Repeals sections of S.L. 2013-360 and S.L. 2014-100 that eliminated education-based salary supplements for teachers with advanced degrees.

Reinstates the "M" salary schedule or academic preparation salary supplements for certified school nurses, instructional support personnel requiring master's degrees for licensure, and teachers who received such pay before the 2014-2015 school year.

Allows teachers who completed at least one graduate-level course prior to August 1, 2013, to receive salary supplements if they complete a master's, six-year, or doctoral degree and would have qualified under State Board of Education policy TCP-A-006 as of June 30, 2013.

Permits teachers spending at least 70% of work time in classroom instruction related to their graduate academic preparation to receive "M" salary schedule pay, with remaining time spent mentoring teachers, performing demonstration lessons, writing curricula, or developing staff development programs.

Effective July 1, 2019, with annual re-evaluation required for teachers under the 70% classroom instruction provision, and excludes teachers with advanced degrees in school administration from receiving these salary supplements.
