consistently account for inflation or cost-of-living changes

Aims to improve teacher recruitment and retention by aligning educator salaries with comparable professions requiring similar education and training

Non-binding resolution directing the Clerk of the House to distribute copies to the Georgia Department of Education, the public, and the press
