Two Flexibility Bills
HB 400 (Eissler) Taken up by full House Thursday Repeal the current minimum salary schedule required for classroom teachers, full-time
librarians, full-time counselors, and full-time school nurses.
Eliminate the requirement to advance an employee one step on the minimum salary schedule
for each year of experience, through at least step 20.
Change the class size mandate that currently doesnt allow any class in grades kindergarten
through fourth to exceed 22 students, making it instead a district-wide average of 22 in
those grades, with a hard cap at 25.
Lift the requirement that educator contracts be 187 days of service though it would still require
a minimum of 180 days of instruction, allowing districts to furlough employees.
Streamline RIF process and clarify how long a financial exigency lasts.
Move 45-day nonrenewal notice deadline: Beginning with 2012-13 contracts, the deadline for
providing notice of contract nonrenewal for probationary and term contract employees
would be the last day of instruction, rather than the current 45-days before the last day
of instruction deadline. 8
