It is the intent of the Legislature that any money appropriated for teacher compensation using the education funding plan included in SL 2016, ch 83 be used to directly improve teacher recruiting and retention and that the school districts advance this goal by increasing starting teacher salaries and providing for the rapid acceleration of teacher salaries for those below the midpoint in that teacher's applicable pay scale.
